Myth or Madness The Green Knight's Dev Patel and Joel Edgerton Break Down the Film's Meaning

Actors Dev Patel (Sir Gawain) and Joel Edgerton (the Lord) talk to IGN about what the titular character in David Lowery's fantasy film The Green Knight represents. An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table. The Green Knight opens in theaters in the US on July 30. #IGN #TheGreenKnight
