Joaquin Phoenix is ready to conquer the world in the first image from Napoleon.
Nothing quite beats a historical epic, and director Ridley Scott plans on returning to the genre with the release of Napoleon later this year. In part of Apple’s WWDC 2023 event, a brand-new sneak peek from the upcoming film has been revealed, which showcases Joaquin Phoenix as the titular historical figure rising to power.
While no additional details were provided, the new look at the film features Napoleon Bonaparte himself standing in a ship, likely embarking on a naval voyage to conquer all of Europe. While specific details remain under wraps for now, the film will reportedly center on Bonaparte’s relationship with Empress Joséphine, played by Vanessa Kirby, as he eventually rises to become the Emperor of the French.

However, plans changed earlier this year after Apple announced that future movies would be receiving a traditional theatrical release model, beginning with Killers of the Flower Moon.
Alongside the release of Napoleon later this year, Scott will be returning to the world of Ancient Rome with the long-awaited Gladiator sequel, which is currently slated to be released on November 22, 2024, with Paul Mescal attached to star. Historical epics are long overdue for a comeback, and it appears Scott has a couple up his sleeve for audiences to immerse themselves into when they debut in theaters in the near future.
Napoleon conquers theaters on November 22. Check out the official image from the upcoming film below:
