For those in need of their Idris Elba fix, Avengers: Age of Ultron certainly came up short and it looks like we’ll need to wait until fall for Beasts of No Nation, but in the meantime — if you’re in the U.K. — you are in luck. After quietly premiering at Toronto International Film Festival last fall, Second Coming will be released a month from today in the U.K. and today brings the first trailer.
The debut of BAFTA award-winning director and playwright Debbie Tucker Green, the story follows a tight-knit family unit navigating their way through life as it breaks down in the aftermath of an unexplained pregnancy. Also starring Nadine Marshall, her character believes it was an immaculate conception, which certainly adds a twist. As we await news of a U.S. release, check out the trailer and clip below thanks to Film4.
Set in present day London, Jackie (Nadine Marshall) is pregnant and knows it’s not her husband’s (Idris Elba). She says she hasn’t slept with anybody else, now she doesn’t know if she is losing her mind. Communication, trust and intimacy are at the heart of this warm, fearless family drama as Jackie struggles to explain news of her pregnancy. Over the course of a year the film follows Jackie, husband Mark and their 11 year old son JJ (Kai Francis Lewis) as this ordinary family struggles for answers as accusations start to fly.
Second Coming opens on June 5th in the UK.
