this week’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo goes back in time to realize not much has changed with the film, “Firebrand.” Directed by Karim Ainouz (“Invisible Life,” “Futuro Beach”), the film follows Catherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), the sixth wife of Henry VIII (Jude Law), who finds herself fighting for survival when the paranoid king grows more suspicious of her actions. The film also stars Eddie Marsan, Simon Russell Beale, Erin Doherty, and more.

During the interview, Law and Vikander discussed their parts being filled with “so many colors to play” that the roles were almost irresistible and so many other aspects of their career.

Not only did they discuss "Firebrand," but Vikander's time on the 'Tomb Raider' franchise, Jude Law's tenure on Marvel and the upcoming 'Star Wars' project 'Skeleton Key,' but also almost appearing as Superman in a version of the film with Colin Farrell and Brett Ratner from almost 20 years ago.
