<P> Warner's next attempt to create a new King Arthur film was an attempt to create an Arthurian cinematic universe which would span six films, following different characters before their eventual team up . For this endeavour they hired director Guy Ritchie, who has himself attempted to make a King Arthur movie prior to that . According to The Guardian, the script soon became "a strange Frankenstein's Monster - style screenplay" incorporating elements from several of the unproduced Arthurian scripts . </P> <P> In August 2014, Charlie Hunnam, Ritchie's choice for the role, was cast to play King Arthur . Elizabeth Olsen was in talks for the female lead, but on September 18, Àstrid Bergès - Frisbey landed the role instead . On November 14, Jude Law was in talks to play the lead villain role in the film . On February 11, 2015, Eric Bana was added to the cast to play Uther, the father of King Arthur . Mikael Persbrandt joined the film on March 6 2015, to play a villainous role . Although there were reports Idris Elba had been cast, he would confirm, in a Reddit AMA, this was a rumour . </P> <P> Filming in Windsor Great Park was underway in February 2015, then later in North Wales from March 2, 2015 . Later on March 10, 2015, Ritchie tweeted a photo and confirmed the first day of shooting . In April 2015, filming took place in Snowdonia, where locations used were Tryfan, Nant Gwynant near Beddgelert and Capel Curig . Early in July filming continued in the Shieldaig, Loch Torridon and Applecross areas of Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands . One day of filming also took place at The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye . Filming also took place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden . </P> <P> In April 2014, Warner Bros. set the film for a July 22, 2016 release, alongside Lights Out, but it was then moved by Warner Bros. from its original release date of July 22, 2016 to February 17, 2017, alongside Maze Runner: The Death Cure . Warner Bros. moved the release date from February 17, 2017 to March 24, 2017 . The title was changed to King Arthur: Legend of the Sword in July 2016 . In December 2016 the release date was again moved, this time to May 12, 2017, possibly so as not to compete with CHiPs . </P>
