Marvel Agents of SHEILD star Iain De Caestecker is transformed into Arthur Pendragon in first-look images for a new series which retells the Arthurian legend.

Upcoming ITVX series The Winter King is based on Bernard Cornwell’s The Warlord Chronicles and will debut on the streaming platform later this year.

Set in the fifth century in a land filled with warring factions and tribes, the series follows outcast Pendragon as he becomes warrior leader King Arthur.

Scottish actor Iain, who was the original Adam Barlow actor in Coronation Street, stars as Pendragon. The actor has also appeared in the films including Not Another Happy Ending, Lost River, and Overlord - but he's perhaps best known for his role of Leopold Fitz in the Marvel series Agent of SHIELD.
