What the trailer for “The Swamp King’s Daughter” tells about the film

After saying goodbye to Rey (for now) in the divisive Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. Rise”, “The Bog King’s Daughter” seems like a pretty big change for Ridley in terms of character and tone. In addition to the American accent, Ridley plays the daughter’s mother in a story with very dark themes. The trailer reveals that Helena’s mother was held captive by the infamous criminal known as the Swamp King for 12 years and gave birth to Helena during that time.

The fact that Ridley’s character also has a daughter can be used to address mature themes of generational trauma. Although the main confrontation is between Elena and Jacob, it seems that Elena’s daughter becomes involved in the conflict when Jacob makes contact with them. The trailer suggests that much of the film will be filled with suspense and horror as Helena deals with aspects of her past, but that tension will eventually escalate into violence as Helena holds a shotgun to fight for her justice.

In addition to Ridley and Mendelssohn, Garrett Hedlund plays Helena’s husband Stephen in The Bog King’s Daughter. Other cast members include Yellowstone’s Gil Birmingham, Brooklyn Prince, Karen Pistorius, and Joey Carson. The Swamp King’s Daughter hits theaters on October 6, and the battle between Elena and Jacob is likely to have a bloody epilogue.
