Written by Damon and Ben Affleck, who each won an Academy Award back in 1998 for their Good Will Hunting screenplay, the film follows the latter's King Charles VI after he declares that knight Jean de Carrouges (Damon) will take part in single combat fight against his squire Jacques LeGris, as a means to settle their differences.

Comer is set to play Damon's character's wife Marguerite de Carrouges, and will be seen on screen opposite her Killing Eve co-star Harriet Walter, Sam Hazeldine (Peaky Blinders), Nathaniel Parker (Merlin) and Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Adam Driver.

Damon had previously arrived in Dublin with his wife and children in March, expecting to start shooting the picture then. However, the work was almost immediately halted due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

While no official release date has been announced, The Last Duel is expected to reach cinemas sometime in 2021.
