Nicholas Galitzine has added yet another role to his roster of queer-film appearances, after being cast in an adaptation of graphic novel The 100 Nights Of Hero.
After the success of Prime Video's Red, White & Royal Blue, Galitzine is set to star in an adaptation of Isabel Greenberg's graphic novel take on the classic folk tale Arabian Nights/One Thousand and One Nights, and focuses on the love story between two women.
According to Deadline , Galitzne has been cast as the villain of the piece: Manfred
The official synopsis of the story says: "The 100 Nights Of Hero centres around Cherry and Hero, who are in love. Cherry is married to a man named Jerome, who makes a bet with his friend, lecherous villain Manfred, that Manfred can seduce Cherry within 100 nights.
"If Manfred succeeds, Jerome will give Cherry to him."
Cherry, however, isn’t interested and devises a plan of her own with Hero...
The adaptation will be directed by Bonus Track's Julia Jackman , and while Galitzine's role isn't queer, he is no stranger to playing gay characters .
He appeared alongside Andrew Scott in gay coming-of-age romance Handsome Devil in 2016, as well as playing queer characters in The Craft: Legacy (2020) and Legends (2015).
More recently, he starred opposite (and on top of) Taylor Zakhar Perez in Red, White & Royal Blue, and as George Villiers in Sky's horny historical drama Mary & George .
A sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue (we we want called Red, White & Royal Two) has been confirmed .
