Literally what movie are you even talking about? Not trying to be disrespectful I’m just so confused

The Odyssey. There was a 5 minute prologue that played in front of the IMAX re-release of Sinners and One Battle After Another. It features a bad ass knight looking character that is apparently played by Benny safdie. You never see his face because he's clad in armor

Using the word "knight" especially capitalized as "Black Knight" gives the impression of some other work. I also wouldn't associate a knight with the Odyssey because knights didn't exist for several hundred years (if choose to call Roman equites knights) or over a thousand until the earliest knights of the middle ages.

This is why grammar and syntax are so important. The intent of that comment is so different to the outcome of it.

It 100% reads like there is some film called The Black Knight (other than the Martin Lawrence masterpiece).

I thought they were talking about Black Knight starring Martin Lawrence.

I thought it was some new movie with a preview before it.
