Nicholas Galitzine is set to add another LGBTQIA+ film to his ever-expanding, rainbow-hued resume. According to Deadline, the British actor has been cast in an upcoming adaptation of Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel 100 Nights of Hero.
Set in the fantasy world of Migdal Bavel, the story follows a woman named Cherry who has secretly fallen in love with her maid Hero.
Unbeknownst to Cherry, her wicked husband Jerome has bet his friend Manfred that he won’t be able to seduce her within one-hundred nights.
If Manfred succeeds in seducing Cherry, Jerome will hand over his wife and his castle. However, Cherry and Hero, a member of the League of Secret Story Tellers, hatch a plan: Hero will distract Manfred by telling him “mesmerising” stories each night for one-hundred nights to “keep him at bay”.
