To prove his bravery, Dev Patel goes on a perilous quest in the first official teaser trailer for the upcoming medieval fantasy film "The Green Knight," which hails from acclaimed writer-director David Lowery, of "The Old Man & the Gun" and "Pete's Dragon" fame.

Based on the classic Arthurian tale "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," the film casts the "Slumdog Millionaire" actor as Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, who sets off on a fantastical odyssey in search of a mystical green knight.
