He'll have a magic sword to aid him in battle.

And it seems Charlie Hunnam also prepared for combat with a few reps at the gym for his role as King Arthur in the upcoming Legend Of The Sword flick.

The 36-year-old UK-born actor flaunted his ripped body in the final trailer for the movie, which was released on Saturday.

Scroll down for trailer...

Workhorse: It seems Charlie Hunnam, 36, also prepared for combat with a few reps at the gym for his role as King Arthur in the upcoming flick

In the first scene of the trailer, usurper Vortigern, who is played by Jude Law, dons his crown in front of a massive crowd as he mounts the throne.

As it is the centerpiece of the film, a shot of the sword Excaliber embedded in a rock is then flashed on screen, along with voiceover explaining the sword belongs to a king other than Vortigern.

Instructions are then laid out to find the true owner of the powerful sword, and several chases ensue.

Finally, Vortigern finds the scruffy Arthur, played by Charlie, and lectures him with 'what kind of man would you have become had you inherited your father’s kingdom, instead of being raised in a brothel?'
