It\u2019s been over a year since Mary Magdalene<\/a><\/i> \u2014 starring Rooney Mara in the title role and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus \u2014 opened in British and Australian theatres. Now American audiences are finally going to see the film, and that means it\u2019s time for a new trailer \u2014 one that emphasizes different aspects of the film than the earlier trailers did.<\/p>\n

The first<\/a> and second<\/a> international trailers \u2014 released in November 2017 and February 2018 \u2014 put Mary front-and-centre, emphasizing the film\u2019s feminist themes and underscoring the idea that she was drawn to Jesus because he was close to God. But the American trailer, released today, begins with Jesus asking Mary a question, and Jesus and Mary smiling at each other \u2014 and that sets a rather different tone for what follows.<\/p>\n
