Mordred: Oh please, you wouldn’t hurt a fly!
Guinevere: You’re right! Because a fly is an innocent creature that never knowingly did anything to anybody. You, however, I would maim.
Guinevere/’Mage’ confusion
So anyone else confused about Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey’s character in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword now just being called ‘Mage’ instead of Guinevere? I thought it was just on IMDb at first, seeing that anyone can change stuff on there, but on the Facebook page for the movie and in description of the official trailer they also only list her as Mage?? Though I guess whoever runs those sites just c/p that from IMDb. Especially because Àstrid’s character is still being called Guinevere in the latest promo articles etc. Anyway, I kinda tried to compile a list of mentions/more information about Guinevere and the general movie production.
Behind the
cut because it’s kinda long / also spoilers about the movie and Àstrid’s role in particular.
Thank you for this!

Are there any books or tales where the Robin Hood ‘mythos’ is thrown into the mix?
In “The Once and Future King” there’s Robin Hood in the first book! I don’t remember seeing Robin Hood legends in any other arthurian novels.
About other media, in the old Robin Hood tv show there was an arthurian episode called “Return to Camelot” (s04e09). There’s also Robin Hood in King Arthur’s Disaster cartoon!
There’s also an adventure with Robin Hood in the Sword in the Stone by T.H. White (the guy who wrote the once and future king).
Yes I meant that! The sword in the stone is the first book in the once and future king series,

“Nighttime hosemanship?” Kay asked.
“Knights – it is a new word, a Saxon word. It means ‘servant’.”
“Servant of horses?” Kay protested jokingly.
