François Civil, Eva Green and Vincent Cassel to stars in a new two-part film adaptation of The Three Musketeers

François Civil, Eva Green and Vincent Cassel are set to play D’Artagnan, Milady and Athos in a new two part adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers.

The films are called The Three Musketeers – D’Artagnan and The Three Musketeers – Milady and will be directed by Martin Bourboulon. Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière wrote the script of both films which are now in pre-production.

The films will shoot simultaneously at the end of this summer in France, according to Variety.

The cast also includes Pio Marmaï as Porthos, Romain Duris as Aramis, Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) as Queen Anne of Austria, Louis Garrel as King Louis XIII, Lyna Khoudri (The French Dispatch) as Constance Bonacieux, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (The Invisible Man) as the Duke of Buckingham.

Announcements on who will be playing Richelieu and others will be announced in the coming weeks. The adaptation will also introduce a new character, Hannibal, based on the true story of Louis Anniaba, the first Black musketeer in French history.

The films will be produced by Chapter 2 CEO Dimitri Rassam (The Little Prince) and Pathé, while M6 will serve as a co-producer on the project along with Germany’s Constantin Film and Spain’s DeAPlaneta.

“We feel a great deal of responsibility to protect the work of Dumas whilst offering an authentic and exciting cinematic saga for today’s audiences,” said Rassam. “We are thrilled to launch, for the third time in our history, the adaptation of one of the most iconic piece of French literature with an incredible creative team and longstanding partners who gathered as our own musketeers,” added Pathé Films’ CEO Ardavan Safaee
