Jack Gleeson stars alongside Liam Neeson in In the Land of Saints and Sinners trailer

In Game of Thrones, there were a lot of well-known antagonists. We hated them all differently, be it the ruthless Ramsey Bolton, the icy-cold Night King, or the precariously evil Cersei Lannister. There was one character, though, who truly made us despise him. King Joffrey Baratheon! Jack Gleeson, who portrayed Joffrey in the television series, is set to make a significant impact on the silver screen following a protracted hiatus with his new film In the Land of Saints and Sinners.
