There's not much info on Beckham's role in the film just yet. According to IMDb , Beckham will play a "blackleg leader." Rumors of Beckham's participation have been around since July 2015. The Guardian reported that the 41-year-old would play a "disgruntled knight" in the film. The same report alleged that Guy Ritchie, who directed the film, wrote soccer puns for Beckham's scenes. (Please, film gods: Don't let this happen.) For all this speculation, though, we had no actual photographic proof of the role — until today.
