Preacher: Watch unholy reverend in trailer for cult comic book series
THE latest trailer for cult comic book series Preacher has dropped online ahead of the show’s release on Amazon Prime on Monday.
Preacher - Official trailer
In the 90-second trailer, a child is seen asking the titular preacher of the series called Jesse Custer - played by British actor Dominic Cooper - if he will hurt his father for him.
He tells the young boy that it’s a sin just to ask him and he chillingly replies: “I know, people said that before you were a preacher, you did things.”
It’s then that Jesse, who has been leaning back in deck chair, sits up and seems to take a keen interest in what the youngster is saying: “How hurt you want him? How far do I go? The problem is, your daddy’s a big fella, he’s going to fight back. These things escalate.”
There is then a montage of violence as Jesse seems to fight several different characters.
The teaser ends with a sheriff telling Jesse that he has done “enough” as he beats up a man and finishes off by his breaking his arm.
The dark fantasy comedy, which has been adapted from the graphic novel series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, will makes its debut next week.
