The Duke is set in 1961 and follows 60-year-old taxi driver Kempton Bunton (played by Jim Broadbent) who steals artist Francisco Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London.

The film was met with critical acclaim during its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in 2020, as well as at last year’s Telluride Film Festival.

Deadline reported back in February that The Duke’s theatrical release date had been pushed from March 25, 2022 to April 22, 2022.

During the UK premiere in February, Helen spoke about being drawn to the comedy-drama’s ‘funny’ and ‘moving’ script.

‘It was funny, it was moving, it was unexpected. It was a lovely piece of writing, really, really lovely,’ she recalled to BANG Showbiz.

Helen plays Kempton Bunton’s wife Dorothy, which was a character she really ‘wanted to play.’

She continued: ‘I wanted to work with Jim, and I wanted to work with Roger, so it all came together for me.’
