Letitia Wright stands center frame, only her shoulders up visible. She wears all white, her head hooded by a shear white fabric that falls past her shoulders. Her neck is wrapped in white beaded necklaces starting at her chest and raveling all the way up to her chin. She also wears large earrings that look like saber teeth on each ear and they too fall past her shoulders. She stares straight ahead, her face sullen. White paint is dotted into fine lines across her cheekbones and up her nose. Behind her walks a crowd of other people, also in white as if in a procession.

Episode Detail

Millie Bobby Brown is in the center of the image mid run. She wears a faded blue skirt, a brown button up vest, and a light pink collared shirt underneath. The shirt sleeves are rolled up to her elbows and the skirt is gathered at the waist to shorten the hem length. Around her waist is also a small yellow pouch that peeks out from her vest. Brown's left arm is in front of her, slightly blocking her chest, while her right arm stretches behind her. Her arms are pumping alongside her as she sprints through a dirt street. Behind her, seemingly chasing after her, are two police officers. Their uniforms are from the 1800s (the time period of the film), with navy blue coats that hit mid-thigh with brass round buttons up the middle, and matching navy blue pants. The two officers also wear helmets, almost egg-shaped, with straps across their chins to help keep them in place. One of the officers on the left is partially blocked by Brown's frame, while the other officer on the right can be fully seen, his left hand holding a cylindrical tan item. In the background along the street are men in suits watching next to carts full of burlap sacks. A horse drawn carriage can be seen behind the two officers as well as signs for storefronts to the right, indicating a bustling city.

Episode Detail

Felix Kammerer stands to the far right. He holds a rifle against his right shoulder ready to fire it if needed. Kammerer looks straightforward, eyes wide and intense, concentrating on what is in front of him. He wears a helmet and grey military uniform. His face is smudged with mud, a thin line of blood trailing along his nose. Behind Kammerer to the left is Albrecht Schuch. He too holds a rifle against his right shoulder, but its muzzle is pointed down towards the ground. His helmet hoods his eyes in shadow, and he wears the same grey military uniform as Kammerer. Behind them stands another man in the same helmet and uniform, his head and shoulders just visible between Kammerer's and Schuch's shoulders. The three men are surrounded by tall wooden and metal walls of war trenches. Everything is a grey hue.

Episode Detail

'The Rock' Johnson stands in the center of the image, mid-stride. He wears a skin-tight suit that is dark gray and covers his chest, arms, and down through his legs. The suit has a cracked texture, like lava rock or charred wood. A large, bulky leather belt sits around his waist, the same color of the suit, but a smoother texture. In the middle of Johnson's chest is a large orange lightening bolt that glows as if made of lava. Johnson stares straight ahead, eyes hooded. Behind him is an elaborate hallway with intricate wall designs of gold, emerald, and blue.

There is a conductor in the back right indicating that they are on at a train platform, possibly just arriving.

Robbie looks at Bale out the corners of her eyes with uncertainty. Her hair is in a loose bob and she wears a black coat, a pink kerchief around her neck poking through under its collar. Right of Robbie is John David Washington. He wears a black suite with a tan waistcoat and red tie. He is looking at the same person Bale is, though his glance is one of skepticism, eyes hooded.
