With a simple layout, the poster features the titular hero looking off into the distance against a black background. In his hand he carries a magical staff with a powerful blue glow. In addition to the blue light, the poster also features yellow sparkles flying across the image alongside the Dolby logo that illuminates the figure. With the contrast of dark and light colors, the poster effectively serves as a standout piece for the film’s marketing campaign while also inviting audiences to explore and experience the film on the highest quality screen they can find.
