Spoilers – Warning, the article below contains potential spoilers. If you do not wish to know its contents, please do not read the following…

“Frank Pitio is not in the movie. It’s a little more difficult for Perceval”– Alexander Astie said two weeks ago Samuel Etienne’s show Ma Vie ProWhich has led to a lot of theories among Camelot fans.

“He is present in a certain way”

“It is true that Perceval’s actor did not return, it is fate, it means that history must move and he will go. Perceval is not defined by his historical actor, but he is in some way, in another way.”A few days later, he entrusted us with the microphone.

while Camelot – part two In cinemas from this Wednesday, it’s time to assess the presence or absence of Knight Perceval in the feature film.

If you haven’t seen an Alexandre Astier film yet, I suggest you stop reading here to keep the element of surprise.

Where is Perceval?

It will be recalled that at the end of the first part, after the destruction of the castle, the half-Crustilants, of which Perceval was a member, began to rebuild the tavern, an essential place in the mythology of Camelot, which Lancelot destroyed.

At the beginning of this second part, the work is finished and the establishment has reopened its doors under the direction of the innkeeper and Caradoc, who are attacked by customers. But there is no Perceval on the horizon!

Better than that: When he reads the letter and discovers that his former colleague sent him the letter, Caradoc bitterly throws him across the room and declares that he no longer wants to hear from Lord Percival.

then what happened Under what conditions did the two friends break up? And where did the unspeakable Welshman go?

A little later in the film, when Missy (accompanied by a small duckling) is finally deciphered, we learn a little more. With the voice of the tavern keeper reading the letter, we find Perceval’s character and discover that he has been going alone in search of the Grail for quite some time. “The Familiar, the Lonely and the Forbidden Knight”He signs off to bursts of laughter from us.

Perceval’s letter

Only at the end of the featurette, when Guinevere in turn reads Perceval’s letter to Arthur (this time with a small piece of cheese), do we once again encounter the character’s epistolary voice. Here again, his story is full of humor and sincerity, which has always characterized him.

Thus, we learn that he had everything stolen by an old man, whom Percival eventually found, but eventually turned out to be. “good”. “And he is the one who writes the letter.”The Welsh knight also reveals to Arthur that he controls Excalibur, the sword that was re-implanted in the rock by the sovereign of the kingdom of Logres. Perceval adds that he thinks he will be able to return the Grail to Arthur in two weeks. “Or at worst, fifteen days”.

You understand that Perceval is not physically present in this second part. But he is still very much alive and continues to make us laugh with his writings. what happens next Will he finally find the grail? Will we see him reappear in part 2? And if so, in what form?

Could it have something to do with the mysterious apparition that Arthur and Caradoc seem to share in the final seconds of the film and in the post-credits scene?

We will have to wait another year to get answers to all these questions.
