Edgerton plays a villain and a historical one at that, as he embodies ancient ruler Ramses in Exodus.
He goes head-to-head with Oscar-winner Christian Bale, who plays Moses trying to free his enslaved people from the Pharaoh's control.
Edgerton paints a curious picture as the controlling leader, with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Aussie not the most obvious choice to play an Egyptian.
Yet in reviews of the film, he is said to deliver the calculating menace of the character with the expert precision that has made him a sought after leading man in Hollywood.
In addition to the blockbuster, Edgerton has two films scheduled for release next year including sci-fi flick, Midnight Special where he stars opposite US actress Kirsten Dunst.
