The first movie poster for The Iron Lady has been unveiled.
Meryl Streep features as former prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the upcoming biopic from Mamma Mia!'s Phyllida Lloyd, who directs from a script by Abi Morgan.
The new poster shows Streep as Thatcher and the Houses of Parliament - as well as a dagger-like neckline and the tagline "Never Compromise".
Streep is supported in the film by Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher and Anthony Head as Geoffrey Howe.
Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd play Margaret and Dennis in their younger years, and the cast is rounded out by Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell, Susan Brown, Roger Allam, Julian Wadham, Pip Torrens, Nick Dunning, Richard E. Grant, David Westhead, Angus Wright and John Sessions.
Broadbent has said that Streep is ideal for the role.
The Iron Lady will reportedly include scenes of Streep's Thatcher dancing with a young Denis and US President Ronald Reagan.
