1242: Gateway to the West is a 2025 English-language Hungarian historical action film directed by Péter Soós and co-written by Aron Horvath and Joan Lane. The film features an ensemble cast including Jeremy Neumark Jones, Neil Stuke, Bold Choimbol, Genevieve Chenneour, Michael Ironside, Eric Roberts, David Schofield, and Ray Stevenson in his final film role.[2][3]
When the Great Mongolian Army is about to invade Europe in 1242, it doesn’t expect that the Hungarian castle of Esztergom and its priest, Eusebius, will stop it.
In May 2022, Kevin Spacey was cast in the leading role of Papal Legate Cardinal Cesareani. Just two months later, in July 2022, he was dropped from the role due to new sexual assault charges against him. His replacement was noted English actor Ray Stevenson.[2][4][3]
In May 2023, Stevenson, just 58 years old, died during post-production, while working on his next project, Cassino in Ischia. Since his latter role was taken over by another actor, 1242 will likely be his final appearance on film.[5][6]
