Stanley Tucci cut a dapper figure as he joined Ralph Fiennes and Isabella Rossellini at the London premiere of their new film Conclave on Thursday.

The 63-year-old actor looked suave as he took to the red carpet in an all-black suit, teamed with formal shoes and an array of brown beaded bracelets.

Meanwhile, Ralph, 61, who is playing the starring role in the upcoming movie, put on a smart display in a black tailored suit, paired with a white shirt and blue tie.

He will appear on screens as Cardinal Lomeli in the adaptation of the Robert Harris novel of the same name, which focuses on the hypothetical behind-the-scenes story of what happens at the Vatican after the Pope dies. 

In the film, Cardinals arrive at the Vatican and Cardinal Lomeli leads them, deciding who will be the new Pope as secrets surrounding the old leader come to light.

Conclave was produced by House Productions and FilmNation Entertainment. 

The premiere comes after Ralph Fiennes called to end trigger warnings at theatres suggesting that audiences have ‘gone too soft’.

The star said that stage performances should leave audiences ‘shocked and disturbed’ adding that the element of surprise is ‘what makes theatre so exciting’.

Trigger warnings ahead of performances have become increasingly commonplace in recent years, warning audiences of violence, abuse, bereavement, loud noises and even references to smoking.

Ralph joined his peers, such as Lord of the Ring’s star Sir Ian McKellen and actor Christopher Biggins, to call for the excessive warnings to be axed.

When asked by BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg is audiences have gone too soft said: ‘I think audiences have. We didn’t used to have trigger warnings.

‘There are very disturbing scenes in Macbeth, terrible murders and things, but I think the impact of theatre is that you should be shocked and you should be disturbed.

‘I don’t think you should be prepared for these things and when I was young we never had trigger warnings before a show.’

The actor added that he would get rid of trigger warnings but would keep notifications about strobe lighting, and other props that could damage a person’s health, in place.

‘Shakespeare’s plays are full of murder and full of horror, and as a young student and lover of the theatre I never experienced trigger warnings like oh by the way in King Lea Gloucester’s going to have his eyes pulled out,’ he said.

‘Theatre needs to be alive and in the present. It’s the shock, it’s the unexpected, that’s what makes the theatre so exciting.’

The actor, known for The English Patient, Schindler’s List and The Grand Budapest Hotel, recently starred in an immersive touring production of Macbeth.
