New movies this week: The Foreigner, Marshall

RALEIGH, N.C. — A look at what's new in theaters this week.

Marshall (Drama, PG-13, Starring Dan Stevens, Kate Hudson, Josh Gad, Sterling K. Brown, Sophia Bush) - Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, Marshall, is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days - a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of black chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), of sexual assault and attempted murder.

The Foreigner (Action/Adventure, Suspense/Thriller, R, Starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy, Michael McElhatton, Orla Brady) - This film tells the story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love -- his teenage daughter -- is taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.

Happy Death Day (Horror, Suspense/Thriller, PG-13, Starring Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine, Rachel Varela, Cariella Smith) - A college student relives the day of her murder until she discovers her killer's identity.

Professor Marston & the Wonder Woman (Drama. R, Starring Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, Bella Heathcote, Connie Britton, JJ Feild) - In a superhero origin tale unlike any other, the film is the incredible true story of what inspired Harvard psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston to create the iconic Wonder Woman character in the 1940's. While Marston's feminist superhero was criticized by censors for her 'sexual perversity', he was keeping a secret that could have destroyed him. Marston's muses for the Wonder Woman character were his wife Elizabeth Marston and their lover Olive Byrne, two empowered women who defied convention: working with Marston on human behavior research -- while building a hidden life with him that rivaled the greatest of superhero disguises.
