The Judge will mark the return of Robert Downey Jr to the big screen, and a brand new poster has been revealed.

Downey Jr is back in a leading role, and it was the actor who premiered the piece of artwork on his Twitter account.

The poster sees him take centre stage, in front of his on screen father Robert Duvall.

David Dobkin is back in the director's chair for the film, as he tackles his first drama project: he is best known for comedies such as Fred Claus and Wedding Crashers.

Dobkin has brought together a terrific cast, as Downey Jr and Duvall are joined by Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Billy Bob Thornton.

In The Judge, Downey stars as big city lawyer Hank Palmer, who returns to his childhood home where his estranged father, the town’s judge (Duvall), is suspected of murder.

He sets out to discover the truth and along the way reconnects with the family he walked away from years before.

The Judge is set to open the Toronto Film Festival next week, and we will only have to wait until October to see the movie.

The Judge is released 17th October.
