Peacock has released the official trailer for their upcoming series adaptation of Dan Brown’s bestselling novel The Lost Symbol, which will center around the origins of Robert Langdon, a character previously portrayed by Oscar winner Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci Code film trilogy. The video introduces us to the young version of Langdon, which is being played by Ashley Zukerman, who is a college professor lecturing his students about symbols used throughout history. It also features the titular symbologist as he gets involved in a kidnapping case in which he must locate an ancient portal hidden within the Capitol in order to save his mentor’s life.
