Antebellum ’s first trailermade it obvious thatJanelle Monáe ’s Veronica Henley was designate to become mixed up in all types of wildly dangerous situations over the course of the moving-picture show . What was n’t clear was whether the antiblack dangers she was present were from the present day or whether , somehow , Veronica was literally dealing withpeople from the past tense .
The movie ’s new laggard does n’t exactly spell thing out explicitly , but it leans into the melodic theme that when Veronica ends up beingcaptured and enslaved in the past times , she ’s still aware of her life in the present day , which is what make her that much more driven to miss from and destroy her captors .
The trailer lay down it seem as if Antebellum might subsist in a similar narrative space to Octavia Butler ’s Kindred , but just as it looks like time traveling is the matter that ’s driving the story onward , what the characters say in the trailer suggest that whatever Veronica ’s dealing with might actually be set in the present 24-hour interval .
