While we knew lots of people considered Margaret Thatcher to be less than friendly and, in some cases, somewhat evil, we never realised that she was actually an alien who sprouted weird tendrils from the side of her face… RRUUUN!!! Oh, wait. No. (Turns picture clockwise). That’s the Houses of Parliament. Never mind. Keep calm and carry on: it’s just the first poster for The Iron Lady, which you can see below.

In case you weren’t aware, Phyllida Lloyd’s film finds Meryl Streep playing Maggie as she takes stock of her life both personally and in politics. Now battling ill health and frustrated by retirement, she’s also haunted by the presence of dead hubby Denis.
We track her rise to power and the toll it took on her life – for all of her political triumphs, she made many enemies and was castigated for some of her decisions.
With the likes of Anthony Head, Jim Broadbent, Richard E Grant, Olivia Colman and Harry Lloyd among the cast, The Iron Lady will be out on January 6.
