The first poster for The Butler has been revealed.

The movie will see Forest Whitaker return to the big screen to play Cecil Gaines who served eight presidents as the White House's head butler.

The first poster was released by The Huffington Post and features only Oscar winner Whitaker.

The movie sees Lee Daniels return to the director's chair while John Cusack, Robin Williams, Alan Rickman, James Marsden and Liev Schreiber are all also on the cast list playing various Presidents of the United States.

The awards season is still months away but The Butler is already being one of the movies to watch out for at the end of the year as it could well be a major player.

As for Whitaker this is one of many roles that we will be seeing him in as he has finished work on Zulu, Out of the Furnace and Black Nativity.
