      Daniel Radcliffe has been beloved for years for his portrayal of Harry Potter within the multi-billion dollar franchise, but as of late he’s chosen some different roles to get him away from the wizarding world. Whether it’s his new indie hit, Swiss Army Man alongside Paul Dano or this upcoming film titled, Imperium in which he plays a skinhead. Potter as a skinhead sounds crazy and it is, but it’s not as American History X-ish as you think.

            The role is sure to be controversial as Radcliffe’s character is actually Nate Foster, an undercover FBI agent. His mission is to infiltrate a gang of White Supremacists in order to prevent a domestic terror attack, but by the looks of this trailer, the chaos has already commenced. It’s for sure an interesting role for Radcliffe, and I’m looking forward to seeing this one.

Check out the trailer for Imperium below. The film also stars Toni Collette and Tracy Letts and will be in theaters on August 19^th.
