Harry Potter star Tom Felton lands major new movie role with Joker star
Felton joins Zazie Beetz and Patricia Arquette in They Will Kill You.
Harry Potter's Tom Felton has landed his next big film role, with the actor joining Joker's Zazie Beetz in upcoming thriller They Will Kill You.
The new film will centre on Beetz's character, who answers an advertisement for a housekeeper in a New York City high-rise - but what she doesn't realise is that, actually, she's about to enter into a community that's seen a large number of disappearances over the years.
Could it be under the grip of a satanic cult? Quite possibly.
Alongside Felton, Severance's Patricia Arquette has also been cast as one of the leads of the film alongside Beetz, and will star as the head of the co-op.
According to sources (via The Hollywood Reporter), Felton will feature as a member of the cult.
