Fiction

Harry Potter’s wild black hair is gone in this first image of Daniel Radcliffe in his next role — an undercover FBI agent in Imperium.

Sporting a long-sleeved camouflage shirt, a grim expression, and closely buzzed hair in this first image, Radcliffe stars as Nate Foster, an FBI analyst who infiltrates a group of neo-Nazis trying to construct a dirty bomb.

Imperium is based on the experiences of former FBI agent Michael German, and it begins production this week near Richmond, Virginia. Daniel Ragussis co-wrote the script with German and will make his feature directorial debut helming the thriller. Check out the first photo below.

Most recently Radcliffe had a very small, self-aware role in Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck this summer; he will appear next as Igor in director Paul McGuigan’s Victor Frankenstein, opposite James McAvoy in the title role, this November.
