New Black Mass Posters Show It Isn't Just A Johnny Depp Film

Eight awesome new character banners revealed.

Black Mass has some serious pedigree behind it. And I'm not just talking about a balding, stocky completely unrecognizable Johnny Depp in the role of notorious gangster Jimmy Bulger, but also the stellar supporting cast. It's easy in the midst of Depp's transformation to forget, but Scott Cooper's Boston-set film has amassed a killer collection of talent both new and old. Everybody knows just just how good Kevin Bacon, Joel Edgerton and Benedict Cumberbatch can be, but more excitingly the film's giving major roles to Fargo's Jesse Plemons and 50 Shade's sole redeeming quality, Dakota Johnson. Over the past year both performers have displayed magnetism and charisma on a smaller scale, but Black Mass offers them the chance to step outside the realms of TV and Christian Grey's Red Room respectively and play ball with some award season titans. Just lay off the BASTIN-OYRISH accents guys and you'll be fine. If you still think this is just the Johnny Depp show, we invite you to check out these eight new posters released by Warner Bros. that celebrate the movie's eclectic range of onscreen talent Black Mass also stars Peter Sarsgaard and Corey Stoll. It hits UK cinemas November 27th.
