But the [new movie trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-eMt3SrfFU), which dropped Wednesday morning, has already made plenty of waves online: while the ensemble film stars plenty of veteran actors like [Tom Hardy](http://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/?iid=sr-link1), [Cillian Murphy](http://time.com/4393203/anthropoid-movie-jamie-dornan-cillian-murphy/?iid=sr-link1), and [Mark Rylance](http://time.com/4299682/mark-rylance-2016-time-100/?iid=sr-link1), it also features the beloved former One Direction [heartthrob Harry Styles.](http://time.com/4507965/harry-style-magazine-cover-photos/?iid=sr-link3) And his [rabid fandom](http://time.com/4136869/most-retweeted-tweets-2015/?iid=sr-link6) is very, very excited for the Brit’s big acting debut. Styles appears in three brief snippets in the dramatic, intense trailer, but eagle-eyed fans had no problem spotting his acting chops in the quick cuts. They also had no problem determining his future in the theatric arts: looking bright, if Twitter is to be believed.
