After completing the third season of The CW superhero drama series
The Flash, Tom Felton already lined up his new role, in the Hamlet spinoff film
Ophelia, in which he will play Shakespearean character Laertes.
Quote:
Daisy Ridley and Naomi Watts’ Ophelia has found its Hamlet — and more. Captain Fantastic‘s George MacKay has joined the reimagining of Shakespeare’s famed tragedy playing the Prince of Denmark. Clive Owen (Claudius), Harry Potter‘s Tom Felton (Laertes) and Devon Terrell (Horatio) have also boarded the Covert Media-produced pic, which was set up at Cannes 2016, is being directed by Claire McCarthy and begins principal photography this month in Prague.
The
Harry Potter actor's next feature, the biopic Megan Leavey, hits theaters this June.
