We've seen Oscar Isaac in blockbusters like the Star Wars franchise and sci-fi flicks including Ex Machina. His next project is a thriller called The Card Counter.

Like many projects, filming had begun but the production was halted. Things will pick up again in July. In addition to getting some movement, a first look photo of Isaac in character has been released (and he looks pissed):

Issac plays a former serviceman named William Tell, who has a penchant for gambling.

Gambling can be a dangerous game, but it sounds like there is a bigger threat at hand, that goes beyond money. Tell is approached by a young man named Cirk (Tye Sheridan), seeking revenge on a mutual enemy. Tell doesn't go along with the plan and opts out.

Instead, he takes the young man on a road trip as a distraction. They travel from casino to casino, with the plan to compete in the World Series of Poker. According to the description, Tell sees a chance at redemption by helping Cirk get past his grudge toward a former colonel.

If you click on the above tweet to see the full photo, you'll see that Tell is holding a gun. Possibly... he's changed his mind?

In addition to Isaac and Sheridan, viewers can look for Willem Dafoe and Tiffany Haddish.

There's no set premiere date, but filming is back on in July.

Is Oscar Isaac one of your go-to actors?
