Barry Keoghan has firmly established himself as one of the most compelling actors of his generation, and his latest role in CRIME 101 places him squarely alongside Hollywood’s elite. The Irish actor stars in this crime action thriller opposite Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, trading the gritty streets of Dublin for a high-stakes world of heists and hardboiled detectives. Keoghan plays Orman, a rival thief whose methods skew toward the disturbing, setting him on a collision course with Hemsworth’s Davis during a planned heist. On the opposite side of the law, Ruffalo’s Detective Lou Lubesnick is determined to bring both criminals down, creating a tense cat-and-mouse game that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
The trailer dropped on Thursday and immediately generated buzz, with fans expressing genuine excitement about the star-studded cast. One viewer noted that the combination of A-list actors who clearly enjoy working together was reason enough to buy a ticket, while another simply stated this was a movie they were actually interested in seeing. Directed by Bart Layton and adapted from Don Winslow’s novella of the same name, CRIME 101 showcases Keoghan’s range as he continues to choose projects that challenge him and expand his profile. For the role, he debuted a dramatic blonde look that coincided with his split from Sabrina Carpenter, a change that sparked plenty of conversation even if not everyone was convinced by the new style.
But CRIME 101 is just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable year for the Dubliner. Keoghan will next appear in the highly anticipated Beatles biopics, starring alongside fellow Irishman Paul Mescal, BABYGIRL’s Harris Dickinson, and STRANGER THINGS actor Joseph Quinn. The project will see the four actors bringing the legendary band to life across separate films, each focusing on a different Beatle. It’s a role that will demand both musical and dramatic chops, and if Keoghan’s recent work is any indication, he’s more than ready for the challenge. From rubbing shoulders with Marvel superheroes to embodying one of music’s most iconic figures, Keoghan’s trajectory shows no signs of slowing down, and audiences are here for every moment of it.
