Boldly breaking the usual rule of putting out posters before the trailer arrives, American Assassin has premiered some character imagery in the wake of last month's first footage. You can find them in the gallery below.

With Michael Cuesta in the director's chair, the first film of what is a planned series based on Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp's novels adapts Flynn's 2010 tome, spinning the clock back to Rapp's (Dylan O'Brien) early days at the CIA. Actually, even before that: he's discovered after the woman he loves is killed during a terrorist attack. Sworn to destroy the people responsible, he's recruited by the agency, which thinks it can channel his tendencies into becoming a killer for the government.

To see if he's truly got what it takes, he'll need a little seasoning from grizzled Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton). And they'll both be taking on a new threat from a rogue agent played by Taylor Kitsch boasting violent plans of his own. With Sanaa Lathan, Scott Adkins and Shiva Negar also in the cast, American Assassin is out in the UK on 15 September.
