Johnny Depp is nearly unrecognizable in the newest trailer for his upcoming movie, "Black Mass."
The actor is set to play the role of Boston crime head Whitey Bulger alongside Kevin Bacon and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Set in the 1970s, "Black Mass" tells the story of Bulger and how he was able to maintain a criminal empire for decades, sometimes with the help of the FBI, according to Deadline.
In the teaser, Depp, a convicted murderer who was currently in prison, could be heard discussing his plans and threatening to take down the enemy.
The two-minute clip originally posted on YouTube by MOVIECLIPS Trailers has already received more than 100,000 views.

Another person @Apollo B. wrote, "This what I'm talking about Depp!! Fucc all that goofy Mortdecai, Lone Ranger shit. These are the type of roles we love you in."
YouTube user @Nerds For Hire added, "I can't remember the last time I wanted to see a Johnny Depp led film in theaters... I hope this doesn't disappoint like 'Public Enemy's.'"
@Kronos wrote, "Gonna win an Oscar for sure. With this cast, premise and budget, you can't go wrong."
Produced under Warner Bros., "Black Mass" is written by Jez Butterworth and Mark Mallouk and directed by "Crazy Heart's" Scott Cooper.
The film also stars Joel Edgerton, Jesse Plemons and Sienna Miller and is slated for release in theaters in the U.S. on Sept. 18.
