The makers of the upcoming thriller film Hypnotic, starring Ben Affleck in the lead role, released the first look poster of the film on Friday through Screenrant. The film is directed by Robert Rodriguez and has a screenplay written by Rodriguez and Max Borenstein (Godzilla vs. Kong).

The first-look poster features Ben Affleck in the middle of a maze. Affleck plays a detective searching for his lost daughter while investigating a series of inexplicable crimes in the film. The daughter's disappearance is somehow involved with a secret government program. 

Hypnotic also stars Alice Braga, JD Pardo, Hala Finley, Dayo Okeniyi, Jeff Fahey, Jackie Earle Haley and William Fichtner, among others. 

A work-in-progress cut of the film was previously screened at the SXSW Film Festival on March 12, and the film is preparing for its theatrical release on May 12. 

Meanwhile, Ben Affleck's last outing was Air, in which he was directed and played a prominent role, along with Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman, Chris Tucker and Chris Messina. He will also reprise his role as Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) in The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which will release in June and December, respectively.
