Tom Felton stars as Kevin, a member of a Satanic club, in the new action-horror film ‘They Will Kill You’, directed by Kirill Sokolov. The cast also includes Zazie Beetz, Myha’la and Patricia Arquette, and the film was released in theatres on March 27.
Describing his character, Tom Felton said Kevin is a “fragile warrior.” He explained that Kevin was once a highly successful banker in London who, after a brief stint in New York, became greedy and ultimately fell from grace.
In Felton’s view, Kevin sees himself as a James Bond figure but falls short of MI5 standards. Kevin’s encounter with the mysterious Virgil building and its occult establishment drives his quest to reclaim power.
Tom Felton also spoke about the film’s unique script, co-written by Kirill Sokolov and Alex Litvak. He said it was difficult to categorise, blending horror, thriller, suspense, family dynamics and Satanic cult elements in a way he had never seen before. He added that the script’s unpredictability and complexity made the role irresistible.
They Will Kill You explores dark, multifaceted themes while delivering action, suspense, and psychological tension, anchored by Felton’s portrayal of a morally conflicted antihero.
