Here’s a first look at Jude Law as Russia’s Vladimir Putin in the new film, The Wizard of the Kremlin.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: In the chaos of post-Soviet Russia, rising KGB officer Vladimir Putin (Law) joins forces with master manipulator Vadim Baranov (Paul Dano) to reshape life behind the Iron Curtain, using violence and deception to change the world forever. Putin and Baranov’s reign of chaos begins with lies and corruption, and quickly escalates to assassinations, tyranny, and eventually all-out war.

Alicia Vikander, Tom Sturridge, Will Keen, and Jeffrey Wright also star in the film, set to hit theaters on May 15.

Jude previously spoke about not fearing any repercussions for his role as the President of Russia.

“I hope not naively, but I didn’t fear repercussions. I felt confident, in the hands of [director Olivier Assayas] and the script, that this story was going to be told intelligently and with nuance and consideration. We weren’t looking for controversy for controversy’s sake. It’s a character in a broader story. We weren’t trying to define anything about anyone,” Jude told Variety.
