Dylan O’Brien shed his Stiles Stilinski persona from “Teen Wolf” and gave life to Central Intelligence Agency agent Mitch Rapp in the newest teaser photo for the upcoming movie “American Assassin”.

Dylan will be taking on the role of a Central Intelligence Agency black ops recruit called Mitch Rapp. A first look image of O’Brien has been released and shows a very different side to the young actor.
Directed by “Kill the Messenger” helmer Michael Cuesta, the upcoming action film also stars Michael Keaton, Taylor Kitsch and Sanaa Lathan. American Assassin is based on Vince Flynn’s best-selling novel and follows Mitch Rapp, a counter-terrorism agent who is under the construction of Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton). From there, the duo is enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) to investigate what appears to be a series of random attacks on military and civilian targets. Mitch is pointing a gun at the unlucky enemy whilst showing a slicked back hair style and rather bulging muscles. The photo of O’Brien as Rapp was posted on the movie’s official Twitter account on Monday, Sept. 12.
Yep, you do not want to f*ck with this guy (and damn, DOB looks good).
This is the first time we’ve seen Dylan on a set since his accident while filming “The Maze Runner: The Death Cure” back in March. Although Dylan has spent the past few months recovering from the awful incident, it seems that he is slowly getting back on track and in to action!
Teen Wolf’s O’Brien snagged the role during the spring, and European filming began earlier this month.
