The cast list is completed by Jesse Plemons, Sienna Miller, Kevin Bacon, Juno Temple, and Dakota Johnson.

Black Mass follows the true story of Billy Bulger, Whitey Bulger, FBI agent John Connelly and the FBI's witness protection program that was created by J. Edgar Hoover.

Black Mass is released 18th September 2015, however, no UK release date has been announced.
