If there's one thing that marks out Daniel Radliffe's post-Harry Potter career, it's his refusal to be typecast. The movies that he's starred in since the final Potter film have ranged from the acclaimed arthouse drama Kill Your Darlings to the recent horror thriller Victor Frankenstein, and have displayed a willingness to try out a wide range of roles. Nothing is quite as strange as his latest film Swiss Army Man however, in which the former boy wizard plays, er, a corpse with major flatulence. Watch the trailer below:

Swiss Army Man co-stars Paul Dano and comes from music video directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan. It focuses on Dano's character Hank, who discovers Radcliffe's corpse while he is marooned on a desert island. Hank decides to use the body to get back to civilization, but soon discovers that despite his appearance, he might not be entirely dead.

The movie premiered at the Sundance Film festival in January, where it divided critics and audiences. There were reportedly walk-outs from screenings, but also positive reviews from the likes of Screen Daily and THR.

Swiss Army Man releases on June 17, 2016.
