Watch Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones Try to Stop Human Extinction in New 'Inferno' Trailer (Video)

In the new trailer for “Inferno,” Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones try to uncover a deadly plague that has the potential to wipe out half of the world’s population.

The trailer reveals new footage showing professor Robert Langdon (Hanks) being briefed on a situation, analyzing the map of Dante’s Hell and traveling to Florence to find the death mask of Dante Alighieri. The problem is, it seems that someone stole the mask — and that someone is Langdon.

Hanks and Jones star in the third movie based on Dan Brown‘s series of novels, following “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels & Demons.”

“Once again, Ron Howard really delivered. This movie will be a huge global event.”

The Evolution of Tom Hanks' Hair: From 'Bosom Buddies' to 'Da Vinci Code'

Tom Hanks' wavy mullet was something of an obsession for the actor as he embarked on the first installment in the "Da Vinci Code" series. In honor of the film's 10-year anniversary, take a look back at the Oscar winner's coif chronology.
Columbia Pictures
When Hanks wasn't showing off his real brown locks on the early 1980s sitcom "Bosom Buddies," he donned a woman's wig during his cross-dressing scenes with co-star Peter Scolari. (The ABC show revolved around two bachelors who dress as women in order to secure an affordable apartment.)
ABC/Paramount Television
Hanks' hair is his thing, dating back to his breakout film role in the hit 1984 romantic comedy "Splash." Just look at how Daryl Hannah (who played the mermaid Madison) is combing her fingers through it!
Disney
Apparently studio execs were banking on Hanks' curly mop: This publicity photo for the raunchy 1984 comedy "Bachelor Party" has another woman running her fingers through his locks.
20th Century Fox
Hanks' hair seemed to reach peak condition in the hit 1988 Penny Marshall comedy "Big."
20th Century Fox
Hanks' hair was slicked back in some scenes for the 1990 dramatic comedy "The Bonfire of the Vanities."
Warner Bros.
Hanks played a lawyer afflicted with HIV-AIDS in the 1993 drama "Philadelphia," for which he won his first Academy Award. And yes, his hair reflected such as he depicted various stages of his character's illness in the film.
TriStar Pictures
Hanks wore his hair closely cropped during most of 1994's "Forrest Gump," which won six Oscars, including the actor's second win in the Best Actor category.
Paramount Pictures
But he also wore a long-haired look, complete with impenetrable beard, during the the film's famous running sequence set in the 1970s.
Paramount Pictures
Who can forget Hanks' blonde permed look in the 2000 drama "Castaway" (in which he re-teamed with Zemeckis)?
20th Century Fox
His hair was styled quite fancifully in the 2004 Coen Brothers comedy "The Ladykillers."
Disney
To achieve the perfect coiffure for "The Da Vinci Code," Hanks thought really hard about it: "[I wanted it] fuller in the back and falling down across my forehead," he shared in a 2006 interview. "But the truth is my hair cannot be long and flowing -- genetically, it doesn't do that. It's a bush... We talked about a wig, but that ends up taking a huge amount of time. So I went to these guys who know about hair chemistry and found a way." Science.
Columbia Pictures
And the winner for most styles worn by Hanks in a single movie goes to: 2012's "Cloud Atlas."
Warner Bros.
When Hanks reprised his "Da Vinci" role as Robert Langdon for a third time in "Inferno" (in theaters Oct. 28), he ditched the party in the back, opting for a smoothed-out, shorter version. Good choice.
