After "The Girl in the Spider's Web," Claes Bang had the starring role in Giuseppe Capotondi's crime thriller "The Burnt Orange Heresy." It's another film based on a book of the same name and, similarly to "The Square," it deals with drama in the art world.

Bang portrays James Figueras, an art critic who is down on his luck. His only way out is seemingly when art dealer Joseph Cassidy (Mick Jagger) hires James to steal a painting (via IMDb). Alongside Bang and Jagger, "The Burnt Orange Heresy" stars Elizabeth Debicki, Donald Sutherland, and Rosalind Halstead, among others.

Bang told HeyUGuys that it wasn't in his plan to take on another film set in the art world, but it was the script that attracted him to the role. Specifically, his unusual romantic dynamic with Debicki's character Berenice was of major interest: "Those games they're playing with each other all the time... That was the first thing. I just thought: 'This is so cool. I want to do this,'" he said.
