Tom Hanks returns as symbologist Robert Langdon in the new trailer for the film Inferno.

The Oscar winner reprises the role to unlock more mysterious codes in the film version of Dan Brown's thriller.

The film focuses on the Divine Comedy, the masterpiece by the Italian poet Dante and starts off in Italy where Langdon follows a trail of clues in a race to foil a deadly plot.

This time he is joined by doctor Sienna Brooks, played by British actress Felicity Jones, on the quest.

Ron Howard, who previously directed the film adaptations of The Da Vinci Code as well as Brown's Angels And Demons, returns to the director's seat for the film, which is scheduled for release in October.
