The first official teaser trailer for One Direction star Harry Styles’s first movie Dunkirk has dropped, but fans of the boy band star have been left disappointed as he does not feature in the clip.

Christopher Nolan’s epic Second World War film also stars Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh and Cillian Murphy along with newcomer Fionn Whitehead, none of whom appear in the teaser.

Fans of Harry, 22, have expressed their disappointment over his absence in the long-awaited “announcement video” on Twitter.

One fan asked: “Is it just me or was anyone else looking for Harry Styles during the #Dunkirk trailer?”

Another wrote: “But where is Harry Styles? I cannot be the only one mad about this #Dunkirk.”

There were plenty of memes shared on the social networking site too, including one that superimposed a picture of Harry’s face into the main scene of the clip.

The short, dialogue-free clip is tense and focuses on a crowded boat of soldiers ducking for cover as an enemy aircraft flies above.

Interstellar director Christopher’s latest big-screen venture tells the story of one of the most famous battles of the war, involving the British evacuation of the French city of Dunkirk in 1940.

Dunkirk is set for release in July 2017, when fans will hopefully finally get a chance to see Harry in action.
