Alexander Skarsgård to take 'all sorts of virginities' from Harry Potter star in upcoming x-rated movie

The upcoming X-rated movie starring Alexander Skarsgård could not be further from the story of Harry Potter

There are plenty of X-rated movies and TV shows on the market.

From raunchy rom-com No Hard Feelings to a Netflix show about a literal adult star, there's no shortage of risqué material out there - if you fancy it, of course.

To be honest, Harry Potter and 50 Shades of Grey don't exactly seem like parallel franchises - but an actor from the former franchise is taking a shot at the genre.

Harry Melling, who is best known for playing Dudley Dursley in the Wizarding World, is set to become a '24/7 submissive' to Alexander Skarsgård in the upcoming movie Pillion.

Of course, one of Skarsgård's most memorable role was Eric Northman from True Blood, so an X-rated movie is likely to be a walk in the park.

Dubbed as a 'fun and filthy' romance, Melling starts as Colin in the upcoming movie, who is described as 'a weedy wallflower letting life pass him by', as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

But his life is well and truly turned upside down when he meets Ray (Skarsgård), the handsome leader of a motorcycle gang, and leaves his suburban life to enter an unknown world of queer, kinky bikers.

On top of that, they are apparently 'taking all sorts of virginities along the way', too.

But as Colin becomes deeply involved in Ray's world of 'rules and mysteries', he begins to question 'whether the life of a 24/7 submissive is for him'.

"Has he found his calling, or simply swapped one form of suffocation for another?" the press release says.

Pillion sees a feature-film debut for director Harry Lighton, who also wrote the script.

Lighton had previously directed the short film Wren Boys, which earned him a BAFTA nomination in 2018.

Pillion is being produced by Element Pictures and distributed by Cornerstone, while funding is being received from BBC Film and the British Film Institute.

Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder of Cornerstone said in a statement: "Harry’s script is equally compelling and shocking as it is funny and entertaining — and one of the best we’ve read in years.

"The casting is inspired, and we are thrilled to unleash this brilliant project in the Cannes market."

Despite doing other films since Harry Potter, Melling has acknowledged the 'generational power' that the franchise has had on his career - which he says is 'always going to be there'.

Speaking to NME, The Queen's Gambit star said: "My friends have kids now who are [into the books] and they're like: 'Uncle Harry's Dudley!' If someone mentions Harry Potter to me then of course it's something that I'll engage with.

"It does feel like that narrative's changing though, which is great."

He added: "I would just like the conversation to be about what I'm doing now as opposed to something I did when I was 10."
