Coen brothers'
No Country for Old Men (2007). All four films were critically acclaimed. In 2019, he played
Ty Carter in the war drama film
The Outpost. In 2023, he portrayed the lead role in
Luc Besson’s action thriller film
Dogman. Besson praised Jones's transformative performance and expressed his fascination with the actor. This inspired Besson to cast Jones as the
eponymous character in
Dracula (2025). Besson was not particularly interested in the story of Dracula, but instead reimagined the film specifically around Jones.
