The Infiltrator tells the true-life story of US Customs agent Mazur who went undercover in the Eighties as hotshot money launderer "Bob Musella" in an attempt to bring down the cartel of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Based on the agent's autobiography of the same name, the film reunites Cranston with The Lincoln Lawyer director Brad Furman.
For the film, Cranston is joined by an eclectic supporting cast including Diane Kruger, John Leguizamo, Amy Ryan and Olympia Dukakis.
Another anticipated performance from the Trumbo actor is that of President Lyndon B. Johnson in HBO film All the Way, a small screen adaptation of the play he won a Tony award for in 2014.
The Infiltrator will be released in the US on 15 July; there is currently no word on a UK release date.
