Queen fans will be delighted with this first look at the upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody. The first photo release sees actor Rami Malek channelling the late great frontman rather well. Perhaps its good photography or a great angle, but it must be said, the Mr Robot star’s resemblance to Freddie Mercury is downright uncanny. Bohemian Rhapsody is being directed by Bryan Singer and is set for release on December 25, 2018.
