A movie about Freddie Mercury and Queen was first announced in 2010. Sacha Baron Cohen was set to play Mercury but he ultimately left the project in 2013 over creative disputes but left on good terms with the band. Ben Wishaw was mentioned as a possible replacement, then Rami Malek was hired to play Mercury.
Bohemian Rhapsody is set to be released in late 2018. Ben Hardy will play Roger Taylor, Gwilym Lee will play Brian May, and Joseph Mazzello will play bass guitarist John Deacon. The film will focus on the 15-year period from the formation of Queen to Freddie Mercury’s personal life.
