First look at Rami Malek as Freddie in Bohemian Rhapsody!

The Mr. Robot star is preparing to play Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody (out Dec. 25, 2018), the Bryan Singer-directed film that chronicles Queen from 1970, when Mercury teamed with Brian May and Roger Taylor, until the band’s performance at Live Aid in 1985, six years before the singer died of complications from AIDS. Malek channels Mer­cury’s look from that global-­concert event.

If nothing else, at least it seems like the movie is going to look accurate (the actors playing the rest of the band also look eerily like their real life counterparts). And Rami Malek is a good actor, so I'm feeling quite hopeful.

Freddie was such a complex character, I feel it is impossible to portray him accurately!
