The Freddie Mercury biopic BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has had an interesting journey, as at one point BORAT star Sacha Baron Cohen was pushing to play Mercury, but the role eventually went to Rami Malek. Bryan Singer was the original director, but thanks to controversial sexual allegations, he was removed and replaced with Dexter Fletcher. Today we get a new look at the film, which like the first trailer looks rather great. Aside from Rami Malik, the cast also includes Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Aiden Gillen, Tom Hollander, and Mike Myers. Take a look at the final trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
