The film stars Mr Robot's Rami Malek as the Queen frontman
A new trailer has been released for Bohemian Rhapsody, the musical drama about British rock band Queen from Bryan Singer (X-Men).
The latest footage shows more of Rami Malek as lead singer Freddie Mercury, as well as Queen (whose other members are played in the film by Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy and Joseph Mazzello) in the studio performing hits such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'We Will Rock You'.
Whereas the first teaser received criticism from Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller for 'hiding' Freddie Mercury's sexuality, the new trailer more explicitly shows the bisexual singer in a relationship with a man.
Bohemian Rhapsody will be out in the UK and Ireland this year on October 24. While shooting, director Bryan Singer was fired from the movie which The Hollywood Reporter attributed to clashes between the filmmaker and star Rami Malek.

Despite Dexter Fletcher (Sunshine on Leith) being brought on to shoot the film in Singer's absence, the X-Men helmer will still receive a sole directing credit.
