Seems like Tom Hardy likes historical roles. After playing a frontiersman in The Revenant, and a British soldier in Dunkirk, and an adventurer in 19. century London in TV series Taboo, now he plays mobster Al Capone in Josh Trank’s Fonzo.
At first mention of Tom Hardy and Al Capone, it seems that they have nothing in common, at least not in physical appearance. But Hardy will play the infamous mobster in his late years, following nearly a decade of imprisonment, as dementia rots his mind and his violent past comes back to haunt him.
Hardy already played the role of a mobster, actually two of them; twin brothers Reggie Kray and Ron Kray in 2015 movie Legend.
Below you can find a picture of Hardy’s Al Capone, as revealed on Hardy’s Instagram. The film also stars Matt Dillon, Kyle MacLachlan. A release date has not yet been set.
