Take a look at who we think could play some of the seminal figures in Freddie Mercury's life with Queen and beyond in the upcoming movie.
![Bruno Mars as Michael Jackson: While we don't know if he truly has the acting chops, the massive star certainly bares a resemblance to MJ in his 70s and 80s days, and It's clear to see that he's got the moves to pull it off. Only a screen test would tell if he could harness the identity of a truly one of a kind individual, though.]()

![Adam Lambert as Adam Lambert: Just in case they decide to incorporate a Back To The Future angle to spice up the music biopic, we think Lamber should play himself and perform his own stunts when he and Freddy battle it out for frontman privileges. This is a speculative exercise, no one said we couldn't play with the space-time continuum.]()

![Ezra Miller as John Deacon: Look, we're not saying we made this casting choice on hair style alone. There are other things to consider, like how Ezra Miller has made his career of off playing secondary characters well. In some ways, playing bass is like the secondary character of a band.]()

![James Franco as Bono: For the infamous run in with Freddie at Live Aid, we've opted for James Franco to play the U2 frontman. Franco's talents are probably better saved for a Jeff Buckley or Jim Morrison biopic, but who says he can't moonlight as a throwaway Bono? His accent doesn't even need to be that good.]()

![Tilda Swinton as David Bowie: If you need convincing that this is a spot-on casting decision, just check out the video for 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)'. We're holding out for a note for note recreation of 'Under Pressure' using the actors' voices.]()

![Tobey Maguire as Bill Reid: There's an air of mystery that sounds Freddie Mercury's ex-lover. Tobey Maguire would fit this role for two reasons, his career is still mysteriously flourishing and he has what my Mum would call, a kind face which he'll need considering the compassionate role Reid played in the Queen story.]()

![Isaac Newton as Brian May: Revisiting the time travel concept, we figured that since our casting decisions will probably end in a complete massacring of the Queen legacy, we should do something absolute amazing to get people in those cinema seats and money in our pockets. Punters are going to see a film casted by the people who brought Isaac Newton back from the dead.]()

![But seriously - Aidan Turner as Brian May: The star of The Hobbit, Poldark and Being Human does have somewhat of a resemblance to Mr May, and we don't doubt his ability to grow out a perm and put on an impressive English accent. He certainly has the intensity to play the space and badger-loving guitar hero.]()
