The Elton John biopic Rocketman, has cast Tom Hardy in the lead as the music icon himself. The movie's set to start shooting this year and is supposed to be an old-fashioned birth to present day kind of biography, as well as a musical extravaganza (Elton's supposedly re-recording a lot of his own hits for this, so I guess that means we won't be hearing whether Tom Hardy can sing). What do you think? Is he good casting for this? He's probably best known for Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, so he'll be totally unrecognizable from that, but he's already shown he can do all kinds of things (Inception, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Warrior). I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
