In addition to this upcoming role, the Inception actor has also made a name for himself with his characters in similar period crime dramas like Legend and Peaky Blinders, not to mention one of his most iconic roles as a similarly notorious British gangster Charles Bronson in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Bronson.
In addition to Hardy, the Fantastic Four director has also enlisted the acting chops of Matt Dillon, Linda Cardellini, and Twin Peaks’ star Kyle McLachlan.
The prospect of Tom Hardy stepping in to play the role of Al Capone for Josh Trank’s Fonzo is particularly intriguing when we consider the fact that he has a history of portraying silver screen gangsters.
