Tom Hardy has revealed his first photo as Al Capone in Fonzo, the upcoming biopic about the notorious Chicago gangster.
And if Venom wasn’t high-profile enough, Hardy stepped up his game even more last October when news broke that he was playing Capone for director Josh Trank.
Just from the first-look photo alone, Fonzo appears to be yet another transformative role for Hardy, much in the way he channeled intense, violent energy into his frightening turn as John Fitzgerald opposite Leonard DiCaprio in The Revenant.
While no release date is attached to Fonzo yet, it will be interesting to see how soon the independent production picks up a U.S. distributor and whether the film will be ready in time for awards season in the fall.
