Ben Whishaw could be donning Freddie Mercury's iconic yellow jacket and starring in a biopic about the Queen singer following Sacha Baron Cohen's departure from the project amid talk of fallings out with Queen's surviving members. One possible title that is being considered for the film is Bohemian Rhapsody, name-checking arguably the band's biggest and best-known song. Queen's drummer Roger Taylor tipped Whishaw to play Freddie Mercury two years ago, following Baron Cohen's exit from the movie.
