Cicero (Tom Hardy Speaks)


  • CICERO

Tom Hardy has spoken to the Daily Mail about his upcoming role as Al Capone in Cicero.
Tom Hardy to Play Al Capone? What You Think?

Hardy will play the infamous gangster after he has finished shooting Mad Max: Fury Road.

He told Daily Mail: "I’ve been working with Warner Bros, watching their gangster films — the ones with James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson," naming The Petrified Forest, The Public Enemy and Little Caesar as examples.

"It’s interesting to get them, and a bit of Capone, into the bloodstream… The idea isn’t to remake those films but to get a flavour of them as we explore Capone’s career as a racketeer."

On the status of the movie (which is set to be directed by Harry Potter's David Yates), Hardy added: "The idea at the moment is of doing a trilogy of films, but nothing is set. Everyone is just talking and exploring."

Tom Hardy will next be seen in This Means War, before appearing as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.
