Sacha Baron Cohen had been attached to play the rock icon, but he had some issues with the script, so he bailed.

Sunshine on Leith helmer Dexter Fletcher (also an actor who will next be seen in Muppets Most Wanted) is set to direct the project, a biopic overseen by Mercury’s bandmates Brian May and Roger Taylor.
