'Bohemian Rhapsody': New trailer gives glimpses of Freddie Mercury's sexuality and hints at his death from AIDS

Rami Malek authentically depicts Freddie's struggle as he tries to live by the rules of the world while hiding his sexuality behind his garb as a rockstar.
UPDATED JUL 19, 2018

The second trailer of 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' unlike the previous one, gives a glimpse into Queen frontman Freddie Mercury's sexuality, his rise as one of the most recognized voices in rock music, and his death due to complications from AIDS.

Rami Malek, who plays Mercury, nails the part with his buck teeth, thick moustache, and long black locks. 

The film, scheduled to hit the screens on November 2, apart from documenting the travails of Mercury follows the band's sky-high ride from just experimenting with music to becoming one of the most popular names in the history of rock music.

The trailer gives a brief insight into the making of one of the band's most brilliant pieces, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', where Rami (as Freddie Mercury) is seen directing Ben Hardy (who plays drummer Roger Taylor). Ben continues to sing the operatic version, while Rami keeps asking him to continue with "Galileo" until Ben finally exclaims, "How many more Galileos do you want?". However, Rami brushes this off in typical Mercury fashion when he casually retorts, "Roger, there is only place for one hysterical queen."
