Capone trailer features Tom Hardy portraying the notorious gangster in the last year of his life

Tom Hardy takes on the iconic larger-than-life persona of notorious gangster Al Capone in the new trailer for Capone from director Josh Trank.

The filmmaker posted the new trailer on Twitter Wednesday, revealing that it will be released on May 12, while adding, ‘Different title. My cut,’ referring to the film’s original title, Fonzo.

The biopic tells the ‘untold story’ of the final chapter of Capone’s life, after his release from an 11-year prison stint when he suffers from dementia.

The trailer begins with Capone slowly shuffling through a nightclub, as an announcer says, ‘How ’bout it for our good friend Al, ladies and gentlemen?”

Capone takes the stage, cigar in mouth, confused, as we then see shots from earlier in his days as a ruthless gangster in Chicago.

But then the trailer cuts to Capone smoking a cigar outside in his lavish Florida estate after his release from prison.
