Wait, what? Didn’t the Bohemian Rhapsody movie end with a recap of Freddie Mercury’s last years and then his death? But now they are thinking about a BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY 2? Well the rumors are spreading and right from Queen guitarist Brian May. He’s been sharing the first mentions of a sequel to the Oscar-winning biopic based on Freddie Mercury.
Bohemian Rhapsody told the epic story of the band Queen, how they got together, how their front man Freddie Mercury joined the band and the legacy he left behind him after his death in 1991.
The original movie covered the band’s beginnings and how Freddie joined and took us along the ride of Queen building its legacy. The film has made almost $1 billion and fans (and movie execs) have been wanting more. But the question is, what more could be told?
In a recent interview mainly focusing on his new album, Brian May let go of some of the first details about what is happening on the sequel scenes.
“We are looking at it. Yeah, we have been looking at ideas,” May stated during a recent Instagram live interview when asked about the sequel. When asked about the first movie, its success, and a sequel, he elaborated, “We put a lot of heart and soul into making [the first movie], and no one could have predicted [its success] as it was bigger than Gone With The Wind. But, yes, we are thinking maybe [a sequel] could happen, but it would have to be a great script. It’s going to take a while to figure that out.”
But this is actually not the first time a sequel has been mentioned. Shortly after the film was released, conversations stirred around the 1985 Live Aid performance ending and May said at that time, “I think Live Aid is a good point to leave it. Who knows, there might be a sequel.”
So would that be the starting point of the movie? Would Rami Malek be back on board? The original 2018 film won two BAFTAs and four Academy Awards, one for Malek’s portrayal of Freddie. We’re thinking he might be on board to do it all again.
If it did pick up with Live Aid in 1985 and Mercury passed away in 1991, would the movie continue and incorporate the band’s continuation songs with its new leading man, Adam Lambert? Would Lambert play himself and not the trucker at the rest stop?
Instincters, what do you think? Should there be a Bonemian Rhapsody 2? Should it come up to present day or just still focus on Freddie?

It was an awesome movie. So much like Freddie you almost forgot he wasn’t. Love all the cast and would hope they would all be in the second movie. I’d like to see more about John, Roger and Brian’s life too
I’d like a sequel too but, I’d like to call it Queen! I’d put Adam Lambert in it to move the story along into the present day. The tribute concert could play a great part in the movie also! They could also tell about Mary and her journey after he died to wrap up their love and friendship story. The band’s accomplishments since he passed and they have stayed together because of their close friendship and love of playing together after all these years and they are still very successful!

BR accomplished introducing a new generation to Queen and re-inspiring long-time fans. I can’t think any sequel could have that impact again. It did not really do justice to Freddie as a man or as a musician, but a great movie could be made about the band and their incredible music with honest and serious portrayals of each of them. Let’s hope if there is a sequel that’s the direction they choose.
I hope there is a number 2 and I don’t know how anyone could play Freddy the way that Rami Malek did. It wouldn’t be the same with someone else playing that part. Get Rami Malek for number 2 and you have another hit movie
Whatever they do I hope they cast someone other than that bug eye looking freak Rami Malek. Freddie is spinning like a tornado in his grave for having that anorexic reject play him!

I actually thought I was watching a man with a horse head playing Freddie! Realistic! 🙄
