A new image of Tom Hardy in full Al Capone garb has been released from the upcoming biographical tale Fonzo. The movie focuses on an aging Capone as he returns from his 10-year prison stint and begins a long battle with dementia.
The aforementioned image shows a barely-recognizable Hardy sporting a thinning hairline and period-perfect suit, chomping down on the end of a fat cigar.

Hardy was first cast in the role of Al Capone back in 2016, but due to timing issues and the release of Sony’s Venom – of which he plays the starring role – Fonzo’s filming was delayed until this year.
There is as of yet no release date for the movie, which boasts Josh Trank as director as well as Linda Cardellini – Mad Men and Avengers: Age of Ultron – and Jack Lowden – Dunkirk – as Hardy’s costars.
