The word on the street is that Tom Hardy is the favorite to land the role of Elton John in an upcoming movie biopic, according to reports.
It was previously reported that Justin Timberlake was the frontrunner for the lead role in biopic Rocketman, but Hitfix now reports that director Michael Gracey and executive producer Elton John are pursuing Hardy.
Hardy is a versatile actor and is best know for playing the villainous role of muscle-bound bad guy Bane in Christian Bale's last Batman movie, as well as a murderous criminal in 2008's Bronson.
