Freddie is the hardest member to copy, the rest are easy.
Dont think the guy acting like Freddie got it right though and they are steering away from Freddies gay life style and almost insisting that he dated girls more which is wrong.
Mercury had 99% more male lovers than female.

Invisible Woman
The fact is that Freddie was gay (or bisexual if some prefer this word) and it's not right if they ignore that part of his life in "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie.
His relationship with Mary was used for years and years in newspapers, books, documentaries to cover his real private life. Even still today. No wonder that they chose relationship with her for central theme about his private life in movie.
But we still don't know what the movie will be like. Maybe will not completely ignore that part of Freddie's private life in movie.

To be fair we don't know that yet, there's a listing on IMDB for Freddie's lover - male besides Jim Hutton in the cast, and there's some sort of leather fetish at mineshaft & houseparty thing listed. They've also used a small & tall agency (Dwarf actors) so I don't think it's going to be a complete whitewash. I think the media made that out based on it showing him with Mary in the trailer, they like clickbait.

Vocal harmony
The problem is some people are film critics without having seen the film.
Mary played a huge part in Freddie's early years ( around the formation of Queen and the first couple of albums) As has been told many times in interviews and documentaries. She played a constant part in his life after they split right up until November 1991. So any film about any period in his life or the band's history will feature Mary Austin.
Also Freddie's sexuality and life style have been well documented, again in interviews and documentaries so there is no great secret in any of that. The film doesn't have to unearth every detail and every move Freddie made with everyone. Even if t only shows one wild party scene in the late 70's early 80's and mentions or shows one or two of his gay lovers or relationships then it would have done enough to explain who he was outside of being a musician and singer.
If some people are looking for 90 minutes of gay clubs and bath tub scenes it probably isn't going to be the film for you, and that is only a part of a much bigger story anyway.

Freddie was banging Barbara Valentin well into the 1980s.
Brian May is quoted saying he was taken by surprise by Freddie's bisexual lifestyle, which he noticed somewhere around 1975.
I think if this movie glosses over this to make it more PC by today's standards, then you're not telling the real story.

If a movie was about Neil Armstrong you could bet it would touch the subject about the Moon. Gay bath house ffs. Thats not what Im talking about but recognise who he really was. But hey lets wait till november then we can chat .

Michael scapp : Just because Freddie was supposedly at it with Barbara Valentin does not make him Bisexual, because he had hundreds of male lovers, especially in New York as Peter Freestone would confirm. Mercury preferred male lovers to female.
Jim Hutton was probably the closest Freddie ever came to finding true love with another guy.

@happystar Of course, you're right and I personally did not see anything interesting in this trailer. Whether it's Queen / Freddie artistically or personally. However, I noticed it's not worth discussing it here, as this place is full of hardcore fans, incapable of any objectivity whatsoever. Although that's just a tiny percentage of the viewing public and I can tell already this film won't have an easy ride if the trailer and first general reactions are anything to go by. Having said that, I'm quite happy to suspend my judgment until I actually see the whole movie. Let's just remember what Freddie said once - "the good and the bad" - that's how he wanted it.

happystar - Not that I care, but I do not agree. I am hetero, I have been with a few ladies before I was married. If, God forbid, I ended up waking up with some dude, you can throw my hetero label out with the trash. Freddie was enjoying both sexes, I believe right up until his HIV test results. He stated this himself -"I’m just an old slag who gets up every morning, scratches his head and wonders what he wants to fuck" But then again, who gives a shit. The bottom line is that every Queen fan in the USA will go and see this happily, the rest will seem to grumble and complain. Bryan Singer is an ass isn't he - already shitting on this trailer as not being gay enough. Of course hisstandard for gay enough = propositioning 15yo boys.
