Dominic Cooper is reportedly being lined up to take on the role of Freddie Mercury in a new biopic film.

Sacha Baron Cohen was originally on board to take on the role, but dropped out of the film earlier this year.

But the Latino Review has reported that Cooper is now being lined up to replace him.

The movie is set to chronicle the years leading up to Queen's iconic appearance at Live Aid.

Cooper is just the latest name that has been linked to the film after it was reported that Daniel Radcliffe was set to land the role.

But Radcliffe denied the rumours saying that he would be totally wrong for this role.

It has been a busy year for Cooper with the release of Summer In February and Dead Man Down.

He has also completed work on Need For Speed and Reasonable Doubt. He is also set to reprise the role of Howard Stark in Captain America: the Winter Solider.
