Hardy will be starring in <i>Legend<\/i>, where he\u2019ll be playing the Kray twins, two real-life gangster brothers that aimed to misbehave. Hardy has come up with plenty of aces in his career (most recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwoodandhollywood.com\/pop-culture-spin\/2015\/05\/18\/mad-max-fury-road-is-an-action-masterpiece\/\"><em>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em><\/a>), and this looks like it will be a shiny new addition to the pile.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Helgeland directed this biopic, and he seems worthy of the task, as he\u2019s penned <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0119488\/\">L.A. Confidential<\/a><\/i>. As far as directing goes, he made his debut with <i>Payback<\/i>, an underrated, gritty tale of revenge, but was most recently sitting in the captain\u2019s chair for <i>42<\/i>. He\u2019s not the best director for a film with such potential on paper, but the trailer is promising to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>Judging from the trailer, the film looks sharp, witty, and energetic as hell. Hardy looks like he has fantastic chemistry with himself as well, playing Ronnie and Reggie Kray. Ronnie\u2019s the homosexual muscle of the two, and Reggie\u2019s the brain. That\u2019s right, we get to see Tom Hardy play a homosexual badass.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Hardy is Emily Browning, Christopher Eccelston, and of course, Chazz Palminteri. Jeremy Irons, Edward Norton, Nicolas Cage, and Michael Keaton are the handful of actors who have successfully played their own twin. Hardy looks like he\u2019s about to get on that list and shoot to the top.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yI3v6KfR9Mw[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, Jean-Claude Van Damme played his own twin too.
