Mere hours after learning it’d be skipping theaters and coming straight to digital, we now have our first look at Capone.
Directed and written by Josh Trank, the pic – which was originally titled Fonzo – will look to repair the damage Trank did to his career while helming Fantastic Four, which was an absolute disaster in every sense of the word. But here, he’s returned to smaller scale filmmaking and thanks to the trailer up above, we can finally get a taste of what we’re in store for.
Tom Hardy stars as Al Capone and as you can see, he’s completely transformed himself for the role, as he so often does. Though brief, the footage here is promising and this seems to be another strong performance from the beloved actor. Which makes sense, as after seeing him in Legend, we all know he has this whole mafioso...

After weathering the reception of Fantastic Four, director Josh Trank is now back with a film that is actually solely his cut. Tom Hardy is leading his crime drama biopic playing the Chicago crime boss Al Capone. Once titled Fonzo, his next feature is now going by Capone and it is arriving much sooner than expected.
Vertical Entertainment has picked up the film, which will land on May 12 on streaming with a theatrical release to hopefully arrive when the world resumes to normal. Trank has now dropped the first trailer on Twitter for the film also starring Linda Cardellini, Noel Fisher, Jack Lowden, Matt Dillon, Kyle MacLachlan, Kathrine Narducci, and Caiden Acurio.
Scored by El-p, the film follows Capone’s journey later in his life, after an 11-year prison stint in Atlanta. Judging from the trailer, Hardy certainly seems to be chewing the scenery to great lengths in entertaining fashion...

We’ve waited an awful long time to see Tom Hardy become Al Capone – too long, some might argue – but according to a new listing from the Classification & Ratings Administration (Cara), the biopic is headed to VOD platforms under a new title: Capone.
Previously known as Fonzo, the Josh Trank-directed crime pic first sprung into life back in 2016, though Hardy’s involvement in the standalone Venom movie naturally pushed Fonzo Capone onto the back-burner.
It’s only now, four years later, that Capone is finally on the verge of release thanks to Vertical Entertainment. As reported by Anton Volkov on Twitter, Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four follow-up has been retitled, slapped with an R rating, and is now seemingly bound for digital platforms. However, there’s still no sign of a firm release date – digital or otherwise. Though we imagine it’ll be soon now that it’s been rated.
