Bohemian Rhapsody 2: Roger Taylor on why a Freddie Mercury sequel is unlikely (EXCLUSIVE)

Last year Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody stormed both the global box office and the Oscars. And since its success, there have been discussions about a sequel. Now in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Roger Taylor has revealed why he’s not keen on a Bohemian Rhapsody 2.

The 70-year-old, who was promoting his new solo single Isolation, said: “Right now it’s not something I’d like to see.

“I don’t think it’s particularly a good idea.

“Just because something’s been successful, I don’t think one should necessarily have part two.

“I think that only really worked once and that was with The Godfather!”

The Queen guitarist went on to say how it’s not the story they want to tell right now.

May added: “There’s a million things in our career which you couldn’t show in a movie since the movie had to be so simplified to make it watchable.

“But we don’t really think there’s another movie there.”

“That’s the long and the short of it.”

Nevertheless, it’s worth pointing out that both active Queen members didn’t say an outright “no”.

It’s only not right at the moment.

So perhaps a Bohemian Rhapsody 2 set between 1985 and 1991 in Freddie’s final years will one day happen?

But, of course, if it does it would be a very different movie, perhaps reflecting on the star’s resilience to keep making music throughout his illness.
