Mason Guccione joins Al Capone Biopic

"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" actor Mason Guccione has been cast opposite Hollywood star Tom Hardy in a key role in the Al Capone feature biopic "Fonzo", reports variety.com.

Josh Trank is directing from his own script about the ruthless businessman and bootlegger who was jailed for tax evasion and died at the age of 47, following nearly a decade of imprisonment as dementia rotted his mind. Producers are keeping the details of Guccione's character under wraps.

Guccione will also feature in the upcoming comedy "Night School".
