Mike Myers in talks to join Queen biopic cast

Actor-comedian Mike Myers is in negotiations for a role in rock band Queen biopic, "Bohemian Rhapsody".

The Bryan Singer-directed film about the seminal British band will see Rami Malek play frontman Freddie Mercury, reported Deadline.

Though it is unclear exactly who Myers will play, he has a longtime association with "Bohemian Rhapsody" as his 1992 comedy film "Wayne's World" used the rock band's classic track in one of the sequences.

Set for a Christmas Day 2018 release, the film also stars Gwilym Lee as guitarist Brian May, Ben Hardy as drummer Roger Taylor and Joe Mazzello as bassist John Deacon.
