27. Rocketman

Paramount Pictures

Having helped steer Bohemian Rhapsody into cinemas after Bryan Singer left partway through production (and not getting a director's credit on it), Dexter Fletcher will next turn his hand to another music biopic in the shape of Rocketman.

Like the Queen film, Rocketman comes with a wealth of material, given Elton John's interesting, colourful road to success, but there has to be some question over whether Fletcher will be able to tell the more interesting story with all the sordid details uncensored. That's always a struggle when the biopic subject is still around.

Egerton is great, despite Robin Hood, and there's more than enough Elton John love for even a sanitised Bohemian Rhapsody-style celebration to work well for fans.
