10 Intense Upcoming Movie Performances You're Not Ready For

3. Tom Hardy - Fonzo

You already know that Tom Hardy is an exceptional actor who does particularly well when he's asked to do something intense. He's earned himself a chameleon-like reputation thanks in part to his incredible bodily transformations, but this is no mere master of disguise - he has the substance beneath the surface.

That's what makes his upcoming performance as Al Capone in Josh Trank's Fonzo so intriguing. We've got a physical transformation, as you'd expect, because Hardy plays Capone during his decline thanks to dementia in his older years. That's going to make for a testing performance to say the least and seeing how Hardy balances the legend of a mobster trapped in his own deteriorating mind makes it one of the most compelling movies set to release this year.
