Queen Guitarist Brian May Says They Are Looking at Ideas For a BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Sequel

The Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody was a good film regardless of all the behind-the-scenes issues that it had. I never expected to see a sequel, but it looks like a sequel is actually being considered, and the surviving members of the band are currently looking at ideas for it.

Queen guitarist Brian May recently shared (via NME), “We are looking at it. Yeah, we have been looking at ideas. It’s going to be hard to follow that one as none of us could have predicted how massive that was going to be. We put a lot of heart and soul into making it and no one could have predicted [its success] as it was bigger than ‘Gone with the Wind.’ But yes, we are thinking maybe it could happen, but it would have to be a great script. It’s going to take a while to figure that out.”

Prior to this statement, May wasn’t so sure about a sequel, and told Rolling Stone in 2020, “We don’t really think there’s another movie there. That’s the long and the short of it … I think we should look somewhere else. There are other ideas that we had, but I don’t think a sequel will happen.”

Well, the situation has obviously changed and they want to at least try and come up with a great sequel idea that they could get off the ground.

One thing I have to point out is May’s claim that Bohemian Rhapsody is a bigger film than Gone with the Wind. Guinness World Records still recognizes Gone with the Wind as the highest-grossing film of all time with inflation. Avatar, Titanic, Star Wars, and Avengers: Endgame round out the top five. Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t even in the top ten.

I’m not sure what exactly a Bohemian Rhapsody sequel would look like or what part of the band’s run the story would tell, but maybe one day we’ll find out. Would any of you be interested in watching a sequel? What do you think the sequel would entail?
