Speaking to Collider earlier this year, Egerton revealed it won't your regular biographical film.
"Everyone thinks it’s a bio-pic. It isn’t. It’s a fantasy musical so it’s actually his songs used to express important beats in his life at emotional moments. He’s not the only character that sings. It’s going to be fun," he said.
