Littlefinger from 'Game of Thrones' joins Queen movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
He have been booted from Westeros, but Littlefinger a.k.a. Aidan Gillen will be back on screen shortly, this time in the upcoming Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
Gillen will play John Reid, per The Hollywood Reporter, the band's manager of three years before Jimmy Beach (to be played by Tom Hollander).
Bohemian Rhapsody will cover Queen's history from 1970 to 1985, primarily through performances that will test star Rami Malek's chops (he'll be Freddie Mercury). Reid was the band's manager from 1975 to 1978, followed by Beach.
We last saw Gillen answering for Petyr Baelish's insidious crimes in the Game of Thrones Season 7 finale, whereupon he was executed before the assembled lords in Winterfell by Arya Stark. Little is known about Reid's departure from Queen, but he also spent 25 years managing Elton John, which was probably a bit time consuming.
Bohemian Rhapsody is due in theaters Dec. 25, 2018.
