EXCLUSIVE: Tom Hardy in talks for thriller about notorious UK gangsters, from LA Confidential screenwriter Brian Helgeland; Working Title producing.
www.screendaily.comHere’s the latest on Tom Hardy and the Kray Twins film status, based on the most recent reporting I can access.

Tom Hardy has been widely associated with portraying both Kray twins in the film Legend (2015). Multiple trades and outlets at the time reported Hardy in a dual role as Ronnie and Reggie Kray, with production activity in the UK and a planned 2015/2016 release window. This project was developed by Working Title and written/directed by Brian Helgeland, focusing on the twins’ rise, partnership, and downfall.[3][5][6][8]

Since then, updates on a new or additional Kray Twins movie starring Tom Hardy have been sparse in mainstream press. The most concrete, widely cited project remains Legend, with initial trailers and promotional materials released in 2015 and subsequent coverage in 2015–2016 periods. There have been many retrospective articles and trailer coverage, but little in the way of new production or casting announcements as of the most recent reports I’m aware of.[5][6][8]

If you’re seeking very fresh “latest news” as of today, it appears there hasn’t been a new official update confirming a sequel, a reboot, or Hardy’s involvement in a new Kray Twins project beyond Legend. The historical footprint shows significant attention around 2014–2015 when Hardy was widely reported to possibly play both brothers, but subsequent development did not clearly progress to a new public release or new casting announcements.[1][3][5]
Illustration: Legend (2015) is the most concrete and recent widely covered Tom Hardy Kray Twins project in mainstream reporting, with Hardy playing both Ronnie and Reggie and the film directed by Brian Helgeland (Early to mid-2010s coverage; new updates are not consistently reported after that window).[6][3]
