Tom Hardy has transformed himself into not just one, but two notorious gangsters in 'Legend!'
The 'Mad Max: Fury Road' actor will be playing the infamous twins Reggie and Ronnie Kray, who reigned over organized crimes in London's East End during the 1950s until their arrest in 1968.
Before they were incarcerated, the Kray Twins committed various crimes including armed robberies, protection rackets and even murder.
The Daily Mail has just published new photos of Tom Hardy as the Kray Twins, including a picture from the wedding of Reggie (Hardy) and Frances Kray (Emily Browning). The photograph shows Reggie looking at Frances adoringly as she prepares to say her vows.

The Kray Twins were not only known for being gangsters. Reggie and Ronnie were also nightclub owners who rubbed elbows with celebrities and politicians alike. However, the twins were arrested and convicted for the murders of George Cornell and Jack 'The Hat' McVitie.
Tom Hardy seems to have an uncanny ability to transform into notorious criminals. The actor has previously portrayed the infamous Charles Bronson in 'Bronson' and has appeared in the BBC series 'Peaky Blinders' as the Jewish gang leader Alfie Solomons.
Hardy is set to reprise his role as Alfie Solomons in the third season of 'Peaky Blinders.' According to showrunner Steven Knight, Camden town's brutal gang leader will return in Season Three.
'Legend' also stars Chazz Palminteri, Christopher Eccleston, Taron Egerton, Colin Morgan, David Thewlis and Tara Fitzgerald. The film is directed by Brian Helgeland and is based on the John Pearson book 'The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins.'
'Legend' will be released in the UK on September 9 and in the US on October 2, 2015.
