A new photo has arrived of Rami Malek in his highly-anticipated role as Freddie Mercury in the upcoming Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody.

In the behind-the-scenes shot, shared by the film's director, Bryan Jay Singer (X-Men), Malek takes the stage (shirtless) as the music icon in red leather pants, knee pads, a wrist sweatband, and Nike sneakers. If you look closely, you'll catch a glimpse of Mercury's signature mustache.

It appears Malek is channeling this look, which Mercury sported during a 1982 Queen performance.

Singer's photo marks the latest of teasers we've seen of Malek taking on the late musician. The first photo from the film debuted in early September, featuring the Mr. Robot actor in Mercury's classic tank top and studs. Shortly after, a behind-the-scenes clip of the cast recreating Queen's iconic Live Aid performance surfaced online.

Bohemian Rhapsody is slated to hit theaters on December 25, 2018.
