Last December, at least six months before the first teaser trailer would drop, Bohemian Rhapsody director Bryan Singer was fired from the production. A report at the time cited the X-Men filmmaker?s apparent ?unreliability and unprofessionalism,? while another indicated the production was momentarily shut down due to his ?unexpected unavailability.? According to Variety, producer Graham King revealed Singer would receive a directing credit for the film, despite his being fired and ultimately replaced by Dexter Fletcher.
