Tom Hardy can be both intense and incredibly smooth, and he gets to do both at the same time in Legend, the gangster drama in which he plays dual roles. Written and directed by Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential), the film stars Hardy as real-life siblings Ronnie and Reggie Kray, who ran the infamous East London gang known as The Firm in the 1960s. Here's the official synopsis to go along with the brand new U.K. trailer:
