The first trailer for the highly anticipated Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" was finally released this week.

Starring "Mr. Robot" actor Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, the legendary British rock band's lead singer who died in 1991, the film has been in the works for at least eight years.

The 97-second sneak peek dropped Tuesday morning, opening with Malek in an iconic white cape, then cutting to the look-alike in a series of on-stage snippets as beats from Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Killer Queen" play throughout, leading to the unforgettable, lively 1985 Wembley Stadium crowd.

The film debuts on Oct. 24 in the United Kingdom, on Nov. 1 in Australia and Nov. 2 in the United States.
