Leonardo DiCaprio & Martin Scorsese’s New Sinatra Movie Already Has 1 Major Challenge

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Leonardo DiCaprio's newly announced Frank Sinatra biopic with Martin Scorsese already has one glaring challenge. Following the critical acclaim of 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon, which earned 10 nominations at the 2024 Academy Awards, Scorsese has shown no signs of slowing down his remarkable filmmaking career. Scorsese's upcoming Jesus film has already been confirmed with Silence actor Andrew Garfield to star.

Leonardo DiCaprio Has Never Portrayed A Famous Singer Or Sang In A Movie Before DiCaprio had a very brief singing scene in Quentin Tarantino's latest film Close While DiCaprio has certainly nailed the classic American look in films like The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street , he has never been tasked with using his singing voice on camera before, other than a brief scene in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood .

There is an off chance that Scorsese's film will focus more on his personal life of Sinatra than his performances and won't actually require DiCaprio to take on the challenge of emulating the legendary singer's voice. Unlike Austin Butler in Elvis and Timothée Chalamet in James Mangold's upcoming A Complete Unknown, DiCaprio might be spared from trying to sing like Sinatra, although that would essentially defeat the purpose of a biopic about the musical icon.

DiCaprio was first rumored to be attached to Scorsese's Sinatra biopic in the late 2000s after John Travolta had initially been considered. DiCaprio was reportedly taking singing lessons in order to nail the part of Sinatra more than a decade ago, but the movie remained in development for years as both he and Scorsese had taken on other projects, which turned out pretty well for both of them.
