Brian May talks about BR sequel being possible

I think that expecting them to be responsible – much less “extremely responsible” based on Freddie being their “best friend“ - is a bit unrealistic.

First of all, I’ve seen no evidence to ever indicate that Freddie and Brian were “best friends”. Roger and Freddie, at least in the early days, sure, but all evidence indicates that Freddie and Brian were mainly competitive coworkers.

Even if one could raise a hope of responsibility based on them being best friends with Freddie, history makes that hope a low one. I actually really enjoyed the first film for what it was and it was good to see the general public getting a new awareness of the band. But that film was driven by Roger and Brian, and their sense of responsibility to their “best friend“ did not prevent them from completely fabricating a third act which basically amounted to “And then Freddie became a total asshole and had to beg the band to let him rejoin them.”
