How to watch Capone in the UK
As yet, it's uncertain when UK viewers will get to watch Capone, though it's expected to get a digital release at a future date. Director Josh Trank tweeted in April 2020 that it will also "hopefully will be on the big screen later this year!", but nothing has been confirmed.
US audiences, however, will be able to watch it on 12th May. Capone is set to stream on VOD that day – with viewers able to rent it on-demand for 48 hours afterwards.
What is Capone about?
Based on true events, Capone tells the story of Chicago bootlegger Al "Fonzo" Capone, at 47 years old. (The film was originally titled Fonzo.)

We see the gangster in his Miami pad, suffering from dementia, deeply disturbed by memories of his violent past.
