Thanks to his performances in Mr Robot and Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek has created quite a legacy for himself in Hollywood as one of the finest actors in the industry. Rami won the Oscar for Best Actor at the Academy Awards 2024 for his performance as the late Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Since the Oscar win, Rami has been part of movies like No Time to Die, Dolittle, The Little Things, and Oppenheimer. Rami Malek and Emma Corrin Confirm Their Relationship as Duo Gets Spotted Kissing in London (View Pics).

Rami Malek's reveal from a horrifying mummy (or so we think) to being the benevolent Egyptian pharaoh Ahkmenrah was a nice twist at the end of the first Night at the Museum. Malek reprised the role in the sequels as well.

The Master

This masterpiece by Paul Thomas Anderson features incredible performances from the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams. Rami Malek has a smaller role of playing The Master's son-in-law who is also part of his cult.

Oldboy

This much-derided remake of the Korean classic is a film that no one asked for. But we also forget it has a memorable death sequence for Rami Malek's character, which involves the brutal use of a hammer!

Need for Speed

Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul plays the main lead in this movie adaptation of the popular videogame by the same name. Malek plays one of the hero's friends, who is a computer nerd and the crew's tech expert. Although the film is pretty forgettable, Malek's shirtless resignation from his new job is not something to forget.

Rami Malek will be seen next in James Hewes' spy thriller The Amateur, that's scheduled to release on April 11, 2025. He will also be playing the lead in James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg, that also stars Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon.
