Hinting at that there will be as much humour as there will be violence, the trailer gives a further glimpse into how the talent actor portrays the famous twins.

The film appears to place a large focus on the difficulties Reggie faced in regards to Ronald’s more unhinged ways.

At one point Reggie is warned, 'Your brother Ron is violent and psychopathic, he's off his rocker'.

The movie, set and filmed in London's East End, follows the rise of the Kray twins during the Sixties and the criminal activities that led to their arrest on May 9, 1968.

During his time as the top crime boss in the capital, Reggie married Frances Shea - played in the film by Emily Browning.

Hinting at that there will be as much humour as there will be violence, the trailer gives a further glimpse into how the talent actor portrays the famous twins.

In the trailer, Frances can be seen asking Reggie, ‘Do you like being a gangster’, to which he responds, ‘I like the money and I like the respect.’

When Frances is introduced to Reggie, he jokes, 'Do you think we look alike?'.

Ronnie and Frances married in 1965, at St. James’s Church in Bethnal Green, but after a week’s honeymoon in Athens she was sent to live with her mother.

Frances was the younger sister of Frank Shea, a childhood friend of the Krays, and she began dating Reggie when she was 16-year old before he was locked up in Wandsworth prison for 18 months for protection-related threats.

The movie, set and filmed in London's East End, follows the rise of the Kray twins during the Sixties and the criminal activities that led to their arrest on May 9, 1968.

Ronnie and Frances married in 1965, at St. James’s Church in Bethnal Green, but after a week’s honeymoon in Athens she was sent to live with her mother.

It was alleged that Reggie murdered his sister-in-law which was made to look like suicide.

Christopher Eccleston also appears as Nipper Read, the police detective who led the squad that eventually took the Kray twins, and their criminal empire, down.

Legend is adapted from a screenplay penned by LA Confidential and Mystic River writer Brian Helgeland.

As heads of the notorious criminal gang The Firm, the Krays were behind numerous armed robberies, murders, arson attacks and protection rackets up until their arrest on May 9, 1968.

The film appears to place a large focus on the difficulties Reggie faced in regards to Ronald’s more unhinged ways.

At one point Reggie is warned, 'Your brother Ron is violent and psychopathic, he's off his rocker'.

Their story was previously told on film in the 1990s, with real life brothers Martin and Gary Kemp playing the titular roles.

Legend generated a buzz at Cannes, with potential buyers claiming Brian Hegleland's screenplay was 'one of the best scripts' they'd come across.

Legend is released in cinemas across the UK on September 9th.
