i find it very likely that May would be overly protective of his band's image
May has said repeatedly that Bohemian Rhapsody is not a movie about Queen. It's a movie about Freddie Mercury.
We can only speculate what Cohen had in mind for his movie and if May approved.
Never a Queen fan and will likely wait until the movie hits one of my movie services before watching.

We can only speculate what Cohen had in mind for his movie and if May approved.
Speaking to the US radio host Howard Stern, Baron Cohen said he hoped to present a “warts ‘n’ all” view of the legendary singer’s hedonistic lifestyle, but Mercury’s former bandmates were more concerned with protecting their legacy.
The comedian and actor said: “A member of the band – I won’t say who – said: ‘You know, this is such a great movie because it’s got such an amazing thing that happens in the middle.’”
“And I go: ‘What happens in the middle of the movie?’ He goes: ‘You know, Freddie dies.’ ... I go: ‘What happens in the second half of the movie?’ He goes: ‘We see how the band carries on from strength to strength.’
“I said: ‘Listen, not one person is going to see a movie where the lead character dies from Aids and then you see how the band carries on.’
