Stephen Graham has officially announced he will return to 20th-century Birmingham in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. The film is titled The Immortal Man. It has many well-known actors returning or joining the cast, including the talented Cillian Murphy, who will play Tommy Shelby again.
In an interview with Deadline at the London Film Festival, Graham expressed his excitement, saying he was “looking forward to seeing the lads again” on the film set. However, he did not confirm which character he would play. He will likely reprise his role as Hayden Stagg, who became a fan favorite in the show’s final season.
Graham and Murphy will join other stars such as Jay Lycurgo, Tim Roth, Rebecca Ferguson, and Barry Keoghan in this movie. Production started in late September. The series’ creator, Steven Knight, will direct the film.
Anticipation Grows as Fans Look Forward to More Drama and Action
He celebrated the start of production with a post on Netflix’s X account, featuring Knight and Murphy together again. Knight will produce the project alongside Caryn Mandabach, Guy Heeley, and Murphy. Executive producers include director Tom Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren, and David Mason.
Knight mentioned that the film will be set during the Second World War. Since Season 6 begins on December 5, 1933, the story will take place several years after the series ended. Currently, there is no official release date for The Immortal Man, so keep an eye on Otakukart for updates.
Graham and Knight are also collaborating on another exciting project called A Thousand Blows. In this sports drama, Graham will play the boxer Sugar Goodison alongside Erin Doherty, Ziggy Heath, and Jason Tobin. The series will follow two best friends, Hezekiah and Alec, who have just arrived from Jamaica.
They fight for survival in the dangerous and chaotic environment of Victorian London’s East End, facing off against Sugar Goodison, a seasoned and dangerous boxer.
You can stream all six seasons of Peaky Blinders now on Netflix.
