British actor Stephen Graham, known for his impressive performances in various films and television shows, has officially confirmed his involvement in the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie. Created by Steven Knight, the British period crime drama captured the hearts of viewers with its thrilling storyline and talented ensemble cast, led by the brilliant Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby. After six successful seasons, the series concluded in 2022 and fans have been eagerly waiting for its big screen adaptation.
The movie, set a few years after the events of the last season, has already started filming in Liverpool. While details about the plot have been kept under wraps, Graham has excitedly revealed that he will be reprising his role in the film. In the sixth and final season, the 51-year-old actor portrayed Hayden Stagg, a union convenor involved in the illegal trade of opium at the Salthouse docks in Liverpool.
In a recent interview at the London Film Festival, Graham shared his excitement about working on the movie with his co-stars once again. However, he remained tight-lipped about the storyline for his character. In the past few weeks, other cast members such as Tim Roth, Rebecca Ferguson, and Barry Keoghan have also been officially confirmed, with photos of Murphy back in character being released last month.
The show's creator, Steven Knight, has also been hyping up the film, calling the cast "mind-blowing" during the RTS London Convention and teasing that the story will take place during the Second World War. In a 2022 interview with GQ, Graham expressed his gratitude for being a part of the beloved series in its final season and praised Murphy's performance as Tommy Shelby, admitting that he was lost in his co-star's eyes when they first met.
Apart from the Peaky Blinders movie, Graham has also teamed up with Knight for the upcoming Disney Plus series, A Thousand Blows. Set in 1880s Victorian London, the show follows the story of Hezekiah Moscow, played by Malachi Kirby, who finds himself immersed in the dangerous world of illegal boxing in the East End after moving from Jamaica. Graham plays the role of Sugar Goodson, a seasoned boxer and rival to Hezekiah, in what promises to be an intense and gripping series.
As fans eagerly await the release of the Peaky Blinders movie, they can catch up on the series streaming on BBC iPlayer and Netflix. And for those who can't get enough of Stephen Graham's incredible performances, keep an eye out for his upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated Disney Plus series.
