Another major star has now revealed his involvement in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, with Boiling Point and Venom: The Last Dance star Stephen Graham telling Deadline that he will reprise the role of union man Hayden Stagg. The hugely talented British actor revealed that he will return alongside Cillian Murphy in the NetflixPeaky Blinders project while on the red carpet for the London Film Festival (LFF).

While he avoided revealing too many details about his role in the movie, he did say to the outlet that he is “looking forward to seeing the lads again” on the Peaky Blinders feature, which will continue the crime saga about Murphy’s ruthless gang leader Tommy Shelby.

Debuting back in 2013, Peaky Blinders follows Cillian Murphy as Thomas ‘Tommy’ Shelby, the dangerous leader of the Peaky Blinders, a criminal gang based in Birmingham in 1919. The series came to an end with its sixth season in 2022, with the final moments seeing Tommy riding off into the sunset with the world believing him dead. While this was expected to be the end of Tommy’s story, this is clearly not the case, with the actor now all set to return as Tommy and run into several faces from his past, including Graham’s Hayden Stagg, who was introduced in Season 6, and Tom Hardy’s Alfie Solomons.
