Tom Hardy wants in on the Peaky Blinders movie currently being developed by creator Steven Knight for Netflix.
During an interview with Sky News, Hardy said: “100% Alfie will definitely make an appearance, but I don’t know when… and I don’t even know if he will, that was just me punting.”
Hardy’s character Alfie was seemingly killed off in Peaky Blinders Season 4, but then he returned for Season 5 and Season 6. It seems like it would make sense to bring him back for the movie, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
The film will see Cillian Murphy return as Tommy Shelby, and he commented on that saying: “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me… It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”
Knight talked about the film in the past, saying: “The film, I know exactly what it’s about. And I know what two stories it’s going to tell. What will happen after that, I want that to depend on the film. For all we know somebody is going to pop out – I think I know who it’s going to be.”
Knight also recently shared and update, saying:: “It’s gonna happen this September. I’m just doing the final polishes, which will continue up until the day before we start shooting. But we’re there.
“We’ve got everything sorted, we’ve got all the commitments we need, we are ready to go. I think the film is gonna be a step up again, and it’s gonna be great that Peaky fans can meet in one place and watch it.
“The budget will be bigger, but also because we know we’re ending this chapter, we’re all going to try to do our best. Cillian [Murphy] is really up for it. So, I can’t wait for it to start shooting.”
The movie will be directed by Tom Harper (Heart of Stone). The Peaky Blinders movie doesn’t yet have a release date yet.
