In the wake of its hugely common 6-season run, Peaky Blinders is officially returning for a film. Perhaps even extra thrilling to me is Tom Hardy’s interest in reprising his Television series function for the film. While addressing his Peaky Blinders film return, Tom Hardy revealed that he desires to return as Alfie Solomons, saying he’s “100%” behind the thought, even though he’s just “punting” at this point. So far, Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby is the only character confirmed to be returning for the film — even even though Peaky Blinders season 6 recommended lots of characters’ returns.

Created by Steven Knight, the period-piece crime drama follows Murphy’s cunning Tommy Shelby, an ambitious crime boss who oversees an urban gang named Peaky Blinders. Set in the quick aftermath of World War I, the series sees its titular gang tangling with authorities, expanding their criminal organization, getting into the political arena, and navigating civil unrest. I was shocked when Peaky Blinders season 6 ending concluded on a mixed note: Although the Shelby family members is fractured, there is some guarantee in Tommy’s new path, which tends to make a Peaky Blinders film all the extra thrilling — and pretty a great deal required.

Peaky Blinders Hardly Featured Alfie After Season 5 Revealed His Survival

Tom Hardy’s Peaky Blinders Character Is A Fan-Favorite

One of the characters who need to return for Peaky Blinders‘ film, Aflie Solomons is a fan-favored character. The owner of an illegal distillery and leader of a Jewish gang primarily based in Camden Town, Alfie very first appeared in Peaky Blinders season 2. After causing his fair share of strife, Alfie reveals to Tommy that he has life-threatening cancer. Wanting to die on his personal terms, Alfie fires at Tommy, but is shot in the face. To me, the season 5 reveal that Alfie survived the incident was a single of Peaky Blinders‘ extra shocking moments, and it led to a single of the show’s very best group-ups.

Unfortunately, Alfie’s function in season 6 is a great deal extra minor, most likely due to the fact of Tom Hardy’s other filming commitments. While we see him in the Cotton Club and once more in the series’ final moments, he does not make a great deal of an impression. I locate that it is often a treat to see Alfie seem on-screen with the rest of the Peaky Blinders crew, so seeing him in the film would be wonderful. In addition to setting up a possible function for Hardy’s beloved character in the spinoff, the Peaky Blinders film can satisfyingly conclude Alfie’s core story soon after quite a few years.
