Birmingham Goes Big Time: “Peaky Blinders” Movie Adds Stephen Graham to the Starry Cast
The Peaky Blinders movie just added another charismatic performer who knows his way around post-World War I Birmingham. Stephen Graham, who played Hayden Stagg in the sixth and final season of the smashing BBC series, revealed to Deadline that he’s returning for series creator Steven Knight‘s big-screen continuation, which Knight penned and Tom Harper will direct.
Graham joins newly minted Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, the series and now film’s lead, Tommy Shelby, the head of the Shelby gang. The cast is rounding into starry shape, with Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, and Tim Roth already in place.
The film will be set during the Second World War, but that’s about all we know about the plot. Graham is a busy guy, with roles in Steven McQueen’s Blitz, Kelly Marcel’s Venom: The Last Dance, and Disney+ show A Thousand Blows, also written by Knight, all upcoming. He’s also playing Bruce Springsteen’s dad, Douglas ‘Dutch’ Springsteen, in Scott Cooper’s Deliver Me From Nowhere, which will star Jeremy Allen White as the Boss.
