Knight Reveals Scrapped Tom Hardy Alfie Twist for Peaky Blinders
Steven Knight reveals he nearly included a Tom Hardy–Alfie Solomons twist in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man—where Alfie might appear as a dead figure—before scrapping it to focus on Tommy Shelby’s 1940 war-time arc and his farewell; the film ends with Tommy thwarting a Nazi counterfeit currency plot, and Knight hints some Immortal Man characters may appear in a forthcoming 1953 sequel series, while confirming Alfie won’t get a spin-off.
