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.

Tommy Shelby Faces Ghosts and a Nazi Plot in a Mythic Homefront

Tommy Shelby is haunted in 1940 as he confronts a Nazi counterfeit plot and a rival son, guided by Ada and Kaulo, while the film threads myth and Romany lore. Visually striking and fan-friendly, it leans into nostalgia but suffers from thin characterization (notably Duke) and overused tropes, delivering atmosphere over a decisive narrative. Netflix release, 1h52m, directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight.

Peaky Blinders: The Movie Doubles Down on the Show's Flaws

Vulture’s Fran Hoepfner critiques Netflix’s Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, which opens with a World War II factory bombing framed as a memorial, but the piece argues the movie double-downs on the show’s worst habits—grim gravitas, melodramatic power plays, and nostalgia-forced drama—delivering familiar Shelby-family dynamics against a larger villain without offering fresh storytelling.

Tommy Shelby returns in a 1940-set feature that pairs Cillian Murphy’s composed ruthlessness with Barry Keoghan’s volatile Duke against a Nazi-forgery plot; stylish production, sharp costumes and a fan-service mix of brutal action and quiet pathos render it a polished, sentiment‑rich sendoff that should find Netflix audiences after a brief theatrical run.
