The British crime drama show “Peaky Blinders,” which ended its run in 2022, had amassed a devoted following due to its powerful scriptwriting, remarkable acting by a skilled cast, and impressive production design. Fans of this series have been thrilled to hear that Netflix is planning a feature film adaptation titled “The Immortal Man” as part of the Peaky Blinders universe. In this upcoming movie spinoff, Cillian Murphy will reprise his role as Thomas Shelby, with several other familiar faces also returning from the cherished series. However, it was recently announced that not all original cast members will be present in the Netflix adaptation.
Actor Sam Claflin has disclosed that the beloved role he played won’t resurface in the upcoming series, “The Immortal Man.
Sam Claflin Won’t Return for Netflix’s Peaky Blinders Film The Immortal Man
In Season 5, Claflin entered the show as the antagonist Oswald Mosley, a character modeled after the genuine historical figure and the central adversary for that season. He stayed on the series until its termination at the end of Season 6. While fans hoped to see Claflin return to this role in the upcoming Netflix movie, he recently clarified his position during an interview with Metro.
Claflin hesitated but then revealed that he isn’t appearing in the movie, despite being an enthusiast of the series.”
This paraphrase maintains the original meaning while using simpler and more straightforward language.
It’s undeniably disheartening that Claflid won’t be part of the cast in the upcoming adaptation. He truly stood out and left an indelible impression due to his portrayal of a real-life historical figure. Moreover, fans connected deeply with his acting as he breathed life into the character, making him both despicable and captivating. Yet, given that the film is set during World War II, a period when Mosley’s influence was significantly diminished, his absence seems justified.
Despite some less-than-ideal updates, it’s not just Murphy who’s returning for the next installment – far from it! Stephen Graham is coming back as Hayden Stagg, Sophie Rundle will reappear as Ada, Ned Dennehy is set to return as Charlie Strong, Ian Peck will be back as Curly, and Packy Lee will portray Johnny Dogs once more. Additionally, Barry Keoghan and Rebecca Ferguson have been confirmed as new additions to the cast.
