Actor Tom Hardy has responded to rumors that he will reprise his iconic role in the upcoming film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The British star played Alfie Solomons in the TV series, alongside Cillian Murphy 's Tommy Shelby and the rest of the Birmingham-based gang. Solomons was the head of a Jewish gang based in Camden Town, north London, and the runner of a distillery disguised as a bakery.

Hardy stared blankly into the camera for a long time, causing his Havoc co-star to chuckle and say, 'You can tell me if you want.' Hardy smiled and held his hands up, replying, 'I can't possibly say.' A couple of weeks ago, Hardy had the same response when asked about his potential involvement in the film. 'What are you talking about?' he asked a reporter from Buzzfeed who inquired whether he would be in the film. When she noted that 'anything can happen,' Hardy responded, 'Always. At any moment.'

The movie, believed to have wrapped already, is being produced in collaboration with Netflix and will also be released in theaters toward the end of 2025.
