Tom Hardy's portrayal of Alfie Solomons in the hit crime drama series 'Peaky Blinders' has been a fan-favorite, but it has now been confirmed that the character will not appear in the upcoming sequel film 'The Immortal Man'. The film, set during World War II, will see the return of Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby along with new cast members like Rebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan, but Hardy's Alfie Solomons will not be part of the story.

Why it matters

Alfie Solomons was a key antagonist and foil to Tommy Shelby throughout the 'Peaky Blinders' series, with their dynamic being a major draw for many fans. His absence in the sequel film will be disappointing for those hoping to see the continuation of his story and relationship with Tommy.

The details

However, despite this, the character will not be making an appearance in 'The Immortal Man', which takes place during World War II and sees Tommy Shelby return to Birmingham for a new mission related to the war.
