Peaky Blinders creator addresses star's 'confusing' absence from new film
"What I'll say is that the story determines the cast, and the story was set. I knew that Tommy needed to have done something that he couldn't forgive himself for."
"This plot development has been met with outcry, with viewers highlighting it as one of the most 'out of place' sequences in the film."
Paul Anderson, known for his role as Arthur Shelby in Peaky Blinders, does not appear in The Immortal Man. The film reveals that Arthur was killed by Tommy after stealing from him. This plot twist has drawn criticism from viewers, who found it confusing and disrespectful. Steven Knight stated that the story dictated the cast and emphasized Tommy's need for a significant, unforgivable action. Anderson's absence was further complicated by his legal issues related to drug possession earlier in 2024.
