Acclaimed British actor Stephen Graham, recognized for his powerful performances in This Is England and Snatch, has reportedly been offered a role in the upcoming sequel to the legendary crime thriller Heat. This potential casting news was first brought to light by Nexus Point News.
Speculation is mounting that Graham may portray a younger version of Neil McCauley, the iconic character originally played by Robert De Niro. This follows earlier reports linking Leonardo DiCaprio to the high-profile project.
Heat 2 is set to function as both a prequel and a sequel, bridging the timeline before and after the events of the 1995 original. Director Michael Mann will return to helm the production, which is slated to begin filming in 2026.
Graham’s career is marked by critical acclaim, including prestigious nominations for his work in the This Is England miniseries. Most recently, the actor took part in the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere.
