Acclaimed British actor Stephen Graham, best known for his powerhouse performances in This Is England and Snatch, has reportedly been offered a role in the follow-up to the iconic crime thriller Heat. News of the potential casting was first brought to light by Nexus Point News.
Speculation suggests that Graham may take on the mantle of a younger Neil McCauley, the master thief originally immortalized by Robert De Niro. His name joins a growing list of high-profile talent linked to the project, including Leonardo DiCaprio.
The narrative of Heat 2 is expected to serve as both a prequel and a sequel, expanding on the lives of the characters both before and after the events of the 1995 masterpiece. Michael Mann is set to return to the director’s chair, with principal photography scheduled to begin in 2026.
Graham has long been a fixture of prestige television and cinema, earning significant award recognition for his gritty, authentic portrayals. Most recently, the actor was seen in the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere.
