Stephen Graham to double the worst trouble you can think of in Heat 2
Graham's participation in the film was confirmed on Tuesday.
Stephen Graham, known for his work as a criminal in films such as Boardwalk Empire and The Irishman, is set to join the cast of the upcoming sequel to the crime classic Heat. Graham, who is attending the Venice Film Festival to promote his latest film Bunker alongside Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, has joined the already impressive cast of Michael Mann's sequel-prequel.
Speculation has been rife since July, with outlets reporting that Graham will play Neil McCauley, a master thief, opposite Christian Bale's Vincent Hanna, a role previously portrayed by Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino's Christopher "Chris" Shiherlis, a role originally played by Val Kilmer. Leonardo DiCaprio is also confirmed to star as Chris Shiherlis, taking on the role previously filled by Kilmer.
The film is expected to feature Adam Driver, Jason Clarke, and Odessa Young in unconfirmed roles. While the "reported deal" with Stephen Graham has not been finalized, he is anticipated to begin production ahead of the film's planned July 2026 release. The movie is set to be filmed in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
