EXCLUSIVE: Danny Dyer seen punching and kicking in street in violent Football Factory sequel scenes
The EastEnders hardman is returning to the screen as cult favourite character
DANNY Dyer has been spotted embroiled in massive brawl on the set of his new movie.
The former EastEnders actor is known for his hardman attitude on a variety of projects, but it seems there are still conditions to his participation.
The Sun previously revealed that work on a sequel to the 2004 hit film, Football Factory was underway.
Danny, 46, appears to be deep into work on the sequel film as he returns in the role of Chelsea hooligan Tommy Johnson.
It seems the character is up to his old tricks as he was spotted filming violent brawl scenes for ‘Marching Powder’ – a euphemism for the celebrity loved snow..
Wearing a simple black coat, denim jeans and trainers, we was seen vehemently taking a swing one of his co-stars.
More snaps from the set show him faced against a number of intimidating looking men as he kicks and stomps on his on-screen opponents.
This was before he made a run for it as the street fight dispersed as another gangsta character held a gun.
But Danny seems to be taking filming seriously as he insists on other protection behind the scenes … from the rain.
He made sure to keep his head well and truly dry as he relaxed in between takes.
As he made his way to and from the set, the former The Business star placed a plastic rain protector bonnet over his head.
For extra added protection, the production crew made sure the star was also fully covered with a wide Slazenger umbrella.
When the film was first announced, a source told The Sun: “The hope is they can turn it around quickly enough so it comes out in 2024 – in time for the 20th anniversary.
“The script for Marching Powder will reveal what happened to the rival factions of hooligans after the end of the last film.
“It’s a real passion project for Danny who can’t wait to get his teeth back into the role.”
The former soap star has been hard at work for the past month as he was previously spotted in knee guards and a padded jacket under a trench coat.
A witness said: “He may be 20 years older — but Dan’s character still looks a menace.”
In another sighting, he sported a grazed forehead whilst he enjoyed a cigarette in a residential area during filming.
There were also various scuff marks around his eye and nose which further indicated that the character was in the wars yet again.
