GREEN STREET actor Leo Gregory has revealed that filming for a sequel will begin next year.
Gregory played Bovver in the 2005 cult classic about an ex-Harvard student who befriends a gang of West Ham football hooligans.
The film also featured Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam – both of whom have gone on to enjoy Hollywood success in the two decades since.
It has long been assumed that Green Street would be left as a standalone flick.
But Gregory has told fans otherwise.
He said in an interview with talkSPORT: “I have a film coming out next year.
“And the same producer of that, Andrew Loveday, amazing man, we’re going to be shooting a new Green Street next year with Signature [Entertainment], 20 years later. And that is an exclusive!”
Spoiler alert: Hunnam’s character, Pete Dunham, was beaten to death by a Millwall rival at the end of the first film.
And Gregory was asked whether he really did die, or if a dramatic twist could be in store for the sequel.
He replied: “He is [dead], although there are rumours that he’s popped up on Netflix recently!
“I don’t know if they can be confirmed or not but I’ve heard he’s done a very good job.”
Gregory’s character Bovver double-crossed his Hammers pals with a tip-off which led to Dunham’s brutal end.
Pressed on what that could mean for the second film, the actor, now 46, said: “Well, we’ll have to find out very, very soon, won’t we?
“But I think Bovver would suggest that he did it out of necessity.”
