Marching Powder Shirtless Danny Dyer stares at mountains of cocaine and brawls in the street in trailer for Football Factory 'sequel'

As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time delving into the darker corners of society, I find myself intrigued by the news of Danny Dyer and Nick Love reuniting for the sequel to “The Football Factory.” Having grown up surrounded by the gritty realism that pervades these films, their depiction of a life revolving around alcohol, drugs, womanizing, and violence resonates with me in a way that few other productions do.

On Thursday, a sneak peek of Danny Dyer’s latest movie, titled “Marching Powder”, was unveiled as the trailer made its debut.

Although this new project doesn’t officially continue the storyline of The Football Factory, where the actor portrayed disillusioned 29-year-old Tommy Johnson in 2004 and whose life revolved around weekend football games, it shares a similar theme.

After twenty years, Danny returns to the familiar ground once belonging to Tommy, now assuming the role of a man called Jack. This time, however, Jack must change his ways drastically to avoid serving time behind bars.

The trailer showed him shirtless staring at mountains of cocaine and brawling in the streets.

The trailer has given a sneak peek on what to expect and starts with actor Danny talking to camera with a suspicious substance in his hand while a group of men fight in the background.

He says: ‘I’m here to introduce my new film. It’s a gentle lovely little rom com called Marching Powder.’

After that, he pauses and calls out to the men: “Hey buddy, hey buddy quiet down,” followed by giving a whiff to a questionable item.

Despite their ongoing dispute, he silences them by resorting to physical violence. Then, addressing the camera, he presents the trailer for “Marching Powder.” It’s an enchanting movie, quite suitable for all ages.

The movie revolves around a pair who are striving to rescue their relationship. Their union has been put to the test due to the husband’s ongoing battle with drug addiction.

The opening scene of the trailer introduces the character, Jack Jones, who finds himself in a courtroom being scolded by the judge for misconduct, such as getting into physical altercals during football games and illegally possessing cocaine.

He’s been given a six-week ultimatum: change his ways or face prison time, and Jack laments, ‘I’ve messed up. My wife is going to abandon me. I’ve driven my son crazy. My friends view me as dull.’

My father-in-law seems ready to be extremely upset with me, but I’m determined to prove my worth and make him proud by becoming a valuable contributor to society.

In a different scenario, Jack goes to pick up his son, JJ, from school, and the little lad queries whether mom is involved in a romantic relationship with someone else.

Danny stated: ‘If you ever find me at school, it suggests she might be either deceased or gone with someone else.’

In a different phrasing, The Football Factory narrated the tale of two imaginary gangs of English soccer thugs – the Headhunters, loyal to Chelsea, and the Bushwhackers, staunch supporters of Millwall.

Danny’s character, Tommy, belongs to the Chelsea gang, where his existence primarily centers on drinking, using drugs, womanizing, and aggression. However, as his recurring nightmares persistently haunt him, he begins to doubt his path in life.

The movie, only somewhat inspired by John King’s book, initially garnered unfavorable opinions from critics upon release, yet it eventually evolved into a sort of beloved film among certain groups, known as a cult classic.

The sequel has been titled Marching Powder, a euphemism for the cocaine loved by the characters.

Danny announced on Instagram in January that he had teamed up with director Nick Love once more for a sequel movie. His caption was: “Time to get crazy again”.

He told fans: ‘The secrets out. I’m going back to work with The Football Factory director Nick Love and I cannot f***ing wait.

I can’t wait till January 15th when I’ll be fully immersed in ‘The Marching Powder,’ a movie that promises to deliver even more gritty elements like crime, drugs, and intense, hard-hitting violence. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience!

He concluded the exciting news: ‘And you’re gonna love it, so merry f***ing Christmas.’ 

‘The film, titled “Marching Powder,” chronicles the tale of Jack (Danny), an older man who enjoys drugs and football riots. He’s apprehended and given six weeks to make significant life changes or else face a lengthy prison sentence.’

Regarding the movie, Danny shared his excitement: “It’s thrilling to work with Nick again, as he’s the one and only foolhardy genius I know.

‘Marching Powder’ brings us once again into the realm of ‘The Football Factory’, offering a blend of intense violence, drug-filled scenes, and a generous dose of humor that you’ll find irresistible.

As a devoted fan, I found myself in a harrowing predicament at the close of The Football Factory. After a brutal confrontation with a band of Millwall toughs, I was left battered and admitted to the hospital for my injuries.

Last August, there were many rumors swirling that Danny might be working on a sequel with Nick. This speculation arose because it was said they had met to talk about a new script, in preparation for the 20th anniversary of the original’s release in May.

According to a source, Danny is now available as a free agent following his departure from EastEnders, and discussions have taken place between him and director Nick regarding a potential follow-up to The Football Factory movie.

The movie concluded with the character Tommy, portrayed by Danny, recuperating after being brutally attacked by a mob of Millwall supporters.

The plan is for the new project to trace Tommy’s journey in the ensuing years, detailing his experiences within the company and the rising generation that succeeds him.

In the 2004 film where I shared screen time with Danny, I had the pleasure of acting alongside Frank Harper from “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.” He portrayed Billy Bright, while Neil Maskell brought Rod King to life on set.

In the upcoming sequel, it’s anticipated that Frank will once again take on his character, who spent seven years behind bars following the events portrayed in the original film.
