Marching Powder sees Danny Dyer a world away from Mick Carter (Picture: Marching Powder\/True Brit Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Danny Dyer<\/a>\u2019s bold new film has raised eyebrows among one of his biggest fanbases with reported walkouts over its graphic nature<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marching Powder sees Dyer star as Jack Jones, an ageing, drug-taking football hooligan who\u2019s arrested after violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around \u2013 or else face prison.<\/p>\n

Sold as an \u2018outrageous comedy<\/a> about addiction, violence and happy endings\u2019, with romance and violence (\u2018but this ain\u2019t no rom-com\u2019, it insists), the movie nonetheless appears to have taken some by surprise.<\/p>\n

After the film released in cinema on Friday, people have been heading out to see it.<\/p>\n

As fan Liam shared on X: \u2018Went to watch that new Danny Dyer film<\/a> Marching Powder. The funniest thing that happened was an elderly couple who clearly didn\u2019t know what they were getting themselves into got up to leave after 20 minutes and the woman said to her husband \u201cWell he\u2019s not like that on EastEnders\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n

Whether or not this particular walkout actually took place, it is true that Dyer\u2019s character of Jack is worlds away from that of Mick Carter, the kind and patriotic family man and landlord of the Queen Vic pub he played on EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So people who\u2019ve only become aware of him since he was beamed into their televisions several nights a week during prime time will be quite surprised to see him sniffing copious amounts of coke, let his young son watch porn and drop a constant stream of C-bombs, right from the off.<\/p>\n

Dyer, 47, played Mick on EastEnders from 2013 until 2022<\/a>, garnering awards and fans alike for his popular turn \u2013 but he was actually attracted to the soap role because it was different to how he had been cast before.<\/p>\n
