Tom Hardy’s ‘Havoc’ Leads Netflix’s Wales Gambit With $265 Million Economic Boost
Netflix's strategic investment in Welsh production hubs has generated more than $265 million for the U.K. economy since 2020, according to a report.
The economic windfall comes as the streamer gears to bow director Gareth Evans’ action thriller “ Havoc,” starring Tom Hardy – now holding the distinction as the largest feature film ever shot entirely within Wales. For every £1 ($1.32) spent by the streamer in Wales, 58 pence (76 cents) flows to TV and film sectors, with the remainder benefiting industries including rental and leasing, creative arts, and food and hospitality. The streamer’s “Ignite Your Creativity” program, created in partnership with the National Youth Theatre, has reached more than 350 young people through workshops across Newport, Cardiff, Port Talbot, Torfaen and Bridgend.
