As a dedicated fan who’s followed Tommy Shelby’s gripping saga since its inception, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of exhilaration when Netflix unveiled the first look of Cillian Murphy reprising his iconic role for the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. The image of Tommy, with greyer hair and a stoic expression, standing against a brick wall, is a testament to the enduring power of this captivating series.


Netflix unveiled an initial sneak peek showing Cillian Murphy returning to his character, Tommy Shelby, for the forthcoming Peaky Blinders film.

In simple terms, the upcoming movie continues directly from the series and unfolds several years post the climax of season six. It focuses on the Shelbys as they navigate through World War II. The streaming platform announced that filming for the movie has commenced, offering fans a glimpse into its main character ahead of time.

In freshly unveiled photos, Murphy is depicted standing profile-on against a brick backdrop, now sporting a more silvered mane as Tommy. Another shot captures him with the show’s mastermind, Steven Knight, on set – Knight being the creator, scriptwriter, and producer of the film.

According to the Peaky Blinders’ decree, Tommy Shelby returns again! The cast reunion of Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight takes place on set now that filming for the next Netflix project has officially begun.

It has been confirmed that Murphy will work alongside Tim Roth from Marvel, along with previously mentioned actors Rebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan. Further cast members will be unveiled as the announcement continues.

In a war-themed context, the film might delve into Tommy Shelby’s troubled history as a sergeant major during World War I, an experience that resulted in recurring nightmares and signs of post-traumatic stress. Yet, it remains unclear if Tommy will play a direct role in the ensuing conflict.
