Get ready for the most anticipated return to Birmingham as fresh images of Barry Keoghan, and Rebecca Ferguson. Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders The Immortal Man have been unveiled. Fans are buzzing with excitement as the Oscar winner is set to reprise his legendary role as Tommy Shelby in this upcoming film. Brought to life by creator Steven Knight, the movie will continue the narrative of the Birmingham gangs that first captivated audiences on BBC in 2013. This could reportedly be Murphy’s final portrayal of the iconic character.
The film is set against the backdrop of World War II in 1940, marking Tommy Shelby’s return to Birmingham after his departure in the series finale. Creator Steven Knight shared insights with Empire magazine regarding this chapter, saying it represents the last few chapters of a long novel where everything gets rounded off. The story will also prepare audiences for what comes next, as a sequel series featuring a fresh cast has been greenlit by Netflix. This new series will unfold a decade after The Immortal Man film.
Barry Keoghan Leads New Generation Of Peaky Blinders
Saltburn star Barry Keoghan joins the cast as an enigmatic new character who spearheads a new generation of Peaky Blinders in 1940s Birmingham. The actor even gets to deliver the iconic phrase “By order of the Peaky Blinders” which has become synonymous with the franchise. Keoghan revealed that he had always wanted to be part of the series throughout its six season run, but schedules never aligned or he did not match the profile they were seeking.
Rebecca Ferguson Takes On Mysterious Role
Silo star Rebecca Ferguson, known for her fierce characters in the Mission Impossible and Dune series, takes on the role of Kaulo in The Immortal Man. The character is reportedly connected to Tommy Shelby, though the specifics of her role remain undisclosed. What is interesting is that Ferguson will not have a local Birmingham accent in the film. She reportedly told Murphy, who serves as an executive producer on the project, that she could not do a Brummie accent and asked if her character could be Swedish instead.
When Barry Met Cillian Again
When former Dunkirk co star Murphy reached out to invite Keoghan for the project, the actor could not refuse after learning about the character he would portray. Keoghan shared that he immediately said yes at the drop of a hat, expressing his excitement to work with Murphy again. The chemistry between these two talented actors is expected to be one of the highlights of the film, and fans are eager to see what their characters bring to the Peaky Blinders universe.
