The gritty charm of Tommy Shelby’s criminal enterprise will return to the big screen as the legendary Peaky Blinders universe continues. The movie begins right after the end of the series and jumps right into the 1930s as England prepares for war. According to rumors, the plot revolves around Tommy Shelby navigating risky political ties while coping with the ghosts of his family’s troubled history.
Cillian Murphy will reprise his role as the enigmatic Tommy Shelby, with Paul Anderson returning as Arthur Shelby, and Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby. However, the film also promises a range of fresh talent, including Barry Keoghan, whose potential involvement has stirred excitement. Known for his intense, layered performances, Keoghan’s role remains a mystery, but fans speculate he could be an antagonist to rival Shelby in ruthlessness and ambition.
Creator Steven Knight has hinted at an intense showdown that will add layers to Tommy’s moral journey. “This is Tommy facing his most brutal inner conflict yet, where loyalty, power, and legacy collide,” Knight said, teasing a climactic confrontation. The film aims to capture the explosive mix of family ties and high-stakes crime that defined the series while exploring the Shelby legacy in a world on the brink of chaos.
