Peaky Blinders fans finally got the news they’ve all been waiting for, namely that Cillian Murphy will be reprising his role as Tommy Shelby in the upcoming film. A confirmation which sparked strong reactions on the networks.
After debuting in 2013, Peaky Blinders has won over many fans around the world, becoming one of the most popular series of the last decade. We find Cillian Murphy, whom fans were recently able to see again in the film Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan. He played the character of Tommy Shelby, which is very probably his most cult role even today.
A role that he retained for almost ten years, the British series having ended in 2022 after six seasons. But the end of the series does not mean that we will no longer be able to see the Shelby family again, because before Season 6 was broadcast, the creator of Peaky Blinders Steven Knight had revealed that he wanted to make a film, which would then be used conclusion to the series.
And while many fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the Shelbys to the big screen, the British filmmaker recently made the announcement that all fans were hoping for.
Cillian Murphy will be in the next Peaky Blinders film
It was during the premiere of his new series, called This Town, that Knight confirmed to the Birmingham World that Murphy would indeed be present in the next Peaky Blinders spin-off. He then said this: “He’s definitely coming back for this. We’re going to be filming in September right next door in Digbeth.”
For a while now, various rumors have been circulating online regarding Murphy’s return to the role of head of the Shelby family for the next feature film Peaky Blinders. The star of the series, who won an Oscar for Nolan’s latest biopic, had previously indicated that she was “open to the idea” as long as there was a “good script” .
Given Knight’s comments, this is clearly the case. Fans reacted enthusiastically to the news, as evidenced by the messages that can be found on this subject on X (formerly Twitter):
