Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy, now 48, is no stranger to the fierce world of Birmingham's gangsters. His character, Tommy Shelby, is known for his cunning intelligence and relentless ambition, and judging from the first images, it looks like he’s still got that piercing focus, albeit with a touch of worn wisdom that only time can bestow. Alongside Murphy, actor Barry Keoghan, nominated for Best Supporting Actor, is also set to join the star-studded cast. Fans can only imagine what kind of ruckus these characters will stir up this time!

While details on the other cast members are still under wraps, the excitement and anticipation are palpable.

One thing's for sure: the film is expected to pick up where season six left off, giving loyal viewers the closure they have been craving since the series concluded.

For those scratching their heads about when they can catch the flick, mark your calendars—though an official release date hasn’t been announced yet, but with production underway, we know it’ll be worth the wait! And here’s a fun tidbit to chew on while you wait: Peaky Blinders fans have loved the show so much that it has inspired real-life fashion trends, with flat caps flying off the shelves. Not only that, but did you know that Cillian Murphy originally auditioned for the role of Tommy Shelby without knowing much about it? Talk about serendipity! This gang war saga sure knows how to get under our skin—and keep it!
