Cillian Murphy would be seen coming back in his iconic role of Tommy Shelby with his flat-capped Brummie. He would be seen as a crime boss, launching the next year and distributed by Netflix.

Netflix released the teaser of the Peaky Blinders movie on social media. It was a photo of a hefty script but the crew was reticent about the story. It created an instant buzz among the fans about the cast and the storyline.

However, much to the surprise of the fans, an A-list star, Rebecca Ferguson has confirmed to join Peaky Blinders family. Rebecca Ferguson has done epic movies like Mission Impossible (2015 and 2023), Dune (part one and two), Silo and The Greatest Showman.

Rebecca Ferguson’s past roles make her an apt choice for the role in Peaky Blinders. She has the capacity to play characters full of complexities. She plays strong and wayward characters blending well in the storyline.

The news instantly broke on Netflix UK and Ireland via their official pages of X, “Rebecca Ferguson will join Cillian Murphy in the upcoming Peaky Blinders film!”

The ecstatic fans started commenting on the post with their uncontrolled excitement with statements like, “Hell yeah! Can’t wait!” and “Love her sooooo much yesss!”

The details of the plot are yet unknown to the public. The writer, Steven Knight, only revealed that the story of the movie is set during the Second World War. The first six series plots were based towards the end of the First World War through the conclusion of 1933 Prohibition in the US.

Knight also unveiled that it would be the most “explosive chapter” in the history of Peaky Blinders. It is expected that the collaboration of Director Tom Harper with Steven Knight is the cause of this explosion. Knight amusingly cited that Thomas Shelby wasn’t finished with him yet but he felt gratified in the film version. This is especially meant for the fans.

With this, another most prominent question caught the spotlight, whether Tommy would be much older and wiser than the previous series finale in 2022. Cillian explained that Tommy Shelby would be a 50-year-old man in the movie and “I will be there. Let’s do it”.
