Cillian Murphy’s Big Comeback!

Tommy Shelby Rides Again!

Fans of the hit series “Peaky Blinders” are jumping for joy because Cillian Murphy is coming back to play the legendary Tommy Shelby in the much-anticipated movie version of the show. Cillian, who’s 47, has wowed audiences as the smart and tough Tommy in the BBC series from 2013 to 2022. And now, the big news is out: he’s stepping into Tommy’s shoes once more for a film that’s expected to start filming later this year.

Steven Knight, the genius behind “Peaky Blinders,” spilled the beans while at the premiere of his new show in Birmingham. He confirmed that Cillian is “definitely” on board for the film, which might take us to the times of the Second World War. Filming kicks off in September right in the heart of Digbeth.

Fans Can’t Keep Calm!

Social media is buzzing with excitement. “This is a must tbh. Wouldn’t be the same without him,” says one fan. “I am so excited. This news made my day,” shares another. The enthusiasm is through the roof with comments like “Can’t wait,” “Excellent news!” and “Finally it’s happening.” One fan sums it up perfectly: “This is gonna be so good.”

The Return We Hoped For

Rumors have been swirling since Cillian was spotted with Steven Knight earlier in the year, and fans were keeping their fingers crossed for his return. Cillian himself hinted at his openness to reprise his iconic role, despite the perfect ambiguity of the series’ ending. “I’m totally open to the idea but y’know I also do think it was a kind of perfect six seasons,” he told Margot Robbie in a chat for Variety.

Cillian Murphy: Oscar Winner and Beyond

The timing couldn’t be better, as Cillian Murphy just bagged an Oscar for his role in “Oppenheimer.” Competing against big names like Bradley Cooper and Jeffrey Wright, Cillian’s win has been a topic of pride. Steven Knight didn’t hold back in praising him, calling him “brilliant” and “such a great person.”

So, buckle up, “Peaky Blinders” fans! Tommy Shelby is coming back, and it’s going to be an epic ride.
