The first image from the movie Peaky Blinders has been released by Netflix. During the production process of the Peaky Blinders movie, they also shared the first look of Tommy Shelby’s character.
Peaky Blinders is an original series that airs on the Netflix streaming platform. Released from 2013 to 2022, the series has produced six highly acclaimed seasons. Fans are actually eagerly awaiting the continuation of the new season of Peaky Blinders. However, it turns out that season 7 was never Netflix produced.
After that, Netflix announced that there would be a follow-up movie to Peaky Blinders. The movie is being directed by Tom Harper and Steven Knight as the screenwriter. In this movie, there will be a returning lead actor, Cillian Murphy, as well as new faces in the franchise such as Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, and Tim Roth.
1. Tommy Shelby is a Little Different in the First Look of Peaky Blinders Movie
Now, with production underway, Netflix has released the first look at Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. Cillian’s appearance still maintains the character’s trademark, which is wearing a dark suit. However, the striking difference is seen in the color of his hair. In the series itself, Tommy has black hair.
In the first look, it can be seen that Shelby’s hair has color in the front. In addition to showing the first look of Cillian Murphy, Netflix also shared a photo of the actor sitting with series creator Steven Knight.
Netflix captioned the photos with “By order of Peaky Blinders… Tommy Shelby is back.”
2. Plot Details and Release Date Still Vague
While the news about the start of production on Peaky Blinders is exciting, the information revealed about the movie is still very limited in the photo. First of all, the image features only one person, Cillian Murphy, with no other actors in the movie adaptation.
While it’s nice to see Murphy back in the role of Tommy Shelby, for viewers who are familiar with Peaky Blinders, the actor’s performance is nothing new.
Aside from not including any of the other actors from Peaky Blinders in the picture, Netflix’s announcement also left the storyline of Peaky Blinders vague.
However, Steven Knight has revealed in an interview that the movie he is working on will be set in World War II. In the movie, we will witness Peaky Blinders’ role in the event.
In addition, it is reported that some of the cast members from the Peaky Blinders series will be returning to play their old characters in the movie. However, with production now underway, we can expect more exciting news from the filmmaking process to emerge.
The movie still needs to undergo filming, promotion, and post-production processes, so the likely release date in 2025 will be in the second half of the year. For now, we will have to wait for more information regarding this movie project.
