A new image of Barry Keoghan and Cillian Murphy in the upcoming Peaky Blinders film has been released as the two Irish actors wrap production.

Keoghan, famed for Saltburn and The Banshees Of Inisherin, is playing an undisclosed role in the film, which is believed to be titled The Immortal Man and is set following the events of sixth season of the original BBC show.

On Thursday, Netflix wrote on X: “That’s a wrap. The Peaky Blinders film has completed production.”

Oscar winner Murphy, 48, is seen as Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby with a flat cap smiling opposite Keoghan, who is dressed in a grey suit and similar hat.

Written by creator Steven Knight, the new movie is set during the Second World War, and is teased to involve new conflicts for the Shelby family.

When the series came to an end in 2022 after nine years, Tommy appeared to put his criminal past behind him.

The series has tackled the rise of fascism, Irish republican politics and communist activities throughout the period after the First World War – along with Tommy’s ambitions in politics.

Returning cast includes British actors Stephen Graham as union organiser Hayden Stagg and Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, while Dune actress Rebecca Ferguson and Pulp Fiction actor Tim Roth have also joined for the film.

Knight told Netflix’s Tudum site: “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”

Cork-born Murphy, also known for 28 Days Later and Batman Begins, won the best actor Academy Award for blockbuster Oppenheimer earlier this year.

In 2023, Dublin native Keoghan was Oscar nominated for The Banshees Of Inisherin and picked up a best supporting actor Bafta for the same film.

The 32-year-old is also known for The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, war blockbuster Dunkirk and Marvel film Eternals.
