As the world teeters on the brink of World War II, the Shelby gang is gearing up for a new adventure. After six seasons of thrilling escapades on Netflix, the beloved British gangster drama is getting a movie makeover. And, yes, Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy Shelby, the gang's fearless leader.

The photos released by Netflix show Murphy chatting with creator Steven Knight on set, as well as in character as Tommy Shelby, brooding in his signature style. The atmosphere is electric, with the promise of action-packed moments and heart-stopping drama.

Joining Murphy for this cinematic ride are Oscar-nominated Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tim Roth. But, regrettably, Paul Anderson, who played Tommy's hot-headed brother Arthur, will not be reprising his role. The reason lies in Anderson's recent struggles with drug possession.

Meanwhile, fans are still waiting with bated breath to see if Tom Hardy will return as the eccentric Jewish gangster Alfie Solomons. The Shelby family's lovable but troubled matriarch, Polly, will also be missed, given the passing of Helen McCrory, who played the role.

The Peaky Blinders franchise has gained a massive following, with its unique blend of crime drama, historical context, and memorable characters. The show's creator, Steven Knight, has masterfully woven a compelling narrative that has captured the hearts of many. Cillian Murphy, too, has been instrumental in bringing Tommy Shelby to life, and his dedication to the role has earned him critical acclaim.

The Peaky Blinders movie promises to be an action-packed thrill ride, with the Shelby gang navigating the treacherous world of post-World War I era Birmingham, England. With its rich tapestry of characters, intricate plotlines, and high-stakes drama, this cinematic adventure is sure to captivate audiences worldwide.
