Cillian Murphy is truly an immortal man in our eyes, and that’s fitting, because we’ve just had a look at his next movie, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the long-awaited feature film continuation of Steven Knight’s hit crime drama. Empire Magazine has posted a first-look image at Murphy in the film and he’s ON A HORSE! The horse plays nicely into the storyline, too, as Murphy explains.

“I loved that beautiful ambiguity of him riding off on the horse, and he’s gone, and we don’t know where he’s gone to, but he’s back in the Gypsy world,” Murphy told Empire. “Now here he is existing in whatever way that he can against the backdrop of World War II. That’s very elegant bookmarking of a story.”

The film is set at the height of the Second World War in Birmingham, England, and thrusts Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby into his toughest challenge to date. With the future of his family and the nation hanging in the balance, Tommy will face a reckoning — confront the legacy he built with his own hands, or destroy it once and for all. The official synopsis states:

Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinders…

The film features Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, A House of Dynamite), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight), Sophie Rundle (Gentleman Jack, After the Flood), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) and Stephen Graham (Boiling Point, Adolescence), alongside Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, and Jay Lycurgo.

Will There Be More ‘Peaky Blinders’?

The Immortal Man won’t be the only slice of Peaky pie we’ll be getting. A sequel series to the main show has also been approved, which sees Murphy return as executive producer, with Knight in charge of the series. The synopsis for the sequel is as follows:

“Britain, 1953. After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel. In a new era of Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders, the race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger, with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.”

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man hits theaters March 6 and Netflix March 20, 2026.
