Peaky Blinders movie gives first look at Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby, gets exciting production update

While months back it seemed that the talks about a Peaky Blinders movie had grown cold, things have changed quickly and well for the fans of the cult television series featuring Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy. As per the latest development, the Netflix movie, which will serve as a sequel to the series that concluded in 2022, has already begun production today.

Apart from the exciting update on the production process, Netflix has also released a first-look photo of Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby, who looks much older and a bit different from his television show counterpart. Netflix also posted a photo of Steven Knight, the creator of the original series, with Murphy on the sets.

Most of the details about the Peaky Blinders movie remain under wraps as of now. Perhaps the only thing that was actively revealed was its timeframe, which happens to be the Second World War. This movie is also set to conclude Shelby's story and give closure to every other plotline that the series did not resolve.

Social media platforms buzz with excitement as Tommy Shelby's first look from Peaky Blinders movie drops

Peaky Blinders is arguably one of the most anticipated movies right now, primarily because of the pre-existing fanbase of the series that concluded in 2022. Moreover, Tommy Shelby seems to be one of the most beloved and recognized characters in recent television history.

The first look of Cillian Murphy in his signature costume and haircut made fans buzz with excitement all across social media platforms. Some fans replied to Netflix's post expressing their excitement.

"That’s exciting news! Tommy Shelby always brings the drama. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us this time!"- one user wrote, for instance.

"Netflix has been on a roll lately."- another fan added.

Such encouraging reactions would do a great job in promoting the movie when it does come. However, as it is a Netflix release, fans will never really have the opportunity to watch Thomas Shelby on the big screen.
