The word is out: the Peaky Blinders movie is finally happening, and this time fans may have more surprises than the return of iconic Tommy Shelby. The lovers of this BBC period drama series are getting impatient for its release after news about an important new addition to its cast.
In an article posted on Thursday, July 25, 2024, Deadline announced that Rebecca Ferguson is going to star alongside Cillian Murphy in the new Peaky Blinders movie.
Rebecca Ferguson has been much admired by fans for her performances in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (2023) and Dune: Pure Two (2024). She has also got positive reviews for her role in the Apple TV+ series Silo since it aired in 2023.
Cillian Murphy has a separate fan base for Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. Moreover, last year, he got an Academy Award for his performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's masterpiece Oppenheimer (2023).

Both talented actors coming together in a spinoff of a much loved period drama would be a treat to watch. But it leaves fans eager about what role Ferguson would be playing in the upcoming spin-off movie.
What role will Rebecca Ferguson play in the Peaky Blinders Movie?
On Thursday, July 25, 2026, the X account of Peaky Blinders, ThePeakyBlinder, announced that Rebecca Fergusson will be joining the new Peaky Blinders movie. It says:
"The word is out... Rebecca Ferguson has been cast in the Peaky Blinders movie."
Fans have had speculations on social media about what role Ferguson could take in the movie. Many are assuming she will reprise the role of Grace. Annabelle Wallis had played the role of Grace Burgess, the spy-turned-love of Tommy.
However, Ferguson taking up the role of Grace is doubtful, as Grace was killed in the third season of the series.
Fans are debating whether they want Grace back in the film, or whether Ferguson should be cast as a different character. But most fans want her to be playing the love interest of Tommy and appreciate the new addition to the cast.

While some predict that she may be the next potential antagonist of the movie, X user @mattyduggan wrote:
"Can’t wait for it now, she’s one brilliant actress and if she is the villain in this she will be brilliant."
According to an article posted on July 25, 2024, by Deadline, she has officially started working on the project, but her role is still not announced. That makes viewers more curious to know which additional stars could be expected in the movie.
What is happening in the Peaky Blinders movie?
