Cillian Murphy returns as scarred Tommy Shelby for Peaky Blinders
Peaky Blinders followers, prepare for a high-stakes return of Tommy Shelby!
Cillian Murphy was noticed in full character on the enduring Pontcysyllte Aqueduct as filming ramped up for the extremely anticipated function movie, The Immortal Man.
The 48-year-old Oscar-winner, wearing Shelby’s signature overcoat and Baker Boy cap, was joined by co-star Packy Lee, reprising his function as loyal ally Johnny Canines.
The forged and crew introduced the gritty Birmingham-based drama to the scenic heights of north-east Wales on Sunday, with cameras capturing an intense scene aboard a narrowboat navigating the Llangollen Canal.
Including to the drama, Murphy sported a ugly prosthetic scar on his cheek, hinting that Tommy Shelby had discovered himself embroiled in one more violent encounter.
Helicopters circled above as they filmed the daring sequence on the 126-foot-high aqueduct, a Grade I listed marvel and UNESCO World Heritage Web site that provides breathtaking views of the River Dee under.
Followers have been thrilled when the streaming big confirmed the information in June with a sneak peek of the script shared on X (previously Twitter).
Chatting with Deadline, the Oscar-winning actor admitted, “It looks like Tommy Shelby wasn’t completed with me… It is rather gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the movie model of Peaky Blinders. That is one for the followers.”
Director Tom Harper, who helmed episodes of the collection greater than a decade in the past, mirrored on the present’s meteoric rise: “Once I first directed Peaky Blinders, we didn’t know what the collection would turn out to be, however we did know that there was one thing within the alchemy of the forged and the writing that felt explosive.”
With creator Steven Knight, Murphy, and Harper again on the helm, the function movie guarantees to recapture the electrifying magic that turned the TV collection right into a cultural phenomenon.
