The clip then cuts to a series of intense and action-packed scenes, showing Tommy and his notorious gang, the Peaky Blinders, taking over the city with their trademark style and ruthlessness. We see glimpses of familiar characters like Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson), Polly Gray (Helen McCrory), and Aunt Polly (Natasha O’Keeffe), along with some new faces that are sure to add more depth to the already intriguing storyline.

Speaking about his return, Murphy said, “I am thrilled to be back as Tommy Shelby and to continue exploring this character in a different format. The film will delve deeper into Tommy’s psyche and his journey to becoming the ‘Immortal Man’ that the title refers to. It’s a great opportunity for me as an actor and I can’t wait for the fans to see it.”
The film is set to pick up right where the series finale left off, with Tommy facing new challenges and enemies as he tries to expand his criminal empire.
