Murphy admitted that fans frequently ask him about the return of Peaky Blinders, even during promotional events for other films like Oppenheimer. “The question I get asked the most is, ‘When are you doing a Peaky Blinders movie?’” he shared with a laugh.

The series ended on a high note, with what Murphy described as a “clever and ambiguous” finale. This posed a challenge for the creators, as they wanted to ensure that the movie builds on the series without diminishing its legacy.

The actor said it took a significant amount of time to develop a strong story that could stand on its own. The team wanted the movie to feel distinct and cinematic, rather than simply extending the series. “We can’t make the movie just for the sake of it,” Murphy emphasized. He also added that they now have a “killer script” and he’s confident fans will be satisfied.

Murphy is determined to deliver a film that appeals to longtime fans of the show while also attracting new viewers. He stressed that it’s essential for the movie to elevate the story beyond the series. “You don’t want people saying, ‘Just watch the TV show.’ It has to take things to another level,” he explained.

In addition to working on the Peaky Blinders movie, Murphy is busy producing and starring in the film Small Things Like These through his new production company, Big Things Films. The film follows Bill Furlong, a father of five and coal merchant, who fights against systemic abuse while protecting a young girl.

The untitled Peaky Blinders movie aims to continue the show’s legacy while offering something fresh and exciting. With Cillian Murphy’s passion and dedication, fans are eagerly waiting to see what’s in store for the Shelby family in their next chapter.
