Article Summary
\nPeaky Blinders: The Immortal Man brings Tommy Shelby back to Birmingham as World War II erupts.
\nSteven Knight says the film acts as the \u201clast few chapters\u201d of Tommy Shelby\u2019s epic story arc.
\nCillian Murphy praises the elegant, open-ended setup for Tommy\u2019s dramatic return to the Peaky world.
\nThe film explores Tommy Shelby\u2019s legacy as he faces personal demons and his greatest reckoning yet. <\/p>\n

The “last few chapters” of Steven Knight’s\u00a0Cillian Murphy (reprising his role as Thomas “Tommy” Shelby)-starring Peaky Blinders are set to be told this March when “The Immortal Man” hits both theaters and Netflix. Set in Birmingham in 1940, amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy finds himself driven back from a self-imposed exile (“dragged back in by circumstance”: Knight) to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons and choose whether to confront his legacy or burn it to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinder. To give you a sense of what you can expect, Knight and Murphy discuss the film continuation of the hit series (and we have new images that were released by the streaming service).<\/p>\n

“I hope it feels like the end of a novel,” Knight shared with Empire. “It’s the last few chapters of a long novel, where you get to round it off. And prepare people for what comes next.” As for Tommy’s return, Murphy shared how he appreciated the way the series finale kept his fate open-ended and how it’s a perfect set-up for his return. “I loved that beautiful ambiguity of him riding off on the horse, and he’s gone, and we don’t know where he’s gone to, but he’s back in the Gypsy world,” added Murphy. “Now here he is existing in whatever way that he can against the backdrop of World War II. That’s very elegant bookmarking of a story.”<\/p>\n
