Peaky Blinders movie has been a long time coming, and Cillian Murphy will be surrounded by an A-list cast once it finally sees the light of day. Tim Roth is the latest high-profile star to join this project, which will also star Rebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan.

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is returning as the mastermind behind this film, which will continue the tale of Tommy Shelby and his Birmingham crime gang. He promised it would be another explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story with no holds barred, teasing “full-on Peaky Blinders at war.” 

This won’t mark the first collaboration between Roth and Murphy. Peaky Blinders movie reunites them over a decade after they led the British coming-of-age drama Broken. They’ll be joined by Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Mission Impossible) and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) in this project, while the rest of the cast is yet to be announced.

Tim Roth is best known as the star of Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, who most recently appeared in TV shows Twin Peaks, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Tiny Beautiful Things. He has several new movies on the way, including the thrillers Classified, Tornado, and Killing Faith.
