Peaky Blinders Movie trailer shows Tommy Shelby's return and showdown with his son
The first full trailer for the Peaky Blinders Movie, The Immortal Man, lands with a clear promise: Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby returns from exile and must confront a new, violent threat embodied by his grown illegitimate son, Duke Shelby, played by Barry Keoghan.
Peaky Blinders Movie: trailer details and new casting
The trailer sets the film in Birmingham amid World War II and makes several concrete revelations. Murphy reprises his role as a greying, older-looking Tommy Shelby who is "driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. " Barry Keoghan appears as Duke Shelby, Tommy's illegitimate son who now runs the Peaky Blinders gang and is portrayed as a menacing, all-in leader. New additions to the ensemble include Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth, while familiar faces such as Sophie Rundle and Stephen Graham return to the family fold.
Family war and wartime stakes
The trailer frames the conflict as both personal and national. Ada Shelby, played by Sophie Rundle, bluntly tells Tommy that "Your gypsy son is running the Peaky Blinders like it's 1919, all over again, " setting up the central familial clash. Rebecca Ferguson's character warns Tommy to face his demons "for the sake of his family and country, " and Tommy's return is described in press material as a choice between confronting his legacy or burning it to the ground. The film repeatedly positions the fate of the family and the country as intertwined.
New alliances, treachery and the city's future
The trailer also hints at larger political danger: Tim Roth plays a polished English officer figure who privately asks Duke if he will become a traitor and help Germany during the war. At the same time, the Peaky Blinders are shown terrorizing England as the nation reels from wartime upheaval. Direction is credited to Tom Harper, and the film's promotional material underscores that Tommy must "remind everyone who he is" and take a stand to save his city. The film is set to release on March 20 (ET).
Between the casting of Barry Keoghan as Duke, the return of Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby, Sophie Rundle's blunt framing of the son-led gang, and the revelation of an offer of treachery from Roth's character, the trailer lays out a clear battle line: a Peaky Blinders Movie that centers on a father compelled to reclaim his legacy amid wartime chaos.
