Peaky Blinders Movie trailer teases Tommy Shelby’s wartime reckoning
The first full trailer for the new peaky blinders movie, The Immortal Man, was released by Netflix and shows Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby returning to Birmingham during World War Two, setting up a family confrontation with new cast additions including Barry Keoghan and Rebecca Ferguson.
Peaky Blinders Movie brings an older Tommy back to 1940 Birmingham
The trailer opens on a greying, older-looking Tommy Shelby driven back from a self-imposed exile to face what the film’s press notes call "his most destructive reckoning yet. " Cillian Murphy, who won the Oscar for his previous role as Oppenheimer, reprises the flat cap-wearing gang leader as the story moves to Birmingham in 1940 amid the destruction of World War Two.
New cast and a fraught family reunion
Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan joins the cast as Duke Shelby, presented in the trailer as Tommy’s illegitimate firstborn son who now runs the Peaky Blinders. Rebecca Ferguson’s character warns Tommy the house is "haunted with ghosts of people who died because of you, " and Ada, played again by Sophie Rundle, tells him: "Your gypsy son is running the Peaky Blinders like it's 1919, all over again. " The trailer frames Duke as needing to be set on the right path and shows Tommy forced into family reckonings he had tried to leave behind.
Betrayal, an English officer and the stakes for family and country
Tim Roth appears in the trailer as an English gentleman officer who, in secret, asks Duke Shelby if he is willing to become a traitor and help the Nazis. The press notes underline the scope of the conflict: "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. " Stephen Graham also returns in the cast, reinforcing the film’s link to the TV drama ensemble.
The trailer makes clear the storyline will mix personal and national stakes — Tommy’s choices are framed as having consequences for both his bloodline and the wider war effort — and it leans heavily on the series’ trademark moral turmoil and violent confrontations shown in the footage.
Netflix released the first full trailer and the accompanying press notes that set the film in 1940 Birmingham and outline the central conflict; further distribution or release dates were not detailed in those notes.
