Peaky Blinders Movie trailer teases wartime return for Tommy Shelby

The first full trailer for the new peaky blinders movie, The Immortal Man, has been released and shows Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby as he returns to Birmingham in 1940. The peaky blinders movie trailer, which runs slightly more than two minutes, frames that return as a plunge back into a wartime city and a family crisis.

Peaky Blinders Movie: Tommy back from exile in 1940

The trailer presents an older, greying Tommy Shelby driven back from a self-imposed exile to face what the film's press notes call "his most destructive reckoning yet, " with the story set in Birmingham during World War Two. A press-note line in the trailer states, "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. "

Cast additions and returning faces

New cast members seen in the trailer include Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth, while Barry Keoghan appears as Tommy's son, Duke Shelby, who now leads the gang. Sophie Rundle returns as Ada and Stephen Graham also appears again; in the trailer Ferguson warns Tommy that he lives in "a house haunted with ghosts of people who died because of you... " and Ada accuses him, "You abandoned your kingdom and you abandoned your son. " Ada then says, "Your gypsy son is running the Peaky Blinders like it's 1919, all over again. "

Trailer details, awards and what's shown

The clip runs slightly more than two minutes and was released by Netflix as the first full look at The Immortal Man. The trailer highlights Cillian Murphy's return as the flat cap-wearing gang leader and notes Murphy's prior Oscar win for his role in Oppenheimer; it also points out that Barry Keoghan earned an Oscar nomination for The Banshees of Inisherin. The footage concentrates on family confrontation and wartime stakes rather than specific release timing.

The trailer release is the latest public step for The Immortal Man; it confirms the film's wartime setting, key cast moves and the central conflict Tommy faces but does not include further scheduling details for the film's release.
