The Birmingham gangsters are about to take over the small screen again. Peaky Blinders is returning in a new form- a movie- and fans expect nothing less from the Shelby clan. After months of hearsay, the movie starring Cillian Murphy finally received the green light from the streaming giant Netflix, leaving many burning questions waiting to be answered. One of them is- who else will be featured in the movie alongside the Oscar-winning lead himself?

The edge-of-the-seat drama series has seen many great performances from talented actors. And the upcoming movie is expected to be nothing less when it comes to supporting actors.

There has been no official confirmation about the cast of the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. However, given the conclusion of the series’ last season, there are some obvious choices, including Paul Anderson, Sam Claflin, Amber Anderson, Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham, and Tom Hardy. Most of these actors have either expressed uncertainty about the franchise's direction or eagerness to join the upcoming project.

Even actress Kate Philips has been on record sharing her wish to be in the film. As per some rumors, Rebecca Ferguson is being eyed to star in the movie as well. However, the showrunner Steven Knight is looking forward to surprising people and keep breaking new talent. Therefore, there is a chance that along with the familiar faces, there could be some new actors debuting on the show as well.

What If ‘Peaky Blinders’ Was a Sitcom Instead of a Historical Drama?

One of the potential new faces in the Peaky Blinders movie is already a popular figure in the MCU.

Creator Steven Knight shared in his interview with Heart Breakfast that he will add “some new faces that will hopefully be quite surprising”. And fans were quick to connect the dots with Tom Holland, who is most popular for playing Marvel superhero Spider-Man. At the Peaky Blinders Season 6 premiere in Birmingham, Knight openly invited Holland to be a part of the film. “If he wants to come back for the film, we'll have him,” said the filmmaker. 

Holland previously auditioned for a role in the Peaky Blinders series but was turned down. Therefore, it would not be far-fetched to assume that he would jump on board with the movie if given a shot. Nonetheless, Cillian Murphy is surely to reprise his role in the movie, whether or not the guesses for supporting cast hit the bullseye.
