Netflix UK & Ireland wrote in a statement alongside a picture of Rebecca Ferguson on Thursday; “NEWS: Rebecca Ferguson will join Cillian Murphy in the upcoming Peaky Blinders film!”
Last month, it was revealed that Netflix had given the green light for a Peaky Blinders movie. When the news of the film was announced, Murphy joked, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me …”
Tom Harper will direct, with a script by the show's creator, Steven Knight. The movie will be produced by Caryn Mandabach, Knight, Murphy, and Guy Heeley, and will be made in association with BBC Film.
Executive producers include Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren, and David Mason. While the plot is under wraps, Knight mentioned earlier that the movie will be set during World War II. Filming is expected to start this year.
The movie is based on the popular series where Murphy plays Thomas Shelby, a war hero who becomes a gangster in 1900s Birmingham. The film is said to continue the series, but the plot details and Ferguson's role are being kept secret.
Ferguson recently reprised her role as Lady Jessica in Dune: Part Two, which grossed $712 million worldwide. She is also known for starring alongside Tom Cruise in three Mission: Impossible films, including last summer’s Dead Reckoning – Part One.
