By order of the Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy has said he’s “open” to a spinoff movie.
Despite the actors’ strike, which has since been resolved, Cillian Murphy has been busy this year amid the release of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, in which he portrayed the titular physicist.
Prior to his impeccable work as the father of the atomic bomb, Murphy gained notoriety for his role in the hit BBC period drama series Peaky Blinders as Tommy Shelby, the leader of the Birmingham gang.
Although creator Steven Knight made the decision to end the series with Season 6, which dropped last year, there’s been much speculation as to whether Peaky Blinders would get a movie.
Cillian Murphy is “open” to Peaky Blinders return
If you’re hoping for Peaky Blinders to return, we’ve got good news for you, as Murphy is “open” to the idea of a spinoff movie.
The topic of conversation came up in a new Variety interview that brings together the two faces of the Barbenheimer phenomenon: Murphy and Margot Robbie.
As an avid fan of Peaky Blinders, the Barbie star took the opportunity to ask Murphy if there’s going to be a spinoff movie, to which he replies: “I’m open to the idea.”

“I’ve always thought that if there’s more story to tell,” he continues, at which point Robbie interjects: “Of course there’s more story to tell.”
Although he’s up for it, the Oppenheimer star did point out: “I also do think it was a perfect six seasons… it’s sometimes hard to move into the film format, and I do like the ambiguity of the ending. But I’m always open to a great script.”
So, you never know – Peaky Blinders might go down the same route as Luther and bring out a film. If it does ever happen, it seems like Tommy’s down.
