Barry Keoghan Leads Peaky Blinders in The Immortal Man
Barry Keoghan is taking over as the new leader of the Peaky Blinders in a new movie called The Immortal Man.
This movie is about the Shelby family, who are a group of criminals in Birmingham during World War II.
The story follows Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, as he comes back from hiding to face big challenges.
Barry Keoghan feels a bit nervous about saying the famous Peaky Blinders line, 'By order of the Peaky Blinders,' because he thinks it's such an important line.
The movie will be on Netflix in 2026 and in some theaters earlier that year.
Other actors like Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth are also in the movie.
Barry Keoghan stars as the new Peaky Blinders boss in The Immortal Man, set in 1940s Birmingham during WWII.
The film is written by Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, with Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby.
Keoghan expressed discomfort about using the iconic Peaky Blinders catchphrase, feeling he hasn't earned the right to say it.
The movie will be released on Netflix on 20 March, 2026, and in select theaters on 6 March, 2026.
Other cast members include Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, and Stephen Graham.
