Straight after his Oscar win for best actor, it looks like Cillian Murphy hasn’t forgotten where he came from.
Steven Knight, creator of the beloved crime drama “Peaky Blinders,” told Birmingham World Murphy that he will reprise his role as gang leader Tommy Shelby in the proposed “Peaky Blinders” movie.
“He’s definitely coming back for it,” Knight told the publication. “We’re shooting it in September just down the road in Digbeth.”
CNN has reached out to Murphy’s representatives for comment.
The actor was the darling of this latest awards season for his portrayal of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s film “Oppenheimer”.
“Peaky Blinders” fans had expressed interest on social media as to whether Murphy would return to the role given his big success with “Oppenheimer.”
