Peaky Blinders movie casts Barry Keoghan alongside Cillian Murphy
The Saltburn star also joins Rebecca Ferguson in the cast for the highly anticipated follow-up film.
The Peaky Blinders movie continues to gather its cast, and while confirmed actors are still thin on the ground, one major star has just been added – Barry Keoghan.
Keoghan – who has recently starred in films such as Saltburn and The Banshees of Inisherin, as well as the series Masters of the Air – will feature alongside the already announced Rebecca Ferguson, as well as the returning Cillian Murphy.
Neither Ferguson's nor Keoghan's character has yet been revealed, and we are still awaiting news of any returning characters beyond Murphy's Tommy Shelby.
As has already been announced, the film, written by Steven Knight, will go into production later this year, and will be directed by Tom Harper.
When the film was first confirmed, Knight said: "I’m genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen. It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full on Peaky Blinders at war."

Earlier this year, the writer said that he expected the film to go into production in September, suggesting more announcements could be just around the corner.
Knight said at the time: "I think the film is gonna be a step up again, and it’s gonna be great that Peaky fans can meet in one place and watch it. The budget will be bigger, but also because we know we’re ending this chapter, we’re all going to try to do our best. Cillian is really up for it. So I can’t wait for it to start shooting."

The film might not even be the only project Peaky Blinders fans can get excited about.
It has previously been reported that Netflix, which is behind the film, is also looking to produce multiple spin-off series to the original show, including one set in Boston in the middle of the 20th century, and another focusing on Polly Gray, the character played by the late Helen McCrory.
