Cillian Murphy, the acclaimed actor who portrayed the iconic Tommy Shelby in the hit series Peaky Blinders, recently addressed his potential return to the role after the show's sixth and final season. With plans for a spin-off film and other projects in the works, fans have been eagerly awaiting news of Murphy's involvement. In a conversation with BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, the actor shared his thoughts on the matter and left the door open for a potential comeback.
Reflecting on his time on Peaky Blinders, Murphy expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the character of Tommy Shelby if the circumstances were right. He stated, 'If there is more story to tell, and if Stephen Knight delivers a script like I know he can, then I will be there.' Despite his character's conclusion in the series finale and the passage of time, Murphy remains intrigued by the idea of exploring an older Tommy Shelby, saying, 'if we want to watch 50-year-old Tommy Shelby, I will be there. Let's do it.'
