Rebecca Ferguson to star alongside Cillian Murphy in upcoming Peaky Blinders film
While plot details and further casting has yet to be confirmed, production is set to commence later this year.
Netflix today announced that Mission: Impossible and Dune star Rebecca Ferguson will join Oscar winner Cillian Murphy in the highly-anticipated Peaky Blinders film.
The news comes just a month after the streaming platform confirmed the lauded series would receive a full-length film sequel.
While the movie has been described as a "continuation" of the series which saw Cillian as Shelby, the waro hero turned Birmingham gangster who worked his way up the gangland ladder, plot details are kept strictly under wraps so far, along with Ferguson's role.
What we do know, however, is that the film will be set during World War II and will see Cillian reprise his role of the Brum mobster Tommy Shelby.

The series finale saw Tommy find out that the doctor who diagnosed him with brain cancer was lying, as part of a ploy against the Shelby family with fascist leader Oswald Mosley.
The ending left many fans wondering why Tommy, a notoriously relentless chap, decided to spare his enemy's life, so perhaps the film will provide answers to such cliffhangers.
Speaking to Deadline earlier this summer, Murphy said of the role reprisal: "It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me…It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans."
