Two stars of Irish acting unite in eagerly anticipated film about Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby

Two stars of Irish acting are united as Cillian Murphy meets Barry Keoghan in the first look at the eagerly anticipated Peaky Blinders film.

Murphy questions his identity as “famous gypsy gangster” Tommy Shelby in the 70-second teaser released by Netflix on Christmas Eve.

The film sees Tommy driven back from a self-imposed exile amid the chaos of the second world war. In the trailer, a voiceover says: “Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby? The famous gypsy gangster.”

Shelby says “I’m not that man any more”, and a separate clip shows him walking with his head held down while wearing his distinctive bakerboy cap after a female voice says: “Tommy, you’ve got to come back.”
