In addition to some familiar faces, the movie, which takes place during World War II, is expected to feature a number of new characters, many of whom have remained shrouded in mystery.
Netflixnow shares a new image from thePeaky Blindersmovie, unveiling Keoghan’s character for the first time. Though the character’s name still remains a mystery,the image shows Keoghan wearing a leather jacket and leaning out the window from behind the wheel of a truck. The background of the image suggests the character is in an industrial, factory-like setting, which could suggest he’s some kind of truck driver, perhaps for Shelby’s gang. Check out the image below:

What Other Confirmed Cast Members He Could Be Interacting With
Though nothing has been confirmed just yet,the image could suggest that Shelby will have another ally in Keoghan’s character. Beyond the World War II setting, very little is known about the movie’s actual plot, but the timeline does put the storyline at least 6 years after theend ofPeaky Blindersseason 6, which took place in 1933.Two images of Murphyon the film’s set were previously released, but neither revealed too much. The one of him in character as Tommy for example, had a backdrop of a brick wall.
Peaky Blinders' Movie Is Continuing A Cillian Murphy Trend That Defined Two Of His Best Movies
Cillian Murphy is set to star in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, which is following in the footsteps of two of the actor’s best movies.
Other additions to the film include Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, and Jay Lycurgo, but familiarPeaky Blinderscastmembers like Stephen Graham (Hayden Stagg), Sophie Rundle (Ada Thorne), Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs), Ned Dennehy (Charlie Strong), and Ian Peck (Curly) are also returning. If Keoghan’s character does end up serving as a new member of Shelby’s crew, he’ll likely be interacting with a number of fan-favorites and adding new dimensions to familiar character dynamics.
Keoghan hasn’t let slip any details about hisPeaky Blinderscharacter, buthe did tellIndieWire: “I read the script and loved it and have chatted to Cillian about it and it’s going to be epic.”
Our Take On Keoghan’s New Character In The Peaky Blinders Movie
Keoghan Characters Often Have One Important Trait
Keoghan has quickly become a particularly exciting young actor in Hollywood, showing off his range in movies likeEternals(2021),The Green Knight(2021),The Banshees of Inisherin(2022), andSaltburn(2023).One common aspect of characters he plays, however, is a certain level of deviousness or mischief, which can be sinister or more comedic. This could suggest that, if Keoghan’s character starts off as an ally to Tommy, there may be more to him than initially meets the eye.
Hopefully, the new image of Keoghan means a trailer for thePeaky Blindersmovie will be arriving before the end of the year. The film doesn’t yet have a release date but is expected to drop on Netflix in 2025, meaning footage and more information could arrive over the next few months.
