'Silo' Star Rebecca Ferguson Joins the 'Peaky Blinders' Movie
Rumors have been swirling about a Peaky Blinders movie for so long that it's honestly a bit jarring to see the production engine that will return the Shelby family to our screens begin to rumble to life. But, as they say, good things come to those who wait, and fans are finally about to reap the rewards of years of patience. Silo star Rebecca Ferguson is the first high-profile name set to join the film's cast, but it's unlikely that she'll be the last.
Details about who she'll be playing are being kept under wraps, but her addition adds a welcome jolt of fierce female energy to a show that's been missing it since the passing of Helen McCrory, who played the irrepressible Polly Gray. Aside from Ferguson, the film's only other confirmed cast member is Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), who plays family leader, antihero, and general moral disaster Tommy Shelby.
Murphy's involvement has always been taken as read, though --- Peaky doesn't work without Tommy, whose struggles against his better angels and worse demons have always been the heart of the show.
