Tim Roth and Rebecca Ferguson also join the cast, expanding the film’s roster and continuing to develop the Peaky Blinders world, as noted by Hollywood Reporter. Their involvement reflects the movie’s aim to deepen the series’ complicated character dynamics in a feature-length format.
Tom Hardy makes a return in a cut version titled The Immortal Man, which introduces a divisive twist that has sparked mixed reactions among fans, according to Screen Rant.
