Mission: Impossible and Dune star Rebecca Ferguson is joining Cillian Murphy in Netflix‘s Peaky Blinders movie.
Netflix greenlit the movie based on the beloved series that stars Murphy as Thomas Shelby, the war hero turned gangster who works his way up in the world of crime in 1900s Birmingham. While the film is described as a “continuation” of the series, plot details are being kept under wraps, along with Ferguson’s role.
When the project was announced, Muphy said in a statement, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me …”
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight penned the screenplay. Tom Harper, who directed episodes in the series’ first season, is set to helm the film.
Knight will co-produce alongside Caryn Mandabach, Murphy and Guy Heeley. It will be made in association with BBC Film.
Ferguson was most recently in theaters with the second installment in the Dune franchise. Up next is the second season of the Apple sci-fi series Silo and sci-fi thriller Mercy for Amazon MGM that will see her star opposite Chris Pratt.
