Cillian Murphy has officially bowed out of his frontline role as Tommy Shelby in the Peaky Blinders franchise with the Birmingham-based blockbuster The Immortal Man.

The film transports us into the throes of World War Two, with regular faces from the TV series like Cillian, Stephen Graham and surprise returnee Sophie Rundle joined by a collection of new characters as they navigate Nazi plots and gangland Birmingham.

If you thought a few of the new additions looked familiar, here’s where you might have seen them…

One of the biggest stars of the moment, you’re probably most likely to know Barry Keoghan from his major breakthrough as bathtub-lurking wrong’un Oliver Quick in Saltburn.

He’s also starred in critically acclaimed films like The Banshees Of Inisherin (which landed him a Bafta award and an Oscar nomination), The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, Dunkirk, Bird and Bring Them Down.

Barry’s also no stranger to portraying a gangster, having also played one in the TV series Top Boy, while you might have also caught him in acclaimed miniseries Chernobyl.

Pop fans might also recognise him from his cameo in Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please music video, filmed when the pair were dating.

Finally, if you have seen pictures of Barry with a Ringo ’do or moustache doing the rounds, that’s because he’s set to appear as the Beatles drummer in Sam Mendes’ upcoming musical biopic films.

Rebecca Ferguson has been a regular fixture on the big screen in both Sweden and Hollywood since her breakout as Ilsa Faust in Mission: Impossible, in which she starred opposite Tom Cruise.

Since then, Rebecca has appeared in the likes of Florence Foster Jenkins, The Girl On The Train, The Greatest Showman, Doctor Sleep, Dune and A House Of Dynamite.

TV fans might recognise her from BBC’s 2013 historical drama The White Queen, Apple TV+ sci-fi series Silo or The Red Tent.

Tim Roth is part of the “Brit pack” of British actors who broke into Hollywood in the 1980s.

Well-known for his collaborations with Quentin Tarantino – in films including Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and The Hateful Eight – he also picked up a Bafta win, and an Oscar nomination, for his role in Rob Roy.

His TV breakthrough came when he played the teen racist skinhead Trevor in Alan Clarke’s Made In Britain, after which he went on to appear in series like Twin Peaks: The Return, Tin Star and Last King Of The Cross.

DC Comics fans will recognise Jay Lycurgo for his work in the TV series Titans, in which he played Robin, but interestingly he also had a small role in the Robert Pattinson movie The Batman, too.

His other TV work has included I May Destroy You, Cheaters and Netflix’s The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.

On the big screen, Jay appeared in another of Cillian Murphy’s projects, Steve, for which he won a British Independent Film Award.

Like Jay, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis appeared in Cillian Murphy’s Steve before being cast in the Peaky Blinders film.

She previously appeared in Apple TV+’s The Greatest Beer Run Ever, portrayed a younger version of Susan Lynch character in the hard-hitting drama National Treasure and played Amy Robsart in the historical drama Becoming Elizabeth.

Oh, and if you’re wondering about that surname, yes, Ruby is the daughter of fellow actors Andy Serkis and Lorraine Ashbourne, sharing the screen with her dad in the 2020 Netflix series The Letter For The King.

Before landing the role of Virgil in The Immortal Man, Thomas Arnold’s film work included bit parts in The Golden Compass, Netflix’s Matilda: The Musical, The Aeronauts and 2010’s Robin Hood.

As well as his five-episode stint in Wolf Hall as Hans Holbein, Thomas’ TV work has included everything from War & Peace and A Very Royal Scandal to Call The Midwife and The Missing.
