Barry Keoghan seen for FIRST time on set of the Peaky Blinders movie
by Amelia Wynne For Mailonline · Mail OnlineBarry Keoghan was seen for the first time on the set of the Peaky Blinders movie in Yorkshire on Friday.
The actor, 32, was shooting scenes alongside co-stars Sophie Rundle And Tim Roth, though little is known about his character yet.
The Saltburn star looked every inch the Peaky Blinder in a flat cap, grey suit and overcoat.
The Birmingham-based movie will follow the infamous Shelby family into the Second World War following six successful series on the BBC.
Barry was seen closely following Sophie into a building in Bradford as cameras rolled on the hotly anticipated movie.
Sophie, 36, who is reprising the role of Ada Shelby, wore a red coat and skirt with matching lipstick and hat.
Peaky Blinders newcomer Tim Roth was spotted arriving at the building carrying a gun before emerging with the leather bag Ada was carrying on the way in.
Main lead Cillian Murphy has been seen in recent weeks filming the project in Birmingham.
The lead actor, 48, was seen covered in mud and sporting a bloody gash on his face while riding a horse as he resumed his iconic role of Tommy Shelby for the upcoming film last week.
The Oscar winner played the gangster in the multi-award-winning BBC series from 2013 to 2022 and is now back for a big screen outing, alongside new cast members Barry, Rebecca Ferguson and Tim.
Little is known about the plot but Steven Knight also returns as writer alongside the Tom Harper who directed episodes of the show's first series at the helm.
Last month it was announced that Saltburn star Barry had joined the cast, but details of his character have not yet been revealed.
Barry has had an impressive career over the past few years starring in Saltburn, Top Boy and The Banshees of Inisherin.
Netflix announced in June 2024 that the feature film had been greenlit and would go into production later this year.
In June it was confirmed that the Peaky Blinders' original writing and directing team will be returning alongside Cillian for the Netflix film adaptation of the hit British series.
Netflix confirmed the news on X with a photograph of the script, while the Oscar winning actor told Deadline: 'It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me…
'It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.'

Peaky Blinders movie FIRST LOOK: Cillian Murphy returns as filming officially begins
Director Tom shared: 'When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn't know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive.
'Peaky has always been a story about family - and so it's incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix.'
Peaky Blinders launched in 2013 and garnered huge audiences both in Britain and overseas, attracting roles for silver-screen stars such as Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The programme is loosely based on a real Birmingham gang of the same name operating from the 1880s to the 1920s who took part in similar illegal activities.
Peaky Blinders aired six series over nine years and ended with Tommy, who had been tricked into believing he had a terminal illness, surviving an assassination attempt orchestrated by his own nephew before killing him and moving away for a new life.
But the news sparks concerns for the welfare of Paul Anderson who plays Cillian's older brother in the show, Arthur Shelby, after he pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine earlier this year.
The 46-year-old was also found to have amphetamines, plus diazepam and pregabalin on him.
His continued erratic behaviour in recent months has prompted concern for his welfare.
