Later in the episode, Murphy also talked about the famous haircut his character Tommy sported, a look that became a viral trend. Speaking of it, the 'Oppenheimer' star shared, "I mean, it's so disgusting, really. This story behind that is to prevent lice infestation. You get a 60% better chance of not getting them like this." Along with Murphy, the cast of the film 'The Immortal Man' also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo, Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck.
In a September 2025 interview with ScreenRant, Steven Knight, the creator of 'Peaky Blinders', shared a major update on the status of the upcoming feature film 'The Immortal Man.' Knight said, "There'll be an announcement relatively soon, and I can tell you it's really, really, really brilliant." Up until this moment, the exact release date of the forthcoming film hasn't been revealed.
In an earlier conversation with Netflix, Murphy spoke about the upcoming film, saying, "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.” In the same interview, Knight quipped, “I’m thrilled to see the cameras rolling on this new chapter of the Peaky Blinders story, set during World War II. The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders.”
