Trailer Highlights: Resurrection, Revenge, Razor Blades
Opens with 1920s Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) gunned down execution-style—confirming his “dead” status from Season 6. Lightning strikes his grave during freak storm, unearthing a decayed corpse that regenerates before our eyes. Murphy’s scarred, feral Shelby awakens with glowing razorblade tattoos pulsing across his chest.
Quick cuts show immortal Tommy slaughtering Peaky rivals, IRA assassins, and shadowy occultists hunting his “deal with the devil.” Signature flat-cap silhouette walks through machine-gun fire unscathed. Voiceover whispers, “They killed the man. But the demon lives.”
Tommy Shelby’s Supernatural Origin Story
Flashbacks reveal 1890s young Tommy (newcomer Barry Keoghan) making blood pact with Romani witch during Gypsy camp ritual. The “Immortal Man” curse grants invincibility but demands yearly child sacrifices—explaining Shelby family tragedies. Trailer confirms Arthur (Paul Anderson) and Ada (Sophie Rundle) hunt their undead brother to “end the curse forever.”
New villain: Alfie Solomons’ son (Tom Hardy in dual role) leads razor cult worshiping Tommy as dark messiah. Supernatural razorblades multiply like locusts, slicing enemies mid-sentence.
Cillian Murphy Leads Epic Ensemble
