Cillian Murphy has again spoken about the possibility of a Peaky Blinders movie when the series has finished.
Last year, series creator Steven Knight told Digital Spy that there had been discussions about a possible movie adaptation, with Murphy later calling it "kind of a sexy idea" and he's now hinted he'd be up for it.
"I think Steve [Knight] has some ideas. You'd have to be careful, but I'd be curious to do it," he told Esquire.
Maybe Murphy's Tommy Shelby will finally get the time to eat something after he referred to the fan theory recently. He joked: "Over the whole four seasons so far, we never see Tom Shelby eat – a morsel never enters his mouth!"
"He is all-consuming and obviously the nature of television – being that you are shooting so many episodes and so many setups per day and you have so many lines to learn – means that it does take over your life, but in a brilliant way."
The first trailer for Peaky Blinders series four dropped last month and hinted at a major character death.
What to Read Next
We also got our first synopsis from the BBC with the series opening with Tommy receiving a mysterious letter on Christmas Eve which tells him that the Peaky Blinders are in "danger of annihilation".
"As the enemy closes in, Shelby flees his country house and returns to the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham where a fight for survival begins," it read.
Peaky Blinders returns to BBC Two soon.
