2026 has seen Cillian Murphy return to the most iconic role of his career, and it’s not the one that won him his first Oscar. The role in question is Tommy Shelby, who he first played for six seasons on Peaky Blinders, the hit Netflix crime series that returned earlier this year with the sequel film, The Immortal Man. Even before the premiere of the Peaky Blinders spin-off film, though, Murphy featured in one of the best horror movies of the year, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Murphy didn’t show up as Jim until the end of the film, but it’s expected that he will have a key role in the final installment in the trilogy, which has not yet begun filming. After his Oscar win a few years ago for his performance in Oppenheimer, Murphy has quietly solidified his status as one of the most talented actors working in Hollywood.
