Irish actor Barry Keoghan has officially joined the ‘Peaky Blinders’ universe.

On Friday, Netflix unveiled the first look at the ‘Saltburn’ actor in the upcoming movie spinoff of the popular gangster series.

While fans are buzzing with excitement over the first look, details about Keoghan’s character and the specifics of his role in the film remain under wraps.

This marks the first time Barry Keoghan will enter the world of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ He will be collaborating with fellow Irish actor Cillian Murphy, who is returning to reprise his iconic role as Tommy Shelby, the fierce leader of the Peaky Blinders gang.
