Cillian Murphy, who plays Thomas Shelby, announced on the Graham Norton Show that a movie based on the "Sharpie" universe will be released next year. It was originally expected to premiere before the end of 2025 - filming wrapped up last year - but the project got a postponement.
Thomas Shelby's story will come to an end
The action of the picture will unfold during the Second World War. According to the actor, this movie will be the final chapter of the story of Thomas Shelby - the leader of the infamous Birmingham gang. The creators promise to show a more mature hero, faced with new moral challenges against the backdrop of global conflict.
The future of the "Sharpie" universe
After the release of the movie, the creators plan to continue the franchise with a new series that will tell about the next generation of the Shelby family. According to preliminary reports, the project will focus on Thomas' successors and their attempts to maintain the family's influence in post-war England.
What we know about the premiere
No exact release date has been revealed yet, but the movie is expected to be a major event for fans of the British drama. The production team has not specified whether the release will be exclusively in theaters or will also appear on streaming services.
"Sharpie" remains one of the most recognizable British franchises of the last decade, and the upcoming film should be a poignant conclusion to the Thomas Shelby era - before the story moves on to a new generation.
