In a separate interview, Cillian Murphy also added that he appreciates Knight, stating that “he is such a phenomenal writer” and that if he were ever to deliver a script Murphy knows Knight can deliver, he’d be there.
And it would seem that Knight delivered, considering that the upcoming movie already has a scheduled production start.
But that isn’t the only time Murphy shared his willingness to reprise his Peaky Blinders role—he also discussed the same with the Peaky Blinders superfan Margot Robbie, who starred in another Best Picture nominee, 2023’s Barbie.
