Amidst the chaos of World War II, Tommy Shelby returns to a bombed Birmingham and becomes involved in secret wartime missions based on true events, facing new threats as he reckons with his past and rising national stakes.
Set in 1940, the film shifts the narrative into the heart of the Second World War. This is a brilliant, if inevitable, progression. We left Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) in 1936, a man who had faked his own death to escape the suffocating walls of his own making. The title, ‘The Immortal Man’, carries a heavy irony. Is it a reference to Tommy’s uncanny ability to survive the impossible, or a nod to the fact that the ghost of the Birmingham gangster can never truly rest while the world burns around him? Tom Harper returns to direct the film, and joining the returning cast such as Murphy, Sophie Rundle and Stephen Graham, are Barry Keoghan, known for his roles in ‘Saltburn’ and ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, along with ‘Dune’ actor Rebecca Ferguson and ‘Pulp Fiction’ star Tim Roth.
