Why 2025 Could Be Cillian Murphy’s Best Year for Movies

by

As a dedicated fan of Cillian Murphy’s exceptional acting prowess, I can’t help but marvel at the extraordinary year that lies ahead for this Irish gem. From the gritty streets of 1920s Birmingham to the desolate wasteland of a post-apocalyptic London, Murphy is set to captivate audiences once again in both ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ’28 Years Later’.

Imagine it: two blockbuster hits starring Murphy, back-to-back in the cinematic summer season. The anticipation is palpable, reminiscent of the Barbenheimer phenomenon that swept through pop culture last year. I can already hear the collective gasps as audiences switch between the dramatic intensity of Tommy Shelby and the chilling suspense of Murphy’s undisclosed character in ’28 Years Later’.

Now, let’s not forget the little matter of an Academy Award under his belt for his role in ‘Oppenheimer’. Murphy is on a roll, and it seems that this year, he has decided to outdo himself. The only question left unanswered is: who will play second fiddle to Cillian Murphy in 2025?

On a lighter note, I can’t help but wonder if this summer will see another ‘Barbie vs. Oppenheimer’ showdown, with Tommy Shelby and his fellow Peaky Blinders battling the plastic perfection of Barbie and Ken in a gritty, post-apocalyptic London. Now wouldn’t that be something to see?

Irish thespian Cillian Murphy has been consistently delivering remarkable performances for more than two decades. Ranging from blockbuster series such as Batman to independent films like his latest Small Things Like These, he has repeatedly demonstrated his immense acting talent. His frequent partnerships with Christopher Nolan showcase both his acting prowess and his commitment to creating high-quality movies. He has tackled challenging roles in horror and sci-fi through films like A Quiet Place Part II and Sunshine, as well as exciting thrillers such as Red Eye. Regardless of the role he plays, Cillian Murphy always delivers top-notch performances.

As a long-time fan of Cillian Murphy’s acting, I am thrilled to see him taking on such diverse roles that showcase his immense talent. His performances as the ruthless gang leader in “Peaky Blinders” and the accidental survivor in the zombie apocalypse of “28 Days Later” have left a lasting impression on me. With new movies for both series on the horizon, I can hardly wait to see what 2025 holds for Murphy’s career. His ability to tackle complex characters and bring them to life with such authenticity is truly inspiring, and I believe that this could very well be his best year yet.

The Long-Awaited ’28 Years Later’ Will Be Released This Coming Summer

For over two decades now, I’ve been captivated by the groundbreaking work of director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland who revolutionized the zombie subgenre with their masterpiece, “28 Days Later.” The heart-pounding post-apocalyptic movie left an indelible mark on audiences worldwide. In 2007, a sequel, “28 Weeks Later,” graced our screens, boasting one of the most gripping opening sequences ever committed to film.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel the excitement bubbling within me as we’ve waited years for the third installment of our beloved series. The sequel may not have lived up to the original for many of us, but that hasn’t dampened our anticipation one bit. There were countless discussions and speculations about a potential third film floating around for what felt like an eternity before it was officially announced in January 2024. And ever since then, we’ve been eagerly awaiting news on how Cillian Murphy will rejoin the franchise once more.

As a die-hard fan of the “28 Years Later” franchise, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming release on June 20, 2025! With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes leading the cast, this movie promises to be nothing short of spectacular. It’s especially thrilling to see Jim, played by the talented Nick Murphy, reprising his role from the first film. Although it’s unclear how he’ll fit into the storyline this time around, I have no doubt that he’ll bring his A-game as always.

The official trailer dropped on December 10th, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! From glimpses of Taylor-Johnson, Comer, and Fiennes’ characters, to tantalizing hints of what’s to come, this trailer had me hooked from the very first frame. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed that Murphy wasn’t shown in the trailer, but the anticipation surrounding his return to the series only grows stronger with each passing day.

I remember watching the original “28 Years Later” movie years ago and being absolutely captivated by its unique blend of science fiction, horror, and drama. The franchise has always been a staple in my film collection, so I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this time around. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, mark your calendars for June 20, 2025 and get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience!

The Highly Anticipated ‘Peaky Blinders’ Movie Has Wrapped Filming

On the 19th of December, the NetflixUK Instagram account posted a set photo featuring Murphy and Barry Keoghan to confirm that filming for the Peaky Blinders movie had been completed. This series, which spanned six seasons from 2013-2022, chronicles the story of Thomas Shelby (Murphy), a gangster leader who heads up the Peaky Blinders, a band of tough criminals known for sewing razor blades into the brims of their hats.

The series spanned from the conclusion of World War I right up until the start of World War II. During its sixth season, Tommy Shelby appeared to walk away from his life as a felon by torching the caravan he had vanished into and riding off on horseback towards the sunset. It remains unknown where the upcoming movie will lead, but it’s likely that the gangster will find himself drawn back into his criminal past alongside his family.

The movie’s title remains undisclosed, but Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth are among the cast members alongside Keoghan. It’s been rumored that the film might be titled “The Immortal Man.” With filming wrapped up, post-production is the next stage on the agenda, which could start soon (if it hasn’t already). If released in late 2025 as speculated, Murphy has a promising year ahead.

Potential for Another Blockbuster Double Feature

In March 2024, Murphy clinched his first Academy Award, recognized for his outstanding performance in Christopher Nolan’s biopic titled “Oppenheimer.” The film experienced an unprecedented theatrical release during the summer of 2023, raking in almost a billion dollars at worldwide box offices.

As a cinephile, it’s safe to say that the release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie marked an extraordinary moment in pop culture for me. Remarkably, both films dropped on July 23rd of that year, and the unique contrast between their tones and narratives sparked a wave of amusement among us moviegoers. This delightful clash gave birth to what we now fondly refer to as “Barbenheimer.” The event was so captivating that it drew countless individuals who rarely visit cinemas into theaters, demonstrating the enduring appeal of a theatrical experience for most films.

As a dedicated cinephile with over two decades of movie-watching under my belt, I can confidently say that 2025 could be a landmark year for me. With the highly anticipated release of “28 Years Later” in June and the rumored late 2025 premiere of the “Peaky Blinders” film, I’m buzzing with excitement! The hype surrounding “28 Years Later” is palpable, and I have no doubt it will be one of the year’s top horror releases. Add to that the fact that the untitled “Peaky Blinders” movie will be streaming on Netflix, and I’ll have easy access from my cozy couch. I can hardly wait to immerse myself in these cinematic masterpieces!

It’s uncertain if any upcoming movies of Murphy’s will create as big an impact on popular culture as Barbie and Oppenheimer did, but given their loyal fan bases, it’s possible that both Peaky Blinders (if it premieres this summer) and 28 Years could become summer blockbusters once again. Not only would he be experiencing the excitement of a blockbuster hit twice over, but he’d also be starring in both films.
