Spider-Man’s actor tried to appear in the BBC series with Cillian Murphy, but had no luck in casting. Holland has opened the doors to the film according to the creator of the series.

Tom Holland, at the peak of success with Spider-Man: No Way Home, announced that he wanted to take a break from acting after chaining movies and big box office projects in recent years one after another. Although he has doubts about whether to remain an actor, Holland has revealed that he has a thorn in his side: having been rejected in the casting of Peaky Blinders. Its creator, Steve Knight, confirms this anecdote and drops that if he wants, he will have room in the long-awaited film that will arrive after the sixth season.

Tom Holland, at the time, auditioned to appear in the acclaimed Cillian Murphy starring soon to be released by Oppenheimer. It didn’t work out. Holland didn’t get the part, as you can imagine, and although he hasn’t given details about what role he aspired to, many have dropped the profile of Fin Shelby (Harry Kirton). Others think it is a more recent role, perhaps facing one of the villains of the new season, but there are too many details. It doesn’t matter at this point. Holland will not participate in the series, but its creator Steven Knight has fueled this fact by confirming that yes, that it was a very important role.

Despite Holland’s disappointment and this slam door, Knight has stated that if he wants to, he will have a role in the Peaky Blinders film that will start shooting in 2023 and that will be the true end of the saga once the sixth season is released. " It wasn’t on the show, but if he wants to come back for the movie, we’ll keep it."
