Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man star Jay Lycurgo has reflected on reuniting with Cillian Murphy on "very different" terms, following their earlier collaboration on indie film Steve.
The 28-year-old actor, also known for Netflix's The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself and Channel 4's Generation Z, spoke to Radio Times at Newport Beach Film Festival this week.
Lycurgo was named one of the festival's breakout artists, following a celebrated turn in Netflix original Steve, where he played a troubled student to Murphy's embattled school headteacher.
The title character couldn't be farther from Peaky Blinders antihero Tommy Shelby – which is a testament to the impressive range of Academy Award winner Murphy – as Lycurgo shared on the festival's red carpet.

Contrasting with The Immortal Man, Lycurgo continued: "But Tommy Shelby... he's so cool! When I saw Cillian in the suit for the first time, I was like, 'Oh, I get it now! I get why it's so iconic'."
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man picks up after the events of the BBC drama, with Tommy navigating the hardships of life in Britain during World War II.
The hotly anticipated release will get a two-week run in cinemas from Friday 6 March 2026, before landing on Netflix that same month.
In addition to Lycurgo, it adds Rebecca Ferguson (Silo, Dune), Tim Roth (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Tin Star) and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Beatles) to the world of Peaky Blinders.
Meanwhile, original series stars Sophie Rundle (After the Flood), Stephen Graham (Adolescence), Ned Dennehy (Outlander) and Packy Lee (Blue Lights) will reprise their roles.
The synopsis, courtesy of Netflix, reads: "Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet.
"With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground."
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is coming to cinemas and Netflix in March. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
