Cillian Murphy is continuing to film scenes for Peaky Blinders' upcoming movie The Immortal Man in Manchester.
The Oscar-winning actor, 48, was seen on set this week, shooting scenes for his role as gangland boss Tommy Shelby.
The actor donned Tommy's trademark newsboy hat as well as a long coat, matching suit and patent leather shoes.
The Oppenheimer star looked somber while engaging in what looked like an animated conversation with a co-star.
Fans of the show are eagerly anticipating the feature film after six seasons of the BBC show.
Cillian and the rest of the crew have made Manchester their home for the time being, although the drama is based in Birmingham, after recently shooting in north-east Wales.

It was confirmed in June that the Peaky Blinders' original writing and directing team would be returning alongside Cillian for a Netflix film adaptation of the hit series.
The streaming service confirmed the news on X with a photograph of the script, while the Oscar winning actor told Deadline: 'It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me…
'It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.'
Director Tom shared: 'When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn't know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive.
'Peaky has always been a story about family - and so it's incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix.'
Peaky Blinders launched in 2013 and garnered huge audiences both in Britain and overseas, attracting roles for silver-screen stars such as Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The show is loosely based on a real Birmingham gang of the same name operating from the 1880s to the 1920s who took part in similar illegal activities.
Peaky Blinders aired six series over nine years and ended with Tommy, who had been tricked into believing he had a terminal illness, surviving an assassination attempt orchestrated by his own nephew before killing him and moving away for a new life.

The hugely popular BBC crime drama, set in Birmingham during the city's early 20th century industrial revolution, ended its six series run in 2022.
Paul Anderson who plays Tommy's eldest and troubled brother Arthur - is also returning to the show.
The actor, 46, has ditched his usual look in favour of a platinum blonde style while continuing to film for The Immortal Man.
Earlier this year, he raised fears about his acting future as a drug conviction in January and allegations of bad behaviour on set threatened his participation.
