Tom Hardy has joined the cast of 'Peaky Blinders'.
The British movie star will appear in the second series of the hit BBC Two gangster drama, joining his 'The Dark Knight Rises' co-star Cillian Murphy.
The official Twitter account for 'Peaky Blinders' announced the news this afternoon (14.02.14), writing: "FAN EXCLUSIVE: TOM HARDY WILL JOIN THE CAST OF #PEAKYBLINDERS! As a thanks for your support, YOU are the 1st to know (sic)"
'Peaky Blinders' follows the Shelby crime family - led by the cunning and masterful Tommy (Cillian) - and is set in Birmingham just after World War I.
The drama also stars top acting talent such as Helen McCrory and Sam Neill as Chief Inspector Chester Campebll, a detective who arrives in Birmingham from Belfast to rid the city of corruption and gangs.
The first series of 'Peaky Blinders' - which has been compared to hit US drama 'Boardwalk Empire' - was a huge hit for BBC Two last year, averaging two million viewers.
Film star Tom is best known for playing Bane in Batman flick 'The Dark Knight Rises' and has had roles in 'Inception' and 'Lawless'.
The 36-year-old star has several big movies on the horizon, including 'Mad Max: Fury Road', and 'Rocketman', in which he will play music legend Sir Elton John.

Jamie Laing and Cheryl Fergison are set to appear on a new 'Benefits Street'-style reality show.
Famous faces including the 'Made In Chelsea' star and former 'EastEnders' actress have signed up for 'Famous, Rich and Hungry', which will see them living with families struggling to survive on benefits.
The BBC One show will also feature Mayor of London Boris Johnson's sister, Rachel Johnson, and former 'Dragons' Den' star Theo Paphitis.
A source said: "The emphasis is on how difficult it is to feed a family on very little money. The celebs are used to fancy restaurants and always having a decent meal when they want one.
"The show will look at how they react when faced with the prospect of going hungry or eating a tiny meal -- a situation affecting many people in Britain."
The programme is made by 'Benefits Street' producers Love Productions and will appear on BBC One as a two-part series during their Sport Relief charity programming next month.
Rachel, 48, spent a week living with a widowed mother-of-four while filming the show and admits that her preconceptions about people who live on benefits were completely shattered.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Within two hours of being with Dee I'd established she was feeding three people on less than I spend on a cup of coffee a day. I couldn't stop my tears."
Programme executives are said to be nervous about what the reaction will be to 'Famous, Rich and Hungry' after the criticism 'Benefits Street' received.
The Channel 4 show was originally offered to the BBC but they turned it down.

Matt Smith will cameo in the new series of 'Doctor Who' from beyond the grave.
The actor - who played the Eleventh Doctor - is set to receive one last hurrah in the new series of the BBC One sci-fi drama, despite regenerating in last year's Christmas special.
Viewers will hear Matt's incarnation of the Doctor make a call to his former companion Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman), who is still heartbroken by his regeneration and isn't overly welcoming of the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Doctor Who's sidekick Clara is struggling to accept that Capaldi is still her Doctor when she receives a phone call from Matt, which he made prior to his regeneration.
"It sounds confusing but he is ringing the future from the past and wants to assure Clara this new man is still Doctor Who."
Peter, 55, and Jenna, 27, are currently filming the new series of 'Doctor Who', which will screen on BBC One in the autumn.
Producer Steven Moffat recently praised Peter's portrayal of the Doctor.
He said: "He's one of the best actors in the world. He's an extraordinary actor. I just thought, 'Why has nobody ever asked him if he'd do it?' And he is doing it, and wow."

Sam Strike felt "comfortable" filming his coming out scene with Danny Dyer.
The 'EastEnders' newcomer, who plays Johnny Carter, was at the centre of an emotional episode last month when he told his father Mick Carter (Danny) he is gay, and Sam says the veteran film star put him at ease shooting the dramatic scenes.
He said: "He's lovely. I had a heavy scene with him right at the beginning, and we were both on the same level and really comfortable with each other. He's just a really lovely guy."
Sam - who joined the BBC One soap with Danny, Kellie Bright and Maddy Hill last year - also admitted he was incredibly nervous about the reaction to the episode, but has been overwhelmed by the support he's received.
He told the official 'EastEnders' website: "With that scene where Johnny comes out to Mick, I was really nervous the night it aired, because you want it to look convincing but then you want to do justice by the people that have been there and done it. It was a real proving ground for me, because it was the first time I actually had to do any proper drama acting.
"I've had letters and Danny's had letters saying that we'd helped people to come out, and it makes things worth it."

Sherrie Hewson worries about William Roache's health following his trial for sex assault charges.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress and 'Loose Women' star was overcome with emotion last week when the 81-year-old actor - who has played Ken Barlow in the ITV soap since its first episode - was cleared of charges including indecent assault and rape, and she admits she worries about the effect the public ordeal must have had on him.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It must have hurt him, physically, health-wise. And apart from everything else, he's not been in a job for a year.
"I was angry it even went as far as it did. It's a waste of taxpayers' money. It's ludicrous what is happening now. We were all incensed it had got that far because it didn't need to go to court. Apparently they didn't have enough evidence - well, obviously not, because it was thrown out."
The 63-year-old star also believes it's wrong to name people in relation to crimes such as sexual assault before they are charged.
Sherrie explained: "People should be protected. Until they're charged, they shouldn't be named. And when they're charged, obviously, you go for it then.
"To spread him all over the newspapers ... he was charged, but he was named long before he was charged. It was all over the papers for ever. It's because he's well known, because he's iconic. It's got to stop."
'Nana's Kitchen' by Sherrie Hewson is out now in hardback by Macmillan, £18.99.

Matt Damon argues with his wife over 'Downton Abbey'.
'The Monuments Men' actor admits he's a big fan of the ITV period drama and fell out with his wife Luciana Barrosa after she watched a run of episodes without him.
Speaking on 'The Graham Norton Show', which airs tonight (14.02.14), Matt said: "My wife is an addict. It's a problem.
"We were supposed to watch it together and I came to bed one night and she said, 'I've just watched six of them - I'll tell you what happened!'
"She wanted to watch the seventh and didn't want to go back to the beginning. So she's done the whole thing and I am on my own."
The 43-year-old star, who has three daughters with wife Luciana, along with her daughter from a previous marriage, has been married since 2005 and is currently missing his family while promoting his new film 'The Monuments Men', co-starring George Clooney, who has also said he's a fan of 'Downton Abbey'.
But he appeared to be enjoying himself on Graham's sofa, declaring: "This is the best time I have ever had on a chat show."
Meanwhile, Matt has said he would love to appear in 'Downtown Abbey' with co-star Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert, Earl of Grantham.
Asked if Hugh had convinced him to guest-star on the show yet, he said: "He could, he could. Everybody loves that show. My wife loves the show more than anybody. I don't know [if she loves it more than Michelle Obama]. They would have a lot to talk about."

'Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw will finally seduce Marcus Dent next week.
The Weatherfield resident - played by Bruno Langley - has set his sights on Marcus (Charlie Condou) in recent weeks and the midwife will find himself unable to resist Todd's advances any longer, despite being in a relationship with Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie).
Bruno said: "This was always about Todd pushing until Marcus caved in. He knows what he wants and won't stop until he gets it - never mind the consequences!
"Todd is genuinely attracted to Marcus and that's all it takes. He likes the challenge and the chase, but also Todd doesn't like to see other people happy when he isn't."
Marcus previously had a relationship with Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) but has since entered a heterosexual relationship with Maria, and Todd - who at one point was engaged to a woman before coming out - thinks Marcus is making a big mistake.
Bruno explained to Inside Soap magazine: "Remember, Todd at one time was all set to marry Sarah and have children, but he knew it wasn't right and he just getting swept up in it all. He can see the same pattern with Marcus.
"Todd actually believes he's saving Marcus from living a lie and helping out Maria at the same time."

Rick Edwards is still "addicted" to 'Made in Chelsea'.
The TV presenter, who hosts the E4 reality show's end-of-season party episodes, insists he hasn't tired of the drama among the rich socialites on the show and still watches it religiously.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm just kind of addicted to 'Made in Chelsea'. I don't really watch that much TV, and there's certainly not much TV where I think, 'I have to be in at this time on this day.' But 'Made in Chelsea' is probably the only show where, if someone says to me, 'Do you want to do something on Monday night?' I go, 'What time is it gonna finish?'
"My enthusiasm is undampened. I'm looking forward to the next series, and the next series.
"I think the producers do an amazing job on it because it feels like it gets better and better, and more and more absurd, but engaging."
The 34-year-old hunk - who has hosted 'T4' and 'Tool Academy' - admits he'd love to host a big primetime show like 'The X Factor' or 'The Voice' but would never want to replace an existing presenter.
He explained: "I really like the people who host those shows. I think ideally it would have to be a new show so it would feel like your own.
"'The X Factor' feels, quintessentially, like Dermot's show to me. I've almost forgotten that Kate Thornton did it in the past, and that's no disrespect to her.
"I guess as a TV presenter the ultimate thing would be a high-rating, primetime Saturday night vehicle. I'd love to do something like that. I've always enjoyed the experience of doing stuff in big studio settings, in front of an audience."
