Tommy Shelby is still very much the central figure of the upcoming movie, but the gangster role viewers remember has evolved significantly. This transformation is driven by his self-imposed exile following the events of the series finale, as per the new trailer.

After burning his wagon and letting his old life die, Tommy is no longer a street-level mob boss. The film finds him in 1940, seven years later, being dragged from isolation to face his demons as an older, more reflective man.

The shift in his character reflects the massive scale of a world at war. He is now operating on a global level, navigating high-level espionage and political survival while dealing directly with the British government, as per the new trailer.
