An impressive Marvel Fan Art has come to light and has connected the MCU with the wonderful Peaky Blinders series.
Cillian Murphy dressed in the iconic armor of Hombre de Hierro in a new Marvel Studios Fan Art that has united the universe of Peaky Blinders with the UCM. The Irish actor plays the gangster from birmingham known as Thomas Selby in the acclaimed mobster series created by Steven Knight. The sixth season of the series, the latest installment of the television drama, premiered a couple of days ago. And now they have “stolen” our hearts with a Fan Art as amazing as this one.
Posted by the artist MJ Hiblen on his personal Instagram account, this Marvel Fan Art imagines the criminal leader of the Peaky Blinders wearing the armor of Tony Stark. It has obviously been titled “Iron Blinders” and the design of the armor is inspired by superhero movies. He sports a stunning metallic gray and ditches the helmet to wear the series’ signature beret.
We also see the iconic trench coat Peaky Blinders about the armor of the Marvel hero. The legendary pocket watch is even seen on the armor, as an “easter egg” or wink. To make it more intimidating, MJ Hiblen has made Thomas Shelby’s eyes dark. On one of his fists there is blood. You have to admit that what the artist has done is amazing, right?
A character for television history
A man of dubious morality, Thomas Shelby is one of the most complex characters inhabiting the television landscape today. A World War I veteran who built a criminal empire known as the Peaky Blinders, competing with other gangs and based in Birmingham. He, too, has stood up to local authorities, the American mob, and even the British fascist movements of the 1920s and 1930s. Soldier, gangster, businessman, and member of parliament, Thomas Shelby has now even become a hero of Marvel. Almost nothing!
