He’s celebrating a history-making Oscar victory — but in the coming weeks, Cillian Murphy returns to a film set and the acting career that is his passion.

Murphy will soon be back to work when cameras start rolling this spring on Steve, an adaptation of Max Porter’s bestselling novel Shy, which the actor will both produce and star in. Netflix has already snapped up the forthcoming film, which centres around a pivotal 24 hours in the life of its title character.
