Idris Elba Expects James Gunn's DCU To Be 'Unstoppable' (We Got This Covered)

Elba, who's appeared in the MCU as Heimdall, the guardian of the rainbow bridge, and Bloodsport of the Suicide Squad in the DCU, said he thinks Gunn's new take ...

“Those rumors would be natural because Will said he wasn’t joining the second movie, so it was quite natural for audiences or fans to think that I would be taking over the Deadshot character because the Deadshot character lived in the other movie. And I can’t think of anyone better to jump into the authorship of what happens in the DC Universe. It never hurts to suck up to the boss.

'Luther: The Fallen Sun' review: Idris Elba's absurdly silly hero (Far Out Magazine)

The Netflix action movie 'Luther: The Fallen Sun' stars Idris Elba, Andy Serkis, Cynthia Erivo, Dermot Crowley. It's something of a James Bond copycat.

Whilst the series illustrated a similar tone to the movie, its balance of absurdity and sincerity was far steadier, making Netflix’s adaptation seems pretty misjudged in comparison. Indeed, Serkis’ villain is a gloriously immoral weasel, as well as an incredibly silly antagonist, but the level of his cartoon wickedness harkens back to the absurdity of Bond’s most eccentric adversaries, making for a gloriously thrilling watch. Without the dogged efforts of Luther to track him down, Robey enacts his disturbing plan, blackmailing a collection of victims to follow his every insidious word.

Luther's Idris Elba Reveals Difference in Character in Movie vs TV ... (Comicbook.com)

Luther: The Fallen Sun's Idris Elba revealed the biggest difference between playing his character in a TV show versus in a movie. The Luther star spoke to ...

Netflix's synopsis for the next chapter of Elba's character reads: "In Luther: The Fallen Sun — an epic continuation of the award-winning television saga reimagined for the film — a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther (Idris Elba) sits behind bars. That allows for a little bit more of a peeling of the onion, so to speak."

Movie review: Idris Elba is back as edgy detective in 'Luther: The ... (Greensboro News & Record)

Idris Elba's John Luther finally has made it to the big screen. And sure, many — at least on these shores — will watch “Luther: The Fallen Sun” in their ...

Speaking of that backstory, it’s both surprising and a little disappointing that Ruth Wilson is nowhere to be seen as Alice Morgan, Luther’s enemy-turned-uneasy ally, after she resurfaced in the most recent series. For much of its two-hour-plus runtime, “The Fallen Sun” is an entertaining affair with high but reasonable stakes. As written, Robey starts out as somewhat believable, but, by the end, he’s ventured into a realm of behavior even the Joker may find off-putting. Helping him and Elba, also a producer on the film, accomplish that goal is director Jamie Payne, who helmed the aforementioned strong four-episode fifth series. However, more receptive to Luther’s requests for help from inside the police department is his old boss, Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley), who returns to the office as a consultant after having retired. It soon is visited by Luther, and although he becomes determined to find a man who’s gone missing from the scene, Luther’s legal troubles catch up with him before he can do so.

I knew that matching him physically in terms of fighting, I had to find a fighting style that was more for the character of David Robie. [Rise of the Planet of the Apes](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1318514?ref_=nmbio_mbio), and I literally read it and I was in bits after I read it. So, I was thrilled when I was approached to be in the film. For a long period of time, she couldn't look me in the face. So that was not a good move from a marital perspective! I think he's so well known for this role, he's played John Luther for a fifth of his life. At the end of the day it's entertainment. All of this stuff just happens around us, and he capitalizes on it by watching people in their private moments. Let's have a debate about who this person is and what he is.” ANDY SERKIS: I nearly didn't do it for that reason. To play such a psychopath must have been fun, but how did you find your way in to justify his actions? Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him, Luther decides to break out and finish the job by any means necessary.
