Idris Elba is well-known in Hollywood these days for his powerful performances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor is also known for his scene-stealing performance as the laconic Captain Janek in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012); wrapped in prosthetics as Krall opposite Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk in Star Trek: Beyond (2016); and – on a slightly lighter note – for his voice work as Knuckles the Echidna alongside Jim Carrey in this year’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Elba’s big break came in British primetime television, where he played DCI John Luther in the long-running international hit crime series Luther.
An upcoming Netflix Original film co-produced with BBC Films is titled Luther. Neil Cross wrote the screenplay, and Jamie Payne directed it. Since the first scripts for a Luther movie were written in 2013, preparations have been ongoing. But because the series won’t end until 2019, plans for the movie were put on hold until 2020, when they were finally revealed. In July 2021, we published our initial report on the proposed Netflix release of Luther.
What is Luther’s plot?
Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is a superb London officer who is so consumed with his work that he is willing to take the darkest of turns and flout the strictest of laws, according to the only logline for the film that we have seen so far. on the television programme LUTHER.
Who are the Luther cast members?
So far, only a few actors have been confirmed to play Luther, but the most obvious casting is Idris Elba reprising his role as Luther. Cynthia Erivo, best known for her roles in Bad Times at the El Royale and Harriet, has been cast in an unspecified role. However, it has been reported that Erivo will play Luther’s antagonist.
Andy Serkis, who played the villain in The Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes, has also been confirmed. Dermot Crowley also reprises his role as Schenk. We still don’t know who the remaining cast members are.
When will Luther be available on Netflix?
Luther was being filmed on set, Idris Elba confirmed in November 2021 via a behind-the-scenes photo. Several months of filming were completed by the middle of February 2022.
The movie is scheduled to be released by Netflix in March 2023, though a precise release date has not yet been determined. Luther may or may not be available on Netflix UK given that the movie is a co-production between Netflix and BBC Films. Luther will probably first be accessible to stream on BBC iPlayer before making its way to Netflix.
