A new teaser for the upcoming Luther film sees Idris Elba playing DCI John Luther while a voice says “something’s coming”. The actor, who will return as the hot-headed detective for the first time since January 2019, has also confirmed a cinema release for Luther: The Fallen Sun.
Wearing a suit and tie, Elba is seen in the clip, released by Netflix and Elba on Thursday (January 12) emerging from the shadows as he spins around and looks at the camera intensely. A voice then says “something’s coming” while another adds “can you see me now?”
Elba has portrayed the haunted rogue detective in the crime thriller in five critically acclaimed series on the BBC since its launch in 2010. Joining the cast for the Netflix film are Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis while Dermot Crowley is set to reprise his role as detective Martin Schenk.
