Idris Elba (Thor, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, The Losers) is racking up roles in comic book inspired films. Now the British King of Cool will star in a project by comics legend Warren Ellis.
Elba will star in Ascension, a British miniseries written by Ellis, according to Deadline. The story involves the history and future of astronomy and could feature two roles for Elba. The star will soon be seen in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. If my geek dream comes true – he will play King T’Challa in a Marvel Black Panther movie!
