Yeah we know Idris isn’t the only Black British actor in the world but the man keeps hitting the news so what can we say? It’s just been announced that filming for “The Losers” will start in three weeks in Puerto Rico. The film is based on The Vertigo/DC comics series of the same name and Idris Elba will be playing the part of Roque, the scarred, money obsessed 2nd in command of a CIA black ops team. The inset picture is the cover for Issue #12 of the comic and illustrator ‘Jock’ has been tasked with creating a one-sheet movie poster to be given away at San Diego Comic-Con.
“I’ll be drawing a version of [the cover to] #12, with some likeness of the actors in place of the traditional comic cast,” Jock wrote on his blog. “I’ll have to squeeze in Idris Elba as Roque too, so I guess he takes the place of the palm tree.”
This blogger is a closet secret-spy-stuff movie fan and a big Idris Elba fan so can’t wait. More news on this as it comes.
