IDRIS Elba has FINALLY returned as Luther in the first behind-the-scene picture from the film set.
Back in September, Netflix announced that the hit BBC series will be made into a film, with Idris back in the titular role.
Now, the 49-year-old has shared the first pictures from set, alongside the tweet: “Oi……I’m back!”
One picture was taken by Idris from above, looking down at Luther’s trademark coat and tie combo.
The second picture was of a clapperboard with the show’s name across the front plus the scene number and take.
Luther fans were thrilled by the update, with one writing underneath: “OMFG THERE IS A SANTA CAUSE THIS IS ALLLLLL I WANTED!!!”
Another added: “I don’t care if it’s a movie or a new season. I am here for this!!”
A third tweeted: “Cannot wait to see what’s next for this awesome series.”
He will be joined by two new co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis in the movie, which is written by screenwriter Neil Cross.
Netflix UK wrote to Twitter of the news: “Idris Elba will reprise his iconic role — joined by Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis — in a new feature film.”
The Hollywood Reporter have revealed the plot will follow Luther as he tackles two new villains, portrayed by his new co-stars.
Cynthia is due to play a detective competing with the much-loved DCI to take down the main villain, depicted by Planet of the Apes star Andy.
