The upcoming film has been billed as “an epic continuation of the Luther saga”, and it will be directed by Jamie Payne (The Alienist). Not much is known about this project at the moment, but Elba has been dreaming about it for quite some time.

“We go into production, fingers crossed, in September. I’m so excited about it, it’s been a long time coming. We’re very, very close to pulling the green light on the production,” Elba told Variety earlier this year.

Luther aired on BBC between 2010 and 2019 and centered on genius, but troubled murder detective John Luther. Shortly after he ended up arrested at the end of Season 5, Elba said this would be a great setup for a movie because he’ll have to make some difficult decisions in jail. Netflix bosses seem to agree with him, and they’ll be producing the follow-up film in collaboration with BBC.

Colin Farrell is eyeing the role of Oswald Cobblepot aka the Penguin, one of the main villains in the upcoming Batman adaptation. Jonah Hill was originally in talks to either play the Riddler or the Penguin but decided to turn the role down.

Andy Serkis is getting ready to follow in the footsteps of Michael Caine and Jeremy Irons, and take on the role of Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth. This isn’t the only superhero movie he’s involved in right now – the actor is also in charge of directing Venom 2.

The new Batman movie will see Robert Pattinson taking on the role of the Dark Knight, and it’s scheduled to premiere in the summer of 2021. The cast also includes Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, with Matthew McConaughey rumored to join them as Harvey Dent.

Serkis is also a director and producer, and through his Imaginarium Studios in London made Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle. Serkis also portrayed Baloo in the movie alongside Christian Bale’s Bagheera.

Michael Crimp, CEO of IBC said in his announcement of Serkis’s winning that “IBC is where the technology, the craft and the business of the media industry come together. The International Honor for Excellence has a long history of rewarding those who have transformed our creative vision. Andy Serkis has achieved this by bringing extraordinary humanity to computer-generated characters.”

“I feel incredibly honored to have been chosen as the recipient of this year’s prestigious IBC award,” said Andy Serkis. “In turn, I must share this appreciation with the phenomenal legions of creative artists, visionaries and pioneers with whom I’ve been lucky enough to dance with on this journey of next-generation storytelling.”

Should he join the production, Elba will star opposite the previously announced Andy Serkis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Elba is in final negotiations to star as legendary champion Celanawe, “an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like figure who was once a legendary champion and now thought long gone.”

The adaptation is based on the Mouse Guard series created, written and illustrated by David Peterson launched in 2006. It tells the story of a brotherhood of mice sworn to serve their fellow mice in a medieval world. Serkis will portray the villainous blacksmith Midnight and Brodie-Sangster will play Lieam, one of the Mouse Guard’s youngest members.

Set to direct Fox’s adaptation of the Boom! Studios comic is Wes Ball (Maze Runner). The live-action fantasy movie will use the same technology employed in the Planet of the Apes films. 

Production is expected to begin this spring.
