Idris Elba as Mandela after his roles in BBC’s ‘Luther‘ And now in ‘Pacific Rim‘ we can confidentally say he can pull this off very easily guy is versatile and got his variations in acting, we loved him since we first saw the “Luther’, But to play a role who is already played by Morgan Freeman it’s a bit hard to fill those shoes but we are confident Idris Elba has no shortage of guts. He’s starring as Nelson Mandela in Long Walk To Freedom and after the Weinstein Company’s reveal in Cannes the first poster is now online.
Of course, making a still image work is one thing. It remains to be seen how Elba does when actual footage arrives online.
After Mandela Can You Play Him ? Pleaseeee
