I must say Mr. Idris Elba is definitely doing his thing in the TV and Film arena. I can remember his breakout tv role as Stringer Bell in HBO series "The Wire" to starring in the BBC series "Luther"; and then making his mark on the movie/film screen with roles in Takers, Legacy, Rock-N-Rolla, and Thor just to name a few.
Recently Elba has been given the opportunity to have a double-starring role in an adventure television miniseries "Ascension" , which focuses on the history and future of astronomy and mankind’s impulse for the stars. The shows creators, British producer Vivek J. Tiwary and writer Warren Ellis, have pretty much got him lined up to star as both the Ancient Egyptian genius Imhotep in 3000 B.C. as well as an extraordinary astronomer in the near future.
Now this is a role that I can see him playing very well. In essence, this would be a natural fit for him and his career.
Elba, who recently starred in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, will also starring in the upcoming sci-fi film Prometheus.
Go ahead Mr. Elba!!
