Idris Elba Joins Ridley Scott's Prometheus

It appears that CBM favourite Elba has joined the already very impressive cast of Ridley Scott's (kinda sorta) Alien prequel along with two other actors, Sean Harris and Katie Dickie..

Daily Mail Uk reports that three British actors; Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie—have joined Ridley Scott's Prometheus in unknown roles.



Elba will be best known to CBMers as playing Roque in The Losers as well as Heimdell in Marvel's upcoming Thor of course. Harris you may recognize from Harry Brown with Michael Caine, or from the original Red Riding trilogy with Andrew Garfield. Scottish actress Dickie will most likely not be well known to US readers but she starred in the bleakly brilliant Red Road in the UK.

The Mail also have some quotes from Director Scott, who hints that any supposed leaked script details may well be premature. And gives a cryptic hint at the plot..

I was insistent that the script not leak onto the internet, where it gets dissected out of context, which spoils it for everyone..

‘It’s the story of creation, the gods and the man who stood against them. It’s not a small film,’


Scott also says that they begin filming in 3 weeks at Pinewood Studios. Prometheus hits theaters on June 8th, 2012.

I betting that Elba's character is going to die first. Fassbenders character will most likely die last...

Elba is a pretty good actor, even in other genres like Daddy's Little Girls! I like an actor/actress that tries to branch out early instead of sticking to one genres forever.

I had a hunch that Idris Elba would join next in this. Great choice!:) Cant wait for this movie!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Stephen Lang, Chris Pine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Paul Bettany and Joseph Gordon Levitt are my other guesses.

He is on fire...taking on all the parts....
Great Actor who can be diverse in his style vs. just playing the same person in every movie.
