In a new interview with USA Weekend, Idris Elba talked a bit about his role of Heimdall in 'Thor' and talks just a bit about his time working on the film.
USA Weekend: You just finished your stint filming Thor as the Asgardian warrior Heimdall. How was that?
Idris: It was dope. It was an interesting genre of film to make. I had never done comic book stuff, so that was really great.
USA Weekend: What was the coolest part?
Idris: Just the bigness of the show. It’s so epic, these huge sets were just amazing to look at. And they really pat attention to detail. When you read the comics, you see all the drawings, and to actually see them in real life, it’s like, “Whoa!”
USA Weekend: Do you see yourself doing another superhero character or are you good with the crime dramas?
Idris: I have a deal with the Marvel Studios team, a four-picture commitment. I’m sure I’ll be back in something cool.
Well there is something new, we had not known that Idris had a four picture commitment with Marvel to reprise his role of Heimdall.
