Idris Elba Talks More About Heimdall Role In Thor!

great actor

hope he does well in Thor. so he has a 4 picture commitment maybe its Thor 1-3, and maybe a small cameo in The Avengers

@tazmaniak

it was confirmed a few weeks ago heres the article

4 picture deal? hmmmm.....Thor sequels maybe.

"never done a comic book movie before?"
trash the film all you want, but The Losers was based off the graphic novel!
ah well....
maybe he's trying to forget it.
;p

i agree with wadey09

wasnt losers a comic movie??

i thought it was good

yeah it was based off the DC graphic novel of the same name. the comic was a reboot of sorts, updating a WWII era commando unit into CIA operatives.
and now, WB is soon to release RED, another DC property about ex-CIA. obsessive anyone?

and while i have not seen The Losers (i really want to btw) the positive reviews have been few and far between.
i cannot wait to see if The Losers really "lost" its placement as a solid CBM.

I'm sure he's gonna own the part!

Still think he's a near perfect BISHOP tho...



Hell he can do both! : P

cool!

@ jazzman

okay,that probably was a wrong comparism black panther & storm.

you cast idris elba as heimdall for four films,you won't see him as the black panther.

this ain't the only film thats got it wrong.

tim burtons batman(1989)harvey dent played by billy dee williams.

daredevil(200?)the kingpin played by micheal clarke duncan,how much better would daredevil had been with a white kingpin.(not much but a little bit.)

i got no problem with different races in asgard,but every day on this site me & others rant & rave about how comics should be as close to the source material as possible.

i don't think its to much to ask if charactor is white in the comics,he should be white in the film.

@Wadey09

yeah at first i thought RED was going to be done by WB but Summit Entertainment got the rights for distributing. whats going to be shocking is that Summit Entertainment are the ones behind The Twilight movies LOL. if RED does well by Summit Entertainment at the box office it will show that WB dont know how to do these comic movies like The Loser LOL.

@deadpool72

true that but when we talking about close to source material we mean the story is still in contact.

Stan Lee in a interview said characters like Kingpin aint well known to the general public so he dont find its a issue. the characters like Spider-Man will stay the same but he does not have a issue for a black person audition for the character.



MCD playing Kingpin was not a big deal after watching it. it would not been that great anyway with a white Kingpin cause they will still have the same story and director doing the movie lol. also they even mention they tried to look for white actors who are the size of Kingpin plus they did want to put a actor in a fat suit to play Kingpin and remember MCD was well known at the time.

come on its Billy Dee Williams aka Lando but yeah he played Harvey Dent but he did not play Two-Face at the end of the day.

i had no issue when D. B. Sweeney a white actor played a black character Terry Fitzgerald in Spawn film. remember they still kept Spawn black just like the comics.

what about X-Men Origins: Wolverine they casted Daniel Henney a Korean-American actor to play Agent Zero who is German in the comic no one complain about that.

Fantastic Four even had Jessica Alba who is latino mix played Sue Storm who is 100% white. or even Kerry Washington who is black played Alicia Masters whos white in the comics. Kerry Washington was good as the character. not saying Fantastic Four is a good movie it sucked cause of the director and screen writter did not know how to make a good movie and story.

@deadpool72

see what u said its not about the characters but how them movies was handle bad. i believe in THOR will be a good comic book movie even it has Idris Ebla playing Heimdall.

forget all the whiners, dude looks sick as heimdall. cant wait for this movie

@thedesert Hogun looked oriental, he had a Genghis Khan look to him, and the guy who is playing him in the Thor movie played Genghis Khan before

How about T-Challa?

@LEE I gotta admit- he would make a bitchin Bishop
