Speaking to Total Film recently, the star of The Losers, tv's Luther and of course Thor talked about working on the Marvel movie, but also hinted that it might not be the last character we see him play in that universe!..

'It was great to work with Kenneth (Director Kennth Branagh) and the Marvel team, very dedicated guys, amazingly detailed, very clever.'

'It's going to be a big film for Marvel next year, and Kenneth Branagh has definitely put his stamp on it.'


Asked what might be in store for him beyond Thor, Elba said..

'I have a picture deal with them (Marvel). I can't tell you much about that, but I can tell you I'll be back.'

Back..but not necessarily as Heimdall. After Total Film pushed a little, Elba revealed the following..

'I wouldn't mind having a crack at bringing Blade back, personally'

'But erm, there's a couple of things there that they have... Luke Cage is... very interesting.'


So there you go, we might see Elba as either Luke Cage or Blade I'm sure there are those that won't want to see multiple Marvel characters played by the same actor, but you've got to admit, the man would rock those roles.
