Idris Elba FINALLY returns as Luther in first behind-the-scene pic from film set

IDRIS Elba has FINALLY returned as Luther in the first behind-the-scene picture from the film set.

Back in September, Netflix announced that the hit BBC series will be made into a film, with Idris back in the titular role.

Now, the 49-year-old has shared the first pictures from set, alongside the tweet: “Oi……I’m back!”

One picture was taken by Idris from above, looking down at Luther’s trademark coat and tie combo.

The second picture was of a clapperboard with the show’s name across the front plus the scene number and take.

Luther fans were thrilled by the update, with one writing underneath: “OMFG THERE IS A SANTA CAUSE THIS IS ALLLLLL I WANTED!!!”

Another added: “I don’t care if it’s a movie or a new season. I am here for this!!”

A third tweeted: “Cannot wait to see what’s next for this awesome series.”

He will be joined by two new co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis in the movie, which is written by screenwriter Neil Cross.

Netflix UK wrote to Twitter of the news: “Idris Elba will reprise his iconic role — joined by Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis — in a new feature film.”

The Hollywood Reporter have revealed the plot will follow Luther as he tackles two new villains, portrayed by his new co-stars.

Cynthia is due to play a detective competing with the much-loved DCI to take down the main villain, depicted by Planet of the Apes star Andy.
