‘Fingers crossed’: Idris Elba’s advice for Netflix sequel Luther

Launching March 10 on Netlix, Luther: Fallen Sun brought back the character of Luther, played by Idris Elba, four years after the series ended. And Luther’s fans responded to the meeting.

There was Chief Inspector John Luther, who was taken off duty by a cyber-terrorist (Andy Serkis) and got into a mad fight with the police. Fallen Sun turned out to be a disturbing and thrilling journey.

Exciting because hyperrhythmic, with a tension that does not break during the two hours of the film. And it’s troubling because it derails the series’ classic James Bond look… With this open ending, there’s no doubt that director Jamie Payne and creator Neil Cross have laid the groundwork for a potential sequel.

But as we know, films only get sequels if they do well. But how successful was Fallen Sun when it was released on Netflix?

The good news is that it worked very well. According to its star Idris Elba, the film was a huge success and the actor hopes to have the opportunity to do more. during the interview ColliderHe returns the odds to reprise the role on Netflix in terms of the film’s performance:

“Yes, it worked very well. Luther is among the top five most-watched movies on Netflix, which is an incredible feat considering it’s the first movie to be pulled from the series. I hope to do another one. I love Luther. I like this character and I like what I can bring to it. So fingers crossed“.

To echo the actor’s words, Luther: Fallen Sun spent five weeks in Netflix’s top ten for English-language movies worldwide. But it’s not on the final list of the platform’s top 10 most-watched original movies.

To remind you, Luther is originally a British detective series created by Neil Cross for the BBC. We follow the intense and complicated life of Chief Inspector John Luther, brilliantly played by Idris Elba.

Luther is a dedicated and brilliant detective with a troubled and often unstable personality. The series explores the protagonist’s investigations and personal struggles as he tackles a series of heinous crimes in a dark and almost sinister London that is experiencing real trouble. It’s a great series!
