Idris Elba to reprise his iconic John Luther role for Netflix's new film

On Monday, Netflix revealed that they are working on a feature film that has been written by Neil Cross. 

The film will also see Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis alongside Idris Elba. However, there hasn't been any confirmation on possible presence of Ruth Wilson's Alice Morgan, the serial killer and love interest of Luther, who had also doubled up as his nemesis.
