I don’t know if Idris Elba has a goal of appearing in as many franchises as possible, but the actor who plays Heimdall in the MCU can add another hero to his credits list. Deadline is reporting that Elba has been cast in the upcoming Amazon MGM film Masters of the Universe as Duncan, Man-At-Arms.
The Travis Knight directed film will also feature Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man/Prince Adam and Camila Mendes as Duncan’s daughter Teela. In the film, Duncan is the weapons master and combat instructor for the royal family and is tasked by King Randor to create an elite strike force, which he then names the Masters of the Universe.
Besides being an Asgardian for Marvel, Elba has also appeared as Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad, voiced Knuckles in Sonic 3, played the superpowered Brixton in Fast & the Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, Roland the Gunslinger in The Dark Tower and Krall in Star Trek Beyond. And that’s only a small portion of his resume.
