Idris Elba has a full plate when it comes to gigs. We’ll soon see him singing on the big screen alongside Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift in CATS when it hits theaters next month. He’s currently filming The Suicide Squad and has signed on to star alongside Tilda Sweden in Three Thousand Years and Longing.
As if that’s not enough, he’s also working on a western called Concrete Cowboys.
According to Deadline, Elba will play a Black cowboy and will be joined by Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin and Jharrel Jerome, who recently received an Emmy nod for his gut-wrenching portrayal of Korey Wise in Ava DuVernay’s Neflix series When They See Us.
