John Luther is crossing paths again with his greatest nemesis.
Ruth Wilson will join Idris Elba in a new “Luther” movie for Netflix, reprising her role as psychopath killer Alice Morgan, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Wilson played Alice in three of “Luther’s” five seasons, but she didn’t appear in the first movie, 2023’s “Luther: The Fallen Sun.”
The new “Luther” movie, written by series creator Neil Cross, features Idris in his Golden Globe-winning role as haunted detective John Luther and “sees a new wave of brutal, seemingly random murders hit London, with Luther secretly called back into service,” per the official synopsis. “But the dramatic question is, how can Luther save London when everyone on all sides seems to want him dead?” Filming is set to get underway next year.
