Both Cross and Elba have been open about the fact that they want to take Luther to the big screen. “There’s literally no news to report except we really want to do it. And we’ve got lots of avenues that would allow us to do it,” Cross says. In a recent conference call with reporters, Elba suggested a couple: “I think the origin story is a classic superhero-type set-up, and I’ve always likened Luther to a superhero just because, as television makers, we bend the rules so much. And so, yes, it would be interesting to understand where that came from and how do we end up in that first episode of Season 1 — that would be great and really exciting. But then, beyond that, [also] to pick up after Season 3 and figure out what happens next.”

Could we see Luther back on TV? “Well, I think both Neil and I would consider it if you could get David Bowie to come and score the next season,” Elba said. “If you can do that, I think Neil and I would be writing straightaway.” We’re not sure what it would take to get the Wire star to do another American TV show, but he’s open to it. “You know, television for me is a medium that I’m probably always going to be attached to one way or another. My film career has been very kind to me, and I’m building in that world, but honestly, my biggest challenges so far have been in television,” he said. “So I definitely would like to see myself back on a great American TV show again.” We hope FX president John Landgraf is dialing.
