Fans of this BAFTA winning Idris Elba film are beyond excited after this major update. Sequel for this movie is finally officially announced.

Fans of Golden Globe Winner Idris Elba Rejoice as This Hit Netflix Flick of His Announces a Sequel

Deemed the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ by People magazine, the English actor known for
being a ladies’ favorite is none other than Idris Elba. Besides being tall,
dark, and handsome, the Beast actor’s most alluring feature is his acting.
Through his exquisite portrayal of a drug dealer in HBO’s The Wire, the
50-year-old garnered a huge fan following. One of his most stellar performances
in Luther: The Fallen Sun even won him a Golden Globe. In it, he plays the
protagonist trying to stop a ruthless killer. But a flick in which he plays the
antagonist is the one that earned him a cult following.

As one of his most prominent roles of the outlaw Rufus Buck, Elba wowed
audiences in The Harder They Fall. For the director of the film, Jeymes Samuel,
it marked his debut in the feature film category. Yet he snatched up a BAFTA
Award for the same in the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or
Producer category. Besides being from England like the Luther actor, Samuel is
also a music producer like Elba, who is a DJ himself. On his X (formerly known
as Twitter) account, which is under his stage name The Bullitts, Samuel just
announced that The Harder They Fall is getting a sequel!

The sequel will mark an important feat for Elba, who recently made some
controversial comments about English actors

The Western movie was based on a real-life group of Native Americans and African
Americans who committed various infamous felonies, including assassinating a US
Deputy Marshall. But unlike the dire series of events the movie portrays, The
Harder They Fall received a Hollywood Critics Association Award for being the
Best Action Flick of 2022.

Considering the amount of recognition and accolades the movie received, it has
built a huge fan base since its release in 2021. And one can only imagine their
excitement as two years after its release, the rumors of it getting a sequel
have finally been officially confirmed.

sequel.


IDRIS ELBA FANS CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIS CHARACTER’S COMEBACK

When a fan tweeted about wishing for a sequel to the first movie, nobody could
have imagined that the director himself would respond. Samuel sent the fans into
a frenzy with his simple two-word response “there is..” Encouraging the iconic
director, one user commented, “Let’s go James.” And those that were dismayed by
Idris Elba giving up on playing James Bond

could not help but share their excitement for the Netflix flick, bringing him
back as Buck.

Some fans just wanted the director how “ready” they are for the sequel to
finally drop.
