Fans of BBC’s Luther were quite disappointed to have lost their favorite DCI John Luther after the show finished with its fifth and final season in 2019. Yet because of the show’s success, he will make a comeback in the upcoming film Luther: The Fallen Sun in February. It should go without saying that Idris Elba will play John Luther one final time. Elba is one of the project’s producers as well.
The brilliant DCI John Luther is followed in Luther: The Fallen Sun, who is now discredited and imprisoned, as a serial killer, who terrorizes London. He, therefore, escapes from prison and will do everything it takes to find the murderer. The movie is a prequel to the original, long-running British series, and it will conclude the plot. It was written by Neil Cross and directed by Jamie Payne.
It’s time to familiarise yourself with London’s best as the movie will shortly be released. The five seasons of the series are presently available to stream on Hulu, so if you haven’t started watching it yet, this could be a good time.

Elba plays DCI John Luther, a bright top inspector who is falsely accused of killing someone and then flees. He plays the same role in the movie that he did in the television show.
Luther is so devoted to his profession that he becomes possessive and obsessed to the point of becoming aggressive. He frequently becomes consumed by the evil of the crimes and the criminals—a price he pays for becoming overly invested in his work.

David Robey, a computer billionaire and serial murderer who uses his own surveillance technology to snoop on individuals and kill them, is the antagonist of the plot and Luther’s enemy, and Serkis portrays him. Serkis discussed his character’s statement that “I don’t think I’ve come across anything quite as dark for a long time” in an interview.
Although David and Luther had previously met, so far Luther has been able to avoid punishment; nevertheless, this time around things may be different. While Crowley plays DSU Martin Shenk, Luther’s former supervisor, Erivo plays one of Luther’s associates. Ajufo plays Anya, Patel portrays Lydia Deng, Hereford plays Brian Lee, and Wilson plays Alice Morgan, a psychotic criminal, in other roles.
The persona of Alice is also borrowed from the series, where Luther fails to charge her with a crime and eventually shares a complicated relationship with her.
