We all love Idris Elba here at FemaleFirst and he is set to return to the big screen and an action-packed role this April with Bastille Day.
Bastille Day
Elba is set to take on the central role of Sean Briar in the new film as he teams up with director James Watkins for the first time.
And Elba features in a series of terrific new images from the film. Take a look at:
Bastille Day is the third feature film for Watkins and comes after Eden Lake and The Woman in Black - this is the first time that we have seen him tackle the action genre.
The director has assembled a great cast as Elba stars alongside Richard Madden, Kelly Reilly, and Charlotte Le Bon.
Michael Mason (Madden) is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself hunted by the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar (Elba), the field agent on the case, soon realizes that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale conspiracy.
Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to use his expert pickpocketing skills to help quickly track down the source of the corruption. As a 24hr thrill ride ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.
Bastille Day is released 22nd April.
