The first poster for Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom has been revealed.
The movie is based on the autobiography of the same name and will see Golden Globe winning actor Idris Elba take on the role of Mandela.
Directed by Justin Chadwick the movie will follow the story of Mandela from his childhood to his twenty seven years in prison through to being elected as president of South Africa.
Elba has made quite a name for himself in recent years with movies such as Thor and Prometheus under his belt - we will be seeing him later this year in Pacific Rim and Thor: The Dark World.
But it was for his TV role in Luther that he picked up a Golden Globe award earlier this year.
The role of Nelson Mandela is set to be the biggest of the actor's career and he will be joined on the cast list by Naomie Harris and Terry Pheto.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is released later this year.
