British actor Idris Elba is an extremely prominent and very current star of both the big and small screen. His roles in movies like American Gangster, Prometheus, Pacific Rim, and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, as well as television shows like The Wire, The Office, The Big C, and Luther have earned him global renown.

He’s an extremely talented man, who also has musical accomplishment on his résumé, but he has thus far been wasted in his major comic book movie appearances.

He had a relatively prominent role in the little-known 2010 comic book movie The Losers, but his roles in two Marvel franchises have seen him totally underutilized. Most prominently, he has had a supporting role as Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and Avengers: Age of Ultron), but he was also the priest Moreau in the terrible Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
