You don't need any more reasons to see Avengers: Age of Ultron, but here's one anyway.
Idris Elba revealed that he's filmed a scene for the upcoming Marvel blockbuster as his character Heimdall from the Thor movies. More reasons, you say? OK then. Tom Hiddleston (Loki) is in the movie, too.
Elba dropped the news as part of a much longer profile in The Telegraph in which he says having to return to working on Thor: The Dark World with fake hair glued to his head and a goofy "fucking helmet" was"torture," because he'd just played Nelson Mandela in Long Walk to Freedom.
For Age of Ultron Elba had to take a break from working as club DJ in Ibiza to film his scene, which also sounded like a hassle.
“Ironically, yesterday I had to…” Elba chuckles. He’s not meant to talk about this, but he clearly enjoys doing things he’s not meant to do. “I’m in Avengers,” he reveals ... "And I’m doing a scene with Chris Hemsworth [who plays Thor] and Tom Hiddleston [Loki], and they’re like, [whispers] – ‘Aren’t you [meant to be] in Ibiza?’ ” That bassy chuckle again, followed by a frown. Elba came straight to Ibiza party-time from a mythical Norse god/Marvel universe that has made billions at the global box office. His head is all over the place. “That’s why I was pissed about my set yesterday. I really just wasn’t there. I was annoyed.”
OK Idris, now you're just showing off. Try not to feel too bad about spending your weekend on the couch watching NFL games and eating Papa John's, everyone else.
