Idris Elba has a lot going on in his life. In supplement to physical an highly thought of actor, he's then a DJ, a father, a director and probably a total lot of new things the general public doesn't know about. He's a booming man. He doesn't have grow old for devotee theories or, you know, physical up to date of what the MCU stands for.
It seems totally ridiculous, utter how much fans obsess just about the MCU online, but apparently, Idris Elba, who played Heimdall in combination MCU movies, had no idea the MCU is a term people use to talk just about Marvel movies. The actor was giving an interview to Yahoo Movies UK just about his new directorial feature Yardie following the MCU was mentioned in passing. Here was his response...
What's MCU?... Oh right, I have never heard that before! I thought it was Manchester United... but don't make miserable just about it.
Hands up. I'll be the first to admit, following I first entre this quote, I thought it was someone misinterpreting a silliness and/ or creating a description out of nothing in order to choose happening some traffic on Labor daylight Weekend following it's always a torture yourself to find news. But I watched the video, and now, I don't think so. He is either an perfect master at keeping a straight slant even though he's joking, or the MCU was actually out of his vocabulary completely.
This total business is a good reminder to me and assumedly to new fans that for some of the people in the MCU and in new major franchises, the role really is just a job. Of course they're putting in maximum effort in order to reach a good job, but not all of them are obsessing just about where things are going or what might happen to their characters. They're getting a script in the mail. They're executing said script as best as they can, and next they're moving on to their next role or having dinner following their families or discharge duty new normal human physical stuff that doesn't have emotional impact posting wild theories online just about why Thanos did determined things in a determined order. In fact, following Elba has talked just about the MCU (without referring to it as such) in the past, it has often been to ventilate some stress with reference to the total process.
And that's OK. Sure, it's nice following some of the actors in major franchises really embrace the fandom, but ultimately, the total direct is to make as good of a movie as possible. Harrison Ford hasn't spent his entire energy going to devotee conventions, but I don't think any of us hope George Lucas would go back in grow old and cast someone else as Han Solo. He was right for that role, probably because he gives off a vibe that he's too frosty for it.
You can check out Elba's Yardie as it hits choose theaters this weekend.
