Idris Elba is in talks to join the cast of Warner Bros’ "King Arthur," playing a Merlin-like character who trains and mentors Arthur. An actor has yet to be cast for the title role.
Guy Ritchie is attached to direct the movie, from a script penned by Joby Harold, with Akiva Goldsman and Tory Tunnell producing.
This King Arthur story follow a long line of King Arthur movies over the years, including one directed by our man Antoine Fuqua, in 2004, which starred Clive Owen as the title character.
In Arthurian legend, Merlin, in short, is King Arthur’s adviser, a prophet, bard and a magician.
Catch the busy Monsieur Elba next, playing a bad guy, in the Will…
