Idris Elba Joining Taylor Swift, Sir Ian McKellan In Cats Adaptation
Apparently Shere Khan isn’t done with Cats. The Jungle Book and Luther actor Idris Elba has joined the cast of The Danish Girl director Tom Hooper’s upcoming adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stage musical, alongside an all-star cast.
Already on board are Lord of the Rings‘ Sir Ian McKellan, entertainer James Corden, and pop stars Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift. The film, which is being produced by Universal Studios, ran for 21 years in the West End and 18 years on Broadway.
Idris Elba is currently filming the gleefully-anticipated Fast and Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, which will pit him as the antagonist against Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s fan-favourites.
Cats is eyeing a December 20th, 2019 release.
