Detectives and hackers seem to be enjoying a renaissance right now, thanks in large part to Rian Johnson's projects like Glass Onion and Peacock's refreshing detective anthology Poker Face . But before there was Benoit Blanc or Charlie Cale, there was John Luthor, and Idris Elba had long hoped to bring the master detective to life on film. That time has finally arrived as Luthor. Fallen Sun will be available to Netflix subscribers on Friday, March 10, following a limited theatrical release beginning today, February 24. Fortunately, the reviews tell us if it was worth the wait.
Luthor ended in 2019 after five seasons. When Idris Elba returns as the character, he will be joined by newcomers Cynthia Eriva as Chief Inspector Odette Raine and Andy Serkis as serial killer David Robbie.
