Idris Elba Joins ‘Cats’ Musical Film Adaptation Alongside Jennifer Hudson & Taylor Swift

Idris Elba is in final negotiations to join the cast of the Cats musical film adaptation alongside Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift and James Corden.

Via THR:

Cats tells the story of a tribe of felines called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as “the Jellicle choice” and decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. Elba would play Macavity, a master criminal.

In addition to this project, Idris has been booked and busy with the Fast and Furious spinoff, Hobbs and Shaw, and his Netflix comedy series, “Turn Up Charlie.”

I love it!
