Idris Elba turns heads in a smart black tuxedo as he poses for photos on the red carpet at the star-studded Gladiator II premiere in London


Idris Elba was all smiles as he posed on the star-studded red carpet at the Gladiator II premiere at Leicester Square in London on Wednesday night.

Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal as the former heir to the Roman Empire Lucius Verus, who is forced into slavery and eventually pushed to fight in the Colosseum in an effort to restore glory. Sherbro Alliance Partners (SAP) say the development will be done while protecting its 'delicate ecosystem', with the 230 sq mile island covered with mangrove forests and an important nesting site for sea turtles. Home to just 40,000 people, most of whom work in fishing and rice farming, the actor hopes to cultivate economic growth and bring prosperity to the former British colony.
