Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana must be putting in some serious gym time right now, as they negotiate roles in the upcoming big-screen version of Vertigo/DC comic The Losers.
Joining the already buff Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the pair will play a Special Forces team who are left for dead on a mission after being betrayed by their handler, but regroup for a spot of revenge against the CIA.
Elba - whose work on The Wire leads most people to forget that he's actually English - will bring JDM's scarred second-in-command and merciless mercenary Roque to life, while fast-rising Star Trek and **Avatar **starlet Saldana will play the quick-tempered and cold-blooded Aisha.
We've all had time to get used to the fact that** Stomp The Yard**'s Sylvain White is directing, although we are still hoping for some krunkin' dance-offs during the action set-pieces. And **Very Bad Things writer-director Peter Berg has been helping Zodiac **and **Spiderman 4 **scribe James Vanderbilt along with the script, so it might turn out to be a black comedy to boot.
