material to create such a work. Well, according to recent declarations by the star, hope is ignited. In an interview, reported by CBR, between the journalist Erik Davis and the star, an interesting detail emerged.

Idris Elba himself, in fact, admitted that in the future we will see him as part of a major DC project, but has not specified what it is. And was he referring to the Bloodsport-centric title? Obviously, at present, we have too little information to speculate, however, by joining the points, it would not be so strange to see the realization in question also taking into account the experimentalism that Detective Comics has been implementing in the last period.
