Idris has compared Luther to Bond in an exclusive interview with TotalFilm. He told them: “It’s not a competition, but I mean Bond as a model for the kind of film we’re looking for,” adding: “John is a main character in a film of which he is the hero. That’s the comparison I’m making. Some movies do well, Bond is one of them. But my ambition is for it to have that kind of scale, that reverence. I want people to say, ‘Ooh! Luther, the first movie? Wicked.’ And to continue that. And then maybe later on, when he’s too old, someone else will step in to play John.”
