Idris Elba has teased the return of detective John Luther in his 2023 film.
The star, 50, shared a picture online of his character, who will return next year in Luther: The Fallen Sun.
Dermot Crowley is also set to reprise his role as detective Martin Schenk, while Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis are joining the cast.
Captioning the image, previously shared by Netflix, on his Instagram page, Elba wrote: "He's back...
"Luther: The Fallen Sun. March 2023. See you soon."
The picture shows the hot-headed detective in what appears to be an underground tunnel, sporting an inquisitive expression.
Other images released by Netflix show DCI Luther as he walks across a mountainous, snow-covered landscape in his signature tweed coat.
In another, he has both arms outstretched, appearing to calm down a situation.
Speaking to Empire magazine about the highly anticipated Luther film, Elba said: "We break out of the gritty streets of London, we take it outside of that a little bit.
"That's great. It feels like now we're entering a different life of the Luther experience."
Elba also serves as a producer on the film, which has been written by Luther creator Neil Cross and directed by returning director Jamie Payne.
Luther: The Fallen Sun is scheduled for release in March 2023.
