Idris Elba is Heimdall in Thor

Source: Superhero Hype

Idris Elba was cast as Heimdall, the Asgardian who stands guard on the BiFrost Bridge.  He joins Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Colm Feore, Samuel L. Jackson, Stellan Skarsgard, and Stuart Townsend.

I think this is great. Elba is one of the premiere black actors and doesn’t get nearly the pub that he should.  He would’ve been my pick for any numerous black superheroes, but this is a perfect role for him. Props to Marvel for making this move.
