Luther: The Fallen Sun, the first movie adventure for Idris Elba’s morally (and fashionably) grey detective, follows up five series’ worth of shenanigans in the successful BBC TV thriller. That’s a lot of murder, character development and shocking moments. The Fallen Sun has been designed to work as a standalone story as well as a continuation of the show, but with a world this complex, context is everything.
So, if you want to refresh your memory so you’re ready to catch all of The Fallen Sun’s cheeky references, or even if you’re new to the world of Luther and want to find out how we got to this point, here’s a handy primer on the story so far…

As series three of Neil Cross' Luther, starring Idris Elba, is poised to arrive on BBC One, Tom tells us why it well deserves our time...
This feature contains plot overviews but no real spoilers for Luther series one and two.
You might have seen the adverts on telly – the BBC’s Luther is back. The cult series returns to our screens in July, but the first two series may well have passed many people by. Writer Neil Cross will have recently appeared on the geek radar of some people for the first time, having penned two episodes of the seventh series of Doctor Who - The Rings of Akhaten and Hide. He's been around a little while though.
He was lead scriptwriter for the BBC spy drama Spooks for two seasons, and in 2010 he was given the chance to create his own crime series,...

Word has it that "Luther" villain Ruth Wilson is up for the role of Carol Danvers — aka Ms. Marvel — in Joss Whedon's "Avengers" sequel. While the possibility remains firmly in the rumor category, we couldn't stop our minds from running wild with the idea of secret serial killer Alice Morgan carrying the banner as one of the greatest heroes the Marvel Universe has to offer. But what about the rest of the "Luther" cast? Who would they play in Wilson's "Ms. Marvel" movie? Here's what we came up with.
Warning: "Luther" spoilers ahead!
Ruth Wilson as Ms. Marvel
Although I'd always be worried that she'd be this close to seeking out Asgard and going completely psycho-postal on Heimdall, I see why Wilson's name is being connected to Carol Danvers. Physically, Wilson is a perfect fit for one of Marvel's finest heroes, capable of overpowering any villain with little more than a look.
