Idris Elba in Final Talks to Star in MOUSE GUARD

Mouse Guard is a comic from BOOM! Studios that is being adapted into a film. It had already cast Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Andy Serkis and now Idris Elba is in final negotiations.

If cast, Elba will play Celanawe who is described as “an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like figure who was once a legendary champion and now thought long gone.”

Mouse Guard is a set in a medieval world and tells of an order of mice who are the sworn protectors of their realm. Enemies range from predators such as foxes and eagles to other rodents.

Serkis is playing the villain in the story “the Guard’s blacksmith known as Midnight who turns against it.” Brodie-Sangster is playing Lieam,” one of the Guard’s newest and youngest members who will be called upon to prove his bravery.”

Mouse Guard is a graphic novel that was created by David Peterson.
