Eurweb is reporting that Idris Elba will join Sean Harris and Kate Dickie in the cast of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic “Prometheus,” according to the director himself via The Daily Mail. Scott also confirmed the previously announced casting of Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender and revealed that the actors, who’ve all signed secrecy clauses, were only allowed to read the script at Ridley’s production office.
