Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela: Trailer released for Mandela: Long Walk to
Freedom
Idris Elba plays
South Africa's anti-apartheid icon in the film
Today cinemagoers got their first look
at a full trailer for the upcoming Nelson Mandela biopic.
Luther star
Idris Elba plays South Africa's anti-apartheid icon in the film, set for
release in November, leaving both the film and Elba in Oscar contention.
Earlier this month a much less revealing teaser trailer was released, showing little of how the
British actor will look in character. But this latest release gives away a lot
more of what the film will focus on - the future Nobel peace laureate's younger
days as a fighter against white political supremacy.
Speaking about the role earlier this
year, Elba said: "I learnt a lot about the man and his life, and I learnt
a lot about sacrifice."
