Idris Elba is a very busy man these days, but not so busy that he won’t take time to reunite with Guy Ritchie after their success with RocknRolla.

The pair are reportedly discussing teaming up again for Ritchie’s upcoming film Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur; before you get too excited, though, we have to tell you: it’s not to play Arthur. Instead, it’s for the role of Bedivere, an older knight (and buddy of Arthur’s late father) who mentors young Arthur on the ways of being a warrior. Basically, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The movie isn’t slated to be released until July of 2016, so Elba’s got some time to spread out all his work. He can even take on a couple more roles if he's feeling particularly ambitious, which it sure seems like he is.
