Happy Birthday! Idris Elba Turns 43 Today

Today we are cancelling the apocalypse! In honor of Idris Elba's birthday!

The English actor, Idris Elba, has become best known in our comic book world for his roles in Pacific Rim as Stacker Pentecost and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Heimdall, Asgard's gatekeeper and all-seer at the Bifrost. In addition to these roles, Elba has showed off his acting chops in Prometheus, 28 Weeks Later, and Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. Some have even been campaigning to have Elba be the next James Bond.

Prior to fame, would you believe Elba was working as a DJ at nightclubs under the pseudonym "Big Driis"? Believe it! We all start somewhere!

Happy birthday, Idris Elba!
