Recent Thor: The Dark World and Pacific Rim star Idris Elba took park in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) chat session. It goes without saying that Elba’s upcoming role in Jon Favaro’s live action remake of the classic Disney animated film, The Jungle Book was brought up. The Shere Khan actor is a true company man, insisting that The Jungle Book is his favorite Disney animated movie of all time. However, The Jungle Book takes a backseat to Idris other favorite Disney film, Mary Poppins.
During his Reddit AMA chat session, Idris Elba opened up about his favorite Disney films, telling fans:
“What is my favourite classic animated movie...dudududu... what is my favourite... that's a good question. At the risk of sounding corny, I think it is The Jungle Book. And it's not animated, but it fits in that world, Mary Poppins. I loved Mary Poppins. Classic, man, just classic! The songs, the animation, amazin'.”
However, it doesn’t matter how many spoons full of sugar you give the man, he still prefers to play the villain, telling another fan:
“I find villains way more compellin' to unearth their psyche. Writers love writing for villains because they can get a lot more off their chest, and it just means a lot more stuff for the actor to do. But good guys are also a challenge, because if you don't get the balance between being real and being, you know, a stereotypically good guy, your character can come across as corny. So each has its challenges, but I think being a bad guy has more.”
