Idris Elba Net Worth: After ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ And With James Bond Casting Rumors, What Is Idris Elba’s Net Worth?

Following the success of the iconic HBO show "The Wire," where he co-starred as drug kingpin Stringer Bell, Idris Elba's net worth has done nothing but grow in the past decade, as the dashing British actor makes his way into more and more mainstream films.

The last movie to see Idris Elba's net worth rise was the Marvel Cinematic Universe "Avengers" sequel "Age of Ultron," where he reprised his role of Heimdall, the all-seeing and all-hearing guardian sentry of the Bifröst rainbow bridge in Asgard.

However, even though the role has opened a lot of doors for the "Luther" actor and greatly increased Idris Elba's net worth, the actor has been outspoken in the past about the fact that his Marvel contract (which are famously long, extending sometimes to five or six movies) often prevents him from pursuing other projects.

That hardly seems to be the case for the actor right now, though, as Idris Elba's net worth is set for a big boost: his IMDb page shows that the "Prometheus" star currently has no less than eight projects in different stages of development, though one hasn't yet been confirmed; namely, his supposed villain in the upcoming "Star Trek" sequel - besides how he's been rumored to be the next James Bond for a few months now.

However, his profile in the site still hasn't shown "Thor: Ragnarok," the third installment of the films starring Chris Hemsworth, a film he's more or less confirmed in.

The latest release date for his movies is in 2017, as he appears in a few big projects such as the "Finding Nemo" confirmed sequel "Finding Dory," and voicing Shere Khan in the new version of "The Jungle Book" - projects that are all set to make Idris Elba's net worth rise considerably.

The actor only recently finished shooting a "Luther" special for BBC One set for a late-year release.

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Idris Elba's net worth at $12 million.
