Idris Elba cut a stylish figure as he promoted Luther: The Fallen Sun in London's Leicester Square in front of an A-list audience at the premiere.

The Hollywood legend was joined by his wife Sabrina Dhowre Elba as they posed up a storm for the hoards of cameras while looking like a giddy loved-up couple.

Idris, 50, looked dapper as he rocked a pale purple double-breasted suit and matching shirt for the occasion while opting for a pair of black brogues to keep his feet warm.

Meanwhile, Sabrina, 34, slipped into a floor-length black dress which perfectly accentuated her gym-honed physique while attention was drawn to her waist with a silver-studded belt.

Idris and Sabrina wrapped their arms around one another as they happily posed on the black carpet showcasing their love for each other.

Sabrina rocked oversized white earrings which contrasted against her black dress while her painted red nails gave a pop of colour.

While walking the red carpet at the premiere, Idris explained that there was "a lot of pressure" to ensure that old fans of the film were also attracted to the latest instalment.

He told the PA news agency: "But when you love doing what you're doing it doesn't feel like work.

"We took about three years to get this right and get the scripts right and get the ingredients right, and I think we got it right."

Addressing how he managed to delve into the headspace to take on such a dark storyline, he went on to explain: "A lot of it is just getting into the script and the writing and the story and the why and the who.

"I think it's written so well that it's quite easy to step back in.

"What's not easy is just making sure you're hitting real emotions, that's what the audience expects."

Idris' outing comes days after he shut down speculation that he was preparing to take on the role of the famous 007 spy, James Bond after becoming the bookie's favourite.

Speaking at the World Government Summit, he of his new film: "We've been working on the television show for about 10 years and so the natural ambition is to take it to the big screen, and so we're here with the first movie."

He added: "You know, a lot of people talk about another character that begins with 'J' and ends with 'B,' but I'm not going to be that guy, I'm going to be John Luther, that's who I am."
