‘Snowfall’ Actor Damson Idris Teams Up With Anthony Mackie For Sci-Fi Feature ‘Outside The Wire’

There’s no stopping Netflix as the giant content hub keeps coming with must-watch programming. The streaming service’s latest edition is the action, sci-fi feature film Outside The Wire.

Starring Anthony Mackie (Seberg) and Snowfall’s Damson Idris, the action-packed trailer shows Lieutenant Thomas Harp (Mackie) as an android military officer with superior abilities taking on huge robots. Leo (Idris), who is a disgraced drone operator, is assigned to go in the field with Harp to remove advanced doomsday weapons from beyond the wire.

Michael Kelly (House Of Cards), Emily Beecham (Cruella), and Enzo Cilenti (Luther) also star in the Mikael Håfström directed film. The script was penned by scribes Arash Amel, Rowan Athale, and Rob Yescombe.

Idris is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Originating from the UK, he developed his acting chops on the theater circuit before catapulting to the small screen.

The Nigerian actor would make his television debut on the show Miranda in 2013. A series of small roles in British TV would follow until he became the infamous South Central L.A. mastermind known as Franklin Saint in John Singleton’s hit series Snowfall in 2017. Not too long ago, the season 4 teaser for the FX original series that returns in 2021 was released.
