The New York-based movie is the directorial debut of Khurram Longi and focuses on the relationship between an ex-Guantanamo Bay detainee and a woman on the run from a ruthless crime boss.

Worthington will play crime boss Murphy in the Thunder Road Pictures drama, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The pair join the cast alongside previously announced Noomi Rapace, who will play the female lead Sarah.

Basil Iwanyk and Peter Lawson are producing, while Rapace will act as executive producer.

Worthington recently signed up to reprise his role in all three of the upcoming Avatar sequels.

Meanwhile, Elba has teased the possibility of a movie adaptation of his hit TV show Luther.
