Idris Elba Says He'd Handle a Hijack Worse Than Sam Nelson as Season 2 of 'Hijack' Rolls Out on Apple TV

He shares that the team even floated making Sam the hijacker during development.

Overview

  • In interviews published Jan. 19, Elba tells People he would fare worse than his character in a real hijacking.
