Idris Elba portrays "Roque" and Jeffrey Dean Morgan portrays "Clay" in "The Losers."
'THE LOSERS'
Idris Elba and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, from left, portray leaders of an elite - and very secret - special-forces type squad known as "The Losers" in a new PG-13-rated action film of the same name. When their equally secret bosses decided the team knows too much, they frame The Losers for crimes they didn't commit. But The Losers are not about to go quietly. Much gunfire, explosions and snappy catchphrases ensue. The cast also includes Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans and Jason Patric. The film is scheduled to open Friday, April 23, in area theaters.
