    It was criminal that he had so little screen time in American Gangster. A good movie if you’ve never seen it.

    He did such a great job in Cyberpunk, Solomon Reed had such a great backstory behind a strong character

  34. @droopy992001

    April 26, 2024 at 9:32 am

    I’m always disappointed when he doesn’t sound like Heimdall.

    It’s a shame he doesn’t want the Bond role, because he’d be brilliant in it.

    Idris is the greatest Heimdall ever.

  51. @andrewveto

    April 26, 2024 at 10:30 pm

    He did this again because he didn’t like the first one.

    This one sucked too.

  52. @saradapagediocletian9707

    April 27, 2024 at 6:09 am

    Just when i thought he couldn’t get any better. The man drives an electric car with an orange interior, and has a healthy appetite.

    “I have the orange interior, just in case you wonder.”
    “One and only Arsenal.”

    A man of the culture, I see…

  60. @TLe-nf9lo

    April 27, 2024 at 7:56 am

    LIKE if you can see Idris Elba playing the next James Bond

  61. @lindareed8265

    April 27, 2024 at 8:04 am

    I have even more respect for his acting now that I know what his natural form of “giddly” looks like. LOL, he’s so subdued!!!

  62. @TheFirefox

    April 27, 2024 at 11:57 am

    “DR IE OBE” is an awesome email sign-off.

    Let’s be honest the most searched question is about whether he is in the James Bond.

    the fact that he was that savage about Arsenal has made me like him even more.

  87. @Autonate_42

    There needs to be one with Idris and Keanu just for having Johnny Silverhand and Soloman Reed in one place.
