Why did they let him slip through the cracks?

Why did they let him slip through the cracks?

He was always oversold, you can't do that forever

the dude is getting old. he had his time.

If he gets cheap enough I'll hire him to star in my biopic.

He was in 17 Hollywood films since 2012.
If he wanted a leading role he shouldn't have esatblished himself as a supporting actor.
It's too late now.

No, his agent did.

Is Idris Elba the coldest Nigger Icy right now in Hollywood?

He's a bad actor.

He lost his touch ever since getting literally cucked

He's in the new Thor movie coming out is he not?

Hollywood didn't let him down, he just made terrible decisions with his roles like the Dark Tower.

He's overrated.
He's a nigger who speaks well and doesn't look like an ape.

i hope for your sake you're white

He should be cast as Thor.

No that can't be it. It has to be a race issue. I love how the media has decided to make idris their house nigger.

i like idris, we come from similar parts of London, i respect him immensely.

he's a fairly talented guy, never blows you away but a reliable performer. however in the past 5 years of roles in some big, big films, none of them have really been monumental success'.

dark tower, and the mandela film were flops.
pacific rim was mediocre and didn't do great at the box office. supporting roles like prometheus/star trek will keep coming, but he's hardly setting the world alight in those roles.

i think the truth is he needs a new kino HBO show. Luther has been overdone and is shit now. he's a guy you grow to love on screen, and he'd do just that if he was given a big role on TV again.

Would be appropriate, we Wuz WiKangz

>he's a guy you grow to love on screen
guy needs another wire with him running the show

Beasts of No nation was his best recent movie but it was kept quiet on Netflix

He's really not that good of an actor.
The Wire he didn't have to do much.
Luther proved he's a one trick pony.

>Luther doesn't exist

The media likes to pretend he's not the lead of a multiple season highly successful tv show and that all white people are racist and if idris starred in every movie then racism would be dead and all black people would be happy because look idris elba is on the screen

>Luther
>highly successful

Man I liked it too but let's not pretend it didn't to OK at best in terms of popularity.

This he was only good in the wire everything since he went full Edward Norton and over acted

You're an ape.

He played a major nordic god

t. jamal deshawn obango

He just needs the right role

Hollywood likes black men to be hyper-masculine or really funny.

The public finding out he was the victim of paternity fraud ruined his career.

He's shit, he's plain faced, he's ageing, and he's also whiny and racist towards white people. When he's in a film I don't bother going to see it. Why does he deserve roles just because he's black? If he was that good people would demand him, instead he takes white characters and ruins them then claims to be anti-racist and working for diversity.

He needs to stop being a racist cunt and only apply for black roles or roles that have no racial identity attached.

>when youre known for that one black actor that should play james bond for diversity reasons but never will

i'd watch it

What is Beasts of No Nation?

Idris Elba

>Luther has been overdone and is shit now.

Shit taste detected.

It doesn't count since it's britbong.

Would watch.

Uh he was just in the Dark Tower, an attempted summer blockbuster that would have been a series.

Too bad it was an ENORMOUS turd and he should lynch his agent for getting him involved with it.

They shoehorned this nigger into everything and whitewashed roles for his benefit.

And for the people saying Beasts of Nation was good, it wasn't. It was rehashed Apocalypse Now.

He's literally a nigger

>Dark Tower and IT in the same year
>No crossover/tie-in
>They're both low-risk and shitty

Not BLACKED.

Because he is not a box office draw, he is at best a discount Denzel Washington.

Some retards on /tv thinks the general public knows of Luther and The Wire, they don't.

He was totally miscast for that movie, everyone who ever read the books (as in core audience) saw the 'Gunslinger' as a Clint Eastwood looking guy with piercing blue eyes as this is how he is described in the books, first Viggo Mortensen was slated for the role, it wasn't until Sony Pictures picked up the project that they decided to cast Idris Elba...

That said at this point in time it's not as if it mattered who they cast as the second the project ended up in Sony/Akiva Goldsman hands, it was sure to be a turd.

Every entertainment journalist treats Idris like their own child/pet, not a grown-ass man.
Fella has a good career for an actor of his age.

If anybody's not showing him the respect he deserves, it's those people coddling him and wishing he was currently, what Will Smith was 20 years ago. In spite of the fact he's only a four years younger.

I hope he gets all your precious white roles.

He was pushed by the media bigtime to be 'the next James Bond' even though Craig has no intention of leaving, and now he's known as 'the guy who isn't Bond'.

Poor fucker's career was killed by IdPol busybodies trying to get him a role he had zero chance of getting.

He is just unlucky. He seems to be cast in movies that end up being really shit. Should have made him the next big actor who is in only good movies.

It's what happens when every role (at least I know of) you get is because you're black instead of the role fitting you.

>they're both shitty
>normies liked one of them
Why did they do this?

Imagine being a black actor and you hear about Reddit Elba all day, must be infiurating.

>Do me this favor Agu

It's fucking weird, he must be odd as fuck with all these strangers pitying him so often.

Pretty much
He gets roles, they've just been in a lot of shite movies

Samuel Jackosn is pissed as fuck he British blacks keep stealing his roles.

Rewatch his solo scenes in The Wire season 2 when Avon is in jail, the scenes with his girlfriend, they're the weakest scenes in the entire show. He had great presence and charisma in scenes where he was quiet and low-key, but when he had to act more dramatically, it was obvious he lacked talent.

wow a warlord comes across as chilling when filmed through the eyes of fucking child soldiers GIVE HIM THE OSCAR ALREADY

WE

He has the entire Hollywood behind him, but he still manages to fuck up.

SHITTED

>tfw no SHITTED.com kino

>Has Hollywood let him down?

When the fuck is it their business to help anyone? If so hollywoods let down 90% of the serving staff in LA. The mans been in enough shit his rich as fuck.
