People were blown away when they heard Idris Elba talking in his natural accent because that man took his performance seriously. That man BECAME Stringer bell. I literally can't imagine anyone else playing that character.
As good as Daniel is, he just might not have it. If he was younger, I would've liked to see what JD Washington could do in the role.

His accent does sound weird in the trailer...His accent was pitch perfect in Queen and Slim/Get out......I'm excited about the movie tho.
Dude from Snowfall sounds good (after season 1)...but WC helped him.
I thought Idris was from America until years after the wire. Some people can do it and some cant.

The black man is always targeted.
That’s exactly what the white casting director wanted. A black caricature.HE SOUNDS LIKE SOME STEREOTYPE
HES SEEN IN BLAXPLOITATION FILMS.
Bruh...when I first heard his real voice I was like what the fukk is this.
shyt is incredible how he changes his voice.
Dude literally sounds like a black brit trying to sound like an american black man. The accent is fake as hell
He sounds like Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder
It was a terrible choice all around. Fred Hampton was light skin or brown skin at the darkest as well as build well. This nikka is a dark skin skinny African. Its a joke they even considered him.
Plus I've never really found this Daniel Kaluuya guy to be a good actor in anything he's done thus far. He just seems like he's being forced into roles he's not suited for. He must either be sukking mad dikks in Hollywood or has some jewish ancestry we don't know about.
He was a trash choice. Stop caping for this African.
If you cats are gonna catch feelings over a light skin man potentially playing a fictional African superhero in Black Panther then how can we stand for this dark skin African playing a light brown skin brotha like Fred Hampton.
Plus Fred Hampton was built. He wasn't skinny like this clown Kaluuya.
Who is the actor who "deserves" to play Fred Hampton? An actual Black Panther? Someone who really grew up in 1950s/60s Chicago?So I'm supposed to watch a African from London or some shyt play Fred fukking Hampton?
I'm good.
It's"acting". Should I be upset that Jamie Foxx isn't blind? That Will Smith isn't a boxer or belong to the Nation of Islam?
One day y'all tell me that black actors only advance in hollywood by giving up the bussy and selling out to Jews, the next moment you're talking like there's some actor who has the special "right" to play Fred fukking Hampton as if anyone "deserves" that just by being born in the right country.
Shaka King picked Daniel for the role and Fred Hampton Jr. co-signed it. Y'all say the dumbest fake militant shyt for daps.
