I doubt Idris Elba demands appeasement but even if he did, can you
imagine the reactions of Stringer Bell or Luthor? DEI would die around
the two of them if real-life characters.

I've said this before but Elba was such a good actor there was NEVER a
hint of any London accent in playing Stringer. He's one of the few
British actors who successfully portray Americans.
