Idris looks nothing like him and has no cultural links to SA or Mandela...

Even the complexion and skin tone is wrong. angry

That said, I think Nonso Diobi should have been given the role cool

i knew a dumb was going to quote .but i wasn't excepting the dumbest one. What does his nationality has to do with the accent they used? Please don't quote me when u are seeing ur periods. Hollywood is well known to always give funny accents to actors playing The African role . Take lord of war , bourne identity , to list a few. This is so stereotypical.besides SA don't speaking that way and Americans don't speak that way so I'm right,they overdid it eh eh that's some funny west af accent. And go easy with ur inferiority complex everyone has an accent.you can also check hotel Rwanda.ewu

I agree...

It's shocking that Di Caprio had a better Boer/SA accent in Blood Diamond than Elba in this movie


Nonso Diobi could have done much better

Morgan Freeman already acted as Mandela in a movie.

Idris Elba is too young plus he's too physically built to portray Nelson Mandela. I'm yet to come to terms to the fact that he was made to play a pastor in one movie like that that also starred Donnie Mclurkin.

freeman looks too old to be acting as Mandela before 1994
