Idris Elba has reignited one of Hollywood's longest-running casting debates, and all it took was a wax figure and a well-timed music cue. Elba, who was recently at Madame Tussauds London to see his new wax statue, shot a teasing TikTok video tied to the lore surrounding the debate over Bond's casting.
Set to the unmistakable James Bond theme, the clip pans past wax figures of former 007 actors before landing squarely on Elba, who strikes a confident pose at the end of the lineup. Although the moment was brief, playful, and captioned as 'Wifey made me do it,' fans took it as a wink.
