We beg you: don't do this, we've been waiting for this film franchise for so long, please do not destroy our dream.

Roland is a tall, thin blue-eyed man...and also...

Idris Elba is the wrong choice for this role. Completely destroys the entire story by doing this. In the Drawing of Three one of the characters is a black woman who has split personalities. The evil half hates white people and the dynamic between them is a HUGE part of the story and team dynamic. Doesn't work if the main character is also black.
