The decision to kill off Idris Elba's character in The Wire was not a popular one — not least with Idris himself — but the fate of Stringer Bell was almost a lot, lot darker. While reflecting on his final scenes as the drug kingpin, Idris Elba told The Hollywood Reporter that his original exit was an "absolute tragedy", one which he demanded was changed entirely before filming began.
