Stay calm! The Wire’s McNulty and Stringer Bell are teaming up once again

Just when you thought this Thursday couldn’t get any better…

Just when you thought this Thursday couldn’t get any better…

The Wire fans will be delighted to hear the news that their beloved characters Jimmy McNulty and Stringer Bell will once again be on our screens together.

The pair have been signed up for the new Finding Nemo film, titled Finding Dory. Shortlist Magazine spoke to Dominic West, the man who played McNulty in the hugely popular TV series, who revealed that he will be starring alongside Idris Elba (Russell ‘Stringer’ Bell) in the new Disney movie.

While this may not be the reunion that many of The Wire fans will have been hoping for, and their new project will undoubtedly be aimed at a different audience than the Baltimore crime drama, it can only be a good thing to see, or at least hear, West and Elba on screen together again, albeit in fish form.

We feel some sort of fishing/aquatic/The Wire pun is necessary here, but we just can’t get over the fact that the ‘cast off’* The Wire are re-uniting…

*JOE concedes that this is a terrible pun and grammatically incorrect. We regret nothing.

Hat tip to Shortlist Magazine.
