The actors known for playing drug kingpin Stringer Bell and bad-boy cop Jimmy McNulty will both lend their voices to the wholesome Pixar sequel, West [told](http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/films/exclusive-west-and-elba-reunite-for-finding-nemo-2 "undefined") _ShortList_ this week. Though the kids’ movie probably will not involve an underwater shoot-out, Pixar has a history of nodding to cultural landmarks, like _2001: A Space Odyssey_ in _WALL-E_ and _The Shining_ in _Toy Story 3_. So adults in the audience might be treated to a few sly drug-dealing references in _Finding Dory_. Elba and West join an all-star cast for the cartoon. Ellen DeGeneres will return as Dory and Albert Brooks as Marlin. Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy and Ty Burrell have also signed on for the sequel. \[[_ShortList_](http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/films/exclusive-west-and-elba-reunite-for-finding-nemo-2 "undefined")\] Idris Elba and Dominic West of The Wire Reunite in Finding Dory ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3338850/the-wire-reunion-finding-dory/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3338850/the-wire-reunion-finding-dory/"},"headline":"There's Going to Be a Wire Reunion in the Finding Nemo Sequel","datePublished":"2014-09-12T12:35:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:09:09.398Z","description":"Stringer Bell and Jimmy McNulty are moving from the mean streets of Baltimore to the friendly seas of Austraila","url":"https://time.com/3338850/the-wire-reunion-finding-dory/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdcbc36a03ca9a360/6986a2f535ba6faca6c03c07/idris-elba-dominic-west.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdcbc36a03ca9a360/6986a2f535ba6faca6c03c07/idris-elba-dominic-west.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Idris elba dominic west","caption":"Idris Elba and Dominic West","creditText":"Dave J Hogan—Getty Images for Invictus Games; Frederick M.
