I have to agree. I always preferred an A class voice actor for a character that isn't of celebrity likeness. Honestly hope this doesn't become the norm.

Edit: I'd also like to add that Idris Elba is a phenomenal actor and I'm excited to play the expansion.

Pretty much this is how the metal gear series ended up losing my interest. I want a good voice actor rather than just celebrities. It's enshittification.
