Idris Elba as the next James Bond

[Locke.]

Rumours have been around for a couple of years now, would you like this to happen?

Talking to Collider, Prometheus star Idris Elba has once again addressed the James Bond casting buzz surrounding him. Current 007 Daniel Craig (who stars in this November's Skyfall) has expressed interest in playing the English super spy again in future, so when and if this will ever happen remains completely unknown at this point. "I keep getting asked about James Bond, and that surprises me," revealed the actor. "At first, I was like, "Oh, that’s cool, but it’s just a rumor." But, I’ve had really long discussions with fans about why they think I would be perfect, why it would be revolutionary and why I should do it. It’s quite deep. If the fans have any power, I’ll probably be the next James Bond, but I don’t think that’s how they do it."

"I'd definitely consider it," he told host Linda Wertheimer. "I just don't want to be the black James Bond. Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond; so if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond."

There'd be too much controversy if Idris was Bond, they'd never do it. which is a shame, cause he'd be good

Jim Caviezel :love:

Jim Caviezel :love:

I like him! :pipe:

[Locke.]

Caviezel is American, he deserves to get much better roles than he currently gets though

[Shaun]

Idris Elba or Paterson Joseph pls

[Glenn.]

Look. People had a hard enough time with Daniel Craigs blond hair. I think a black man playing Bond would cause chaos.

I'm in no way racist.

[Shaun]

I honestly don't think any sane people would give a **** if he was a good actor, which Elba is.

[Marc]

Go for it. Pls

[Joelle.]

It needs to happen :worship:

Think Fassbender would make a good bond as well.

Looks like there is a real chance of this actually happening:

Blond Bond Daniel Craig is soon to make his third film appearances as the debonair 007 in the long awaited Skyfall. Critics are already raving about the film and Craig's more cantankerous new version of the aging super agent. So, maybe it's too soon to consider who might take on the iconic role next. But guys, seriously, how cool would it be to have Idris Elba as James Bond?

Rumors about Elba stepping into the role's next iteration have been floating about for a while now. Last fall, Elba confessed he was more than eager to take on the part, should it be offered. But unfortunately for fans that have come to adore him--be it from his growling gravitas on Luther or his excellent work on The Wire--no further news on that possibility has surfaced…until now.

Speaking with The Huffington Post, Skyfall star Naomie Harris surprisingly confirmed that Elba has in fact had a legit discussion to take on the iconic role. Asked if she has any favorites to be the first black Bond, Harris responded:

"I didn’t realize that there was this talk and then I did a film with Idris [Elba] and he said that he met Barbara Broccoli [James Bond producer] and that it does seem like there is a possibility in the future that there could very well be a black James Bond. And I would have to vote for Idris because I just finished working with him and he’s a great guy."

Harris and Elba recently wrapped production on the biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, in which they portray Winnie and Nelson Mandela respectively. But more importantly, Idris Elba has met with a producer who has worked on every Bond film since 1987's The Living Daylights! Of course, this doesn't mean that Elba is a lock for the part, as it's likely Broccoli has met with other actors to feel out this possibility of recasting. But while HuffPo offers a poll that suggests Will Smith, Denzel Washington, LL Cool J, and Jamie Foxx as options (even though they're all Americans, and thereby ineligible), I don't think these performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Elba.

Dear movie gods, please make this happen!

"Asked if she has any favorites to be the first black Bond, Harris responded"

Makes it seem as if they are only looking at Black males just so they can play off the whole "First Black Bond". Ergh..
