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."
