I love Idris Elba as an actor, but I still think of James Bond as being the same person, even if the actors change, so I think it would be weird to suddenly make Bond a black guy. I'd still watch it if it happened, but it would be kind of off-putting.

I don't mind. He's an awesome actor and I think he'd do well in the role

He's an awesome actor with amazing screen presence. Bonds been a scot, a Welshman, an Irishman too. This guy actually is British. So no complaints. He would be sweet as Bond.

Or if people complain too much make him another double O in a movie. Like 4 or an 8.

I think it'd be funnier if they'd cast a woman as James Bond. Or make him gay. I'd like that.

but, but, but... what about the tradition of bond girls and the overall male audience? only way this might work is taking for example her

and making her lesbian.  

I think the reason they talked about him being the new bond because Daniel Craig does not like playing bond. He has been hoping that each movie flops so he can terminate it early.

Now onto the topic. He is a good actor but I would not put him as bond simply for the reasons OP outlined. The character is already envisioned to be a white middle aged man with Scottish and British roots.

It is the same reason why you would not do a movie about a white samurai in Japan fighting against his former colleagues. Oh wait Hollywood did go there lol.

Well I do have an upperclass brit accent soo .. :P

I find it to be quite amusing how you mention that you are not only having a british accent but an upperclass british accent. Splendid my dear friend.

Well then good night. Cheerio.

Accent, not dialect :P
