Another change just so that they can say that they're not racist.

Stupid, I love him and have no issue with a black bond, but he is only being pushed as a bond candidate BECAUSE he is black. There will be other black actors in a decades time that would make more sense as well.

For some reason I heard you say this in a brittish accent.

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

Oh lord! There goes the fantasy

He doesn't seem to have a secret agent feel to him. Nothing wrong with him being black though, he just doesn't feel like a Bond.

Isn't James Bond more popular in countries in the EU region? How would they handle a black James Bond?

Considering that Daniel Craig has 2 more movies contracted to him, we will be looking at the next Bond hitting cinemas in around 6 Years time. When you consider that Elba right now is 42 and will be pushing 50 by the time he could realistically take hold of the character, he will be too old.

I would go for Tom Hardy or Henry Cavill from the current big elite. Cavill was actually considered for Casino Royale.


Hell yes

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.  

That would make Ian Fleming cry. And make lots of people in the cinemas fap.
