    Idris elba would make a fantastic bond !!!! But i like how you left out movies would have disproved your point . Roles such as luther , rock n'rolla , the losers among others . The guy said it's not to do with race ,its just his opinion and i would say thats a fair assumption when you consider idris elbas full filmography and not just the hollywood stuff ….that said id love to see idris elba as bond ,and it's been spoken about so much now that it has to happen! !!!!

    Im not racist no matter what your opinion is of what I think but I always think it should be a white guy every actor who has played him is a whit actor because James Bond is white I understand why some people wants to replace him with a black guy to be in modern times but it will ruin it for me personally if there was a black guy because I grew up with watching James Bond and I probably wouldn't pay to watch my character be completely changed

    Well, one would have to look at the origins of the James Bond books, and understand the fact that the original author, Ian Fleming came from an era where at which it was common and acceptable to depict non British characters in "a" not so appealing light… Not to mention the fact that there are also several articles that depict Ian Fleming's writing as Sexist, Racist and Sadistic in nature as well… I for one enjoyed reading the books as a kid, but now as an adult find some chapters quite difficult to stomach.

    idris should be the next bond, been saying it for years. the only standard to judge, would be if the actor is british. the other guy is not believable. craig has brought a level of toughness, physique, and more of a tough bond… all of which idris has. if that other guy gets it over elba, i shall resign to private life never to emerge.

    Well if the script calls for random looting… negro please :)
    Here's the thing and no pc hysteria can protect you from the truth. The truth is racist. You are ok with racism when it says black people can dunk or when Kenyans dominate 5000 meter running or when it's about male member size. But lower MIT attendance, that's where we draw the line and it becomes racist.
    It is what it is. Pretending that it's not real is not really the wise way to handle it.
    In the grand philosophical scheme of things, it's hard to say why some are smarter than others. Is there a justice to it. Who knows, but it is what it is. Deal with it.

    He could play Shaft :)
    I'm sorry, that was very racist of me. I think Edris Elba should play Isaac Newton. It's the right thing to do. or Jesus.

    Fuck this.

    James Bond is a white character.

    This is it, folks! The death of white Europe. Every white character is going to be made black, so as to deprive us of our "superheroes" – of men we want to be when we get older.

    James Bond was white in the books , thats what he is , he is a strong male white character so whats wrong with casting a white actor to play him … and before all the 'you are racist' comments come along , no im not , I simply believe that some things should be left alone , and James Bond being a white character is one of them ….. One of my favourite book characters is James Pattersons Alex Cross , He is a strong male black character and id be equally as passionate if it was suggested a white actor play him in a movie
