Topic	Producers are 'leaning toward' Idris Elba as the next James Bond
Hicks233 08/10/18 10:48:58 AM #82:	EnragedSlith posted... If they wanted to do a black Bond, Michael B Jordan or the guy who played Black Panther would both be good options. Idris Elba oozes suave, but hes definitely a little older than Bond should normally be, though I still think hes a perfect fit and Id love to see him in that role. So do we need a black Bond? I dont think its of particular importance, but I think a different take on the character would be refreshing. Its also a cool way to put a black actor as the lead, which is isnt some terrible thing, given that the role doesnt really call for any sort of person in particular save male, British, and suave. If they did a "00-" film and wanted to cast a Black male in the role then it would be nice to see Colin Salmon [in previous Bond films] given the chance, either him or Chiwetel Ejiofor I'd really like to see. "James Bond" is a White man though, no matter how much segments of the media screech about diversity. An alternate series [which could be good to inject some vitality into the 00- series] could have a new 00- agent and for that, Chiwetel Ejiofor would be great. Don't get the fascination with Idris Elba though. --- http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=9458 So says Mr. Stewart. <cite>Hicks233 posted [p:906625348] in Producers ...
