Idris Elba, well it could be worse...... they could go for a female Bond, as they did with Dr Who........ They may just as well go the whole hog. I think the next Bond should be a black, disabled, Muslim, homosexual, vegan.

When there is a next bond, my suggestion would be the guy who plays Ragnor in Vikings, Travis Fimmel. Craig is too old....but I agree, he has been brilliant. Travis is too short.....I know what you mean though, he has that other worldly presence.

If it wasn't done with an agenda it wouldn't piss me off so much. I think Elba can play Bond, he has that persona, still....I'm fed up with old Bonds. Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Aug 2018 5.20pm)

Pierce Brosnan and George Lazenby are non British. And look how well that went. Lazenby lasted one film and Brosnan's efforts were dire.

Wasn't James Bond black in the original books? Regardless, if his change in hair colour etc over the years hasn't been an issue, his skin colour shouldn't. Way more important things for people to worry about these days You'd think but Samuel L Jackson complained when Daniel Kaluuya was cast as the lead in Get Out on the basis that he was English, and that interracial relationships are so common here compared to in the USA.

You've not seen Undercover Brother then? Two Face in the Batman films has been played by white and black actors.

I don't want Batman, Superman, James Bond or any other heroic figure to become Black anymore that Black audiences want the Black Panther, Luther or Shaft to turn White. Hell, I don't want them to be White either. They are fine as they are. It's not complicated.

I've no issue with someone breaking through due to meritocracy....if someone screen tests the best I'd overlook the ethnicity stuff.....though I agree with you that Bond is meant to be white, just as Shaft is meant to be black.
