Idris Elba rumored to be next Bond

[ProBoxingInsidr]

wouldnt a black guy stand out a little more? not quite what you are going for when you are a spy. should have just cast Lupita Nyong'o and covered all their bases

 

[A.S. Deep]

I usually don't like it when characters change race, but I'm down for this. Even though Elba is black, I can totally picture him as Bond.

 

[Phlog]

Idris is a quality actor. If he gets the Bond role, are they going to change his history as well? From a Scottish Father and Swiss mother too Wakandan?

There are Scottish and Swiss black people. I don't really get your point?

 

[ThulsaDooom]

O yes a black guy exactly what I think of when someone says James Bond.

Fucking PC bullshit.

Your manbaby tears are delicious and I could feast on the likes of these for centuries. I despise weak inbreds opining about "dah PC koolcha" and acting like such overly dramatic cunts because of a fictional character is both hilarious and sad. Just sad how dumb you lot are.

Same thing could've been said to Craig before he did Casino royale lol

that movie sucked tho

eva green didnt even show her perfect knockers if i remember so it didnt even have that going for it

 

[LuchaBear]

Prove me wrong with some evidence .

I'm a huge Elba fan, he'd make a great agent, but I'd rather they make him a 00-something else. Bond has always been a white guy. Bond has grown a bit stale, so I'd like to see them put a different agent in the spotlight, maybe a duo with Craig as Bond, then do a spin off. Making Bond black is only going to cause controversy, can't you already see the "racist toxic fandom strikes again" headlines?

I mean, pretty sure there are a lot more non white people in the world than there are white people.

I'm just guessing though.

Idris would make a good fit in Bond universe. Like what they did with Bourne series and casting Renner.

Oh my bad. I meant caucasian.

Western geopolitical enemies are like Russia, China, North Korea, Iran ... I can't see why a black spy would have any trouble infiltrating any of these places

i get that you are trying to be a smartass, but there are more white people than black people? just a guess. also, i am far from an expert on james bond, as i have only seen a few and that was many, many years ago. butisnt he a spy in situations in which it is mostly white people around? especially in the places he would be, it would be a much higher percentage of white people. therefore, a black man would stand out more, possibly making him easier to spot? but again, i realize you are just being a douche sjw. let me guess, i am racist?

well, as i said in my last post, i know next to nothing about the character or the shit he does. so you may be correct

 

[Calibur]

This is fucking stupid.

As a black guy from one of the former colonies. I love Idris but James Bond’s entire gimmic relies on him being able to infiltrate the former British colonies and fit right in.

It doesn’t matter how suave Idris is, the second he goes to a dinner party in Hungary or Sweden or even El Salvador, the Butler is going to say “who the FUCK is that black guy. Get him out of here!”

A black man can be a British spy.

A black man can’t be James Bond.

 

[Coolthulu]

he's too old and too "big". If you're gonna do a black reboot I say go for Lakeith Stanfield.

better actor, more charismatic, and has the right physical dimensions.

That could work in an amazingly demented Halloween episode of Atlanta.

There's literally an entire world for them to make Bond stories. Aside from that, there are black people in most parts of the world. There aren't more white people than black people in the world.

I'm not a sjw, and I don't think you're racist. You just don't know what you're talking about and probably don't have an accurate world view. You're also easily angered.

He'd be a good homosexual Bond. Instead of Bond girls theres be Bond boys, and Idris would clean up.

 

[zapataxiv]

Elba as Bond is a fantastic idea and would honestly be one of the only ways i would watch another movie from that franchise.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Blade and James Bond can’t be played by the same actor

 

[Deleted member 53199]

This modernism is really getting out of hand.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Barbara Broccoli trying to do the same to Bond as Kennedy's done to Star Wars.

Seriously, ladies, just go make the sandwiches. Leave the important franchises to men who understand them
