Also change Bond’s orientation, have him cross-dress, and instead of a Bond Girl they could cast a Bond Boy. He could drink Appletinis stirred, not shaken. Instead of violence let him talk the issues out.

I liked Idris Elba in the BBC America mini-series Luther.

If Dorothy from the Wiz and Annie can be black, why not James Bond?

Oh, bad examples...

Connery had his high tech briefcase and Aston Martin DB5, provided by Q Branch. Black & gay 007 could have a high tech purse and a Nissan Leaf.

Hollywood should do a remake of Shaft with a white actor. Maybe a MLK biography played by a Korean actor.

So would this mean Bond would have a Colt 45 shaken not stirred?

James Bond will be a post op transgendered Thai ladyboy within two more movies. Bond is a white manly man Brittish spy. Always has been always will be. They will destroy the franchise

“He was great in The Wire. I can see him as Bond James Bond”

After The Reverend Al weighs in with Sony, and just to keep the grievance theme going, he will be re-cast as “Bondage, J’aimes Bondage”

Well, if he can play Heimdal, the guardian of the bridge that leads to the home of the Norse gods, then I guess he can pretend to be James Bond.

And he’s queer, too.

And hiding it well, what with having a kid with his wife at the time and this year having one with his girlfriend.

Once you go black you don’t go back. That means if they choose him there never will be another white James Bond.
