Tom Hiddleston was “too smug and not tough enough” for the role.

Didn't slow up Barack Obama any.

....after producers decided that Tom Hiddleston was “too smug and not tough enough” for the role.

Those qualities didn't stop Pierce Brosnan. :)

“I like him very much but James Bond is WHITE”

Cultural appropriation.

James Bond is half-Scottish and half-Swiss, so I don’t know how they would pull that off.

That being said, I think Elba could pull off the role, but the problem is reconciling it with Ian Fleming’s bio of Bond.

It was actually Bond’s nephew. I think Bond himself showed up in a few episodes of the TV series.

I hope he’s not playing Bond as a heterosexual. That is soooo old.

It lasted a season or so around ‘91. It even had a line of action figures!

I like Idris Elba Have watched all the “Luther” series, and just watched him in “The Take.” I haven’t watched any James Bond movies in years. If he’s going to be the new James Bond, I might give it a try.

I really enjoyed the series:

Tom Hiddleston is very talented.
