Looks like Rush sealed the deal for Idris. He's the next Bond James Bond.

"I just don't want to be called the first black James Bond. Do you understand what I'm saying?" he shared. "Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond."

If you become the next James Bond it will be completely and utterly because you are black.

Bet you that a Black James Bond will not be as successful/popular as a Black Annie (Anniequa).

Please check the box office for Anniqua...

I wonder if they lowered the swim test so Idris Elba could pass it.

I can’t go along with changing Bond. Ian Flemming would be against it. Your changing the fundamentals of the character and trying to put a Social Commentary on a iconic movie character.

I am 63 and my brother and I saw Sean Connery when Dr. No first came out in 1963 and I have been a faithful fan long these many years through all the various changes of the leads.

While I liked Roger Moore, I didn’t always like how cartoonish the series became under him. I have to say Daniel Craig met all expectations and more playing Bond and was more to the outlines of Flemming’s character in the books.

Now if producers and writers want to create a new spy character and use Elba then I think that is fine. Just leave well enough alone.

If they make the change I probably will not be that interested in seeing the film. I will be interested in seeing the Box Office and if the that kind of change will work.

Just don’t make that kind of change if it’s based on Liberal PC crap.
