Idris Elba as James Bond?

That would be the '00'

in theory, they could have like a '005' or whatever, and have him be black

I think there's a good chance you'll see that in the future

remember..the movies only go by codenames or titles, and don't really have James Bond written anywhere

but hey we got Alex Cross and I guess that's supposed to satisfy us, even if the movie did get panned (i know..not exactly a spy movie...but hey it's starring a black man:smt016)

i haven't seen it

even if the critics aren't raving about it, i'd still give it a go

me and critics have such divergent tastes:smt003

from an african-american standpoint tho, i'm just happy to see a brotha get a role

Good point. 001 would be cool and Alex Cross was horribly casted. Now thats a role that should have been offrred to Idris

idris woulda KILLED that shit

:smt042

i could see him in a supporting role in a bond film too

maybe replacing 'M'

Judy Dench is iconic in the role...but come on...are there ANY blacks in the bond films anymore

:p
 
Why bother. It's a tired franchise. He should create his own spy or super hero genre. Look at Will Smith's "Hancock". Made over $600 million. Tired of James Bond.

FYI. The original concept for "Hancock" was not even a black guy & was a far more fucked up person than the one that got put on screen. It damn sure won't have been Will Smith cast for that part if they went with the original concept and if for some reason they did cast him with that original concept, he wouldn't have been looked at in the light of "hero" as in the filmed version.
 
lol @ comments in this thread

I'd love to him in that too, but oh well....

I thought the same thing for Alex Cross and here we have Madea playing him...smh
 
If he did play james bond we'd have the same group of people who whined about wild wild west complaining about the jews promoting blacks and all that other conspiracy crap.
