Yes. James Bond is not black.


There is absolutely no reason at all Bond can't be black.

Whether or not Elba is the best choice for the part is another discussion entirely.

Yes there is. He's not black in the source material.

Elba is a fantastic actor and has been great in just about everything I've seen him in. He's got the chops to be a serious leading man. But not as James Bond. Making James Bond black is stupid and pandering.

There is absolutely no reason to shoehorn a black guy into the role either.

On one hand, I like Idris Elba a lot and I think he would make a good character.

On the other hand I just want to shove it the SJW's face for being hypocritical because these are the same people that rage when Hollywood casts a white character in a minority role.

Other than the fact that he's white, I agree with you.

Actually one reason I can think of is because James Bond is Scottish
