Don't feel like searching for it so it may have been discussed but I feel as if the next James Bond should be black. Read me out. James Bond was created during the Cold War and had more to do with Caucasians facing off in spywork with others mixed in (Cuba, South America, etc.) If they were truly going to modernize it, would it be best for them to make the next one black? The main issues in the world involve the Middle East, China, and Africa (which leaves out Russia). Infiltration would be easier for the black agent speaking foreign languages as opposed to Daniel Craig who is 'obvious'

Just a thought I had, don't think it would happen. But thoughts?

You don't think a black writer and black actor can come up with their own super spy so they have to appropriate an English character long established?

I'm sure a black guy is going to blend right into the Middle East and China.

I honestly couldn't care less if they picked a black or white guy

As long as the guy can play the character

The Chinese are super racist, turning Bond black would make matters much worse.

Just use a good actor and write good stories. Doesnt matter black or white. Craig is a good actor and they generally wrote good stories (quantum of solace a notable exception). Brosnan was a bad actor and he received bad writing.
Note to writers: James Bond at its core is not an action genre. It is character- Bond and girl and villain .

Here's an idea. Shove your forced diversity ideas up your a*s and write your own novel with your black agent. Don't mess with other people's creations because they're not yours to begin with.

You're obviously biased considering you're black

I prefer thinking to feeling. My thought is that to base the next Bond movie around an artificial premise of his race is a pretty dumb way to go about it. But Bond movies are rather unserious to start with. And it would fit in with the newfangled way of thinking.

Why not make him Indian instead?

The British Empire has more of a history with India than practically any other non-Western country.

Or, is Indian the wrong shade of brown for you?

Because that's what this is about, right? Skin color.
