quote:

Stepping out with fiancée Sabrina Dhowre as he promoted his directorial debut Yardie, Elba was asked if he’ll be the next actor to take on the iconic spy role.

“No,” he told Good Morning Britain’s reporter, bluntly.


For those that care

Good, he's too old.


I still think a reboot with Jaden Smith needs to happen.

Just make Felix Leiter a black dude. Give him a supporting role in a James Bond movie then give him his own movie. Boom problem solved

The Idris Elba-Bond thing seems to come in waves. This will be back as a story in 6 months.

They’ll probably make Bond a Muslim to fit with the current demographics of London.

If anyone it should be Henry Cavill. I wouldn't mind Fassbender but no way on Hiddleston.

Enh. He tested the waters... got a very mixed at best feedback and made the smart call.

Its not like Elba is having so much trouble finding work he's making ends meet by sucking off hobos behind the bus station for 5 bucks a pop.

Throw that dead cat in your neighbor's yard and keep on going. Its a smart decision on his part.
