Idris would make a great Bond villain, or he could replace Ralph Fiennes as M in a recurring role.

And woke isn't even the world's taste. It's 20% of an already separate bunch of assholes that would welcome a trans Bond girl or something.

Ideas Elba is great and I would 100% support him as Bond.

He could 100% still play Bond.

“I’ve always felt that it’s not a realistic thing,” he told British GQ. “James Bond was written how he was written for a reason. But I was complimented by it. And also, I think, in realistic terms, some markets just don’t go for that. Bond is big all over the world. And [audiences] won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period.”

Idris is right about the black Bond thing. James Bond is a white dude, nothing wrong with that. I've never understood why they didn't have other 00 agents in the movies. Idris won't be 007, but he could have been 004 or 005 or 009, etc. Do some buddy cop stuff and a spin off or two. Profit.
