What do you think? Take a guess.

I wouldn't mind Elba
If they were going to do it, Elba was the perfect candidate. I wouldn't mind if they went that route. Bond doesn't have to be white. Going full freak show would be problematic.

My only problem with Elba, is he's too old for any sort of long run. Then again, Connery was playing Bond well past his prime.

I am.
I’m sick and tired of bullshite distractions like this that soak up so much bandwidth that could be used for debating serious issues.
By any objective measure, DEI crap is being rolled back, and diminishing returns becomes a thing.
So, while the left hand is over here fluttering in a meaningless breeze, the right hand has our debt at 40 trillion (125% of GDP) and gaining steam with zero attention from Congress.

The franchise itself has run waaaay past the original Ian Fleming books since Pierce Brosnan / Timothy Dalton...even Roger Moore and A View to Kill.
Give it up, man. Just too many on here who want to find something to bitch about in anything racial or cultural.
I used to absolutely rail on people that insisted the right was infested with angry old white men, mostly because I could get that way. My anger, though, was (and is) about the absolute shite show our government is at every level.
With a lot of dudes here, it’s exactly the stereotype I have argued for years never existed.
And all they do is give the left all the ammo they need to not deal with our real issues.

I thought I read some dude I've never heard of, named Tom Austin, was going to be the new 007?

This is the same type of person who used to say, “psh, you think the media is slanted towards the left? You’re crazy man.”

Idris Elba turned it down because he doesn't want to be used any group here (either for protest or for their aims).
And he is too old.

Why does he need to be white though?
Because he's white.

The only people melting are the ones who want every character to be a statement about representation.
They're melting because every time they do this, it fails.

Yeah , there's an African/ Greek debate raging as well....splitting hairs over what is "African" and whether or not that necessarily means black.

He doesn't need to be white, he is white. James Bond is a character created by Ian Fleming, he is white.
I get that...but is his race integral to the character itself?

I wanted Elba
Elba is a great actor and is everything Bond should be. . .aside from the skin color
And skin color is the least interesting thing about a character. . .especially if it doesn't change the story

Elba does come closest to that Connery vibe/charm.
From what I hear they really want Cavil or Theo James. Right age.
