I get that...but is his race integral to the character itself?

Why would you cast any one other than a white male in the role of a white male character?
It was also set in the 60s - assuming they are not going to make it a period piece

He doesn't need to be white, he is white. James Bond is a character created by Ian Fleming, he is white.
Where does Fleming say he’s white?

Honestly. If they want to go younger. Then maybe Tom Holland. He's 29. I say maybe because I don't know if he can pull off the suaveness of Bond. I've only ever seen him play spiderman, that role didn't exactly have a lot of depth.

I think in the age of makeup, botox, and special effects, a 50 year old can play a 30 year old easily. And you can keep an old guy looking young for a while. Like Tom Cruise.
I didn't realize Tom Wamsgants was 51. I would have guessed 42ish. He would be a great Bond.
Tom Holland could be good too, but honestly he almost looks too young. I need to see experience on Bond's face. A boyish Bond would be weird to me.

I do love how we are all putting the black lady 007 in the memory hole for better pearl clutching effect 
I wont lie, in the moment I responded "oh frick off" but they honestly jedi'd it in there pretty damn well. And they made M a dude for counter balance. I respected it.

In the books, 00 agents must retire manditorily at age 45.

Strange use of the name Aethelstan in the context being implied. What book is that?

On HIs Majesty's Secret Service, 2023.
It is used for a villain who claims to be descended from Alfred the Great. This would also match his name to the historical illegitimate Grandson of Alfred who became one of the most important English kings, overseeing early translations of the Bible into English, was the first to make the Welsh and Scots pay homage to the throne of England--- this was the first step to the formal conquests of Edward the 1st 3 centuries later.

I understand his reasons for not wanting to do the role, but Idris Elba would be a great James Bond IMO.
Ian Fleming had James Bond as a descendent of a well established Scottish family. His mother was Swiss. Idris Elba doesn’t exactly fit that lineage. With that said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Elba play a character similar to Bond. I think he would be great in a special agent type role.

Was it written 60 years after Ian Fleming's death?
