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.
Best thing would be to retire 007 and expand the Bond universe with his children/grandchildren.
Gives you more flexibility with the characters and makes more sense than having a WW2 vet still in the spy business.

Was it written 60 years after Ian Fleming's death?
Why yes, just like dozens of others were written by authors other than Flemming. We have a number of Bond movies that have no basis in Flemming's Bond, and others that use and trade excerpts from books for specific scenes, under movies of a different name or adapted.
Flemming Bond story 'purity' is a bad faith concept-- it has been an adulterated franchise since 1968
