Its fine that they do this if it were in isolation here and there
but in these times when
this f'in world hates all things white
this is really appalling
it seems a crime to be white
James Bond cant even be white anymore..

I don't even know where to start with this comment...

Look at the top 25 films from last year then tell me how much sense your comment makes.

Who said he can't be white? He's been white for almost 60 years. What's wrong with mixing it up a little bit? I think Idris is a perfect fit for the role. I actually found the Daniel Craig era nearly unwatchable and completely lacking the charm of the character. Put Idris in the role and see how it goes. We've had short-lived tenures in the past so if it does work they can certainly move on to another actor.

I think they should cast Betty White as James Bond. Makes as much sense as anything else going on in the world today.

I see a lot of sexism in this thread. Why does James Bond have to be a male? Personally, I vote for Jasmina Bond played by Cardi B.

Why couldn't James Bond be black? There are lots of black folks in the UK, I would reckon there are even some working for MI-6 today.

Purists had a hissy fit when Craig was cast because he was blonde. They got over it, they'll get over this, too (if it happens).

Anyone here see Charlize Theron absolutely kill it in Atomic Blonde?

I walked out of the theater telling my friends “she could be the first female Bond”. Her fight sequences were easily as good as any that Daniel Craig has done in the role.

I'll agree with this. Also enjoyed Red Sparrow.

I'd love to see Idris as a Bond. I think he's a fantastic actor.

Lets not forget, Dwayne the Rock Johnson is in his mid 40s and the highest paid action star, make that movie star on earth!
I'm afraid this has ZERO to do with his age. SMFH. He's a very capable British actor and deserves the role as much as ANY British actor available.

I have a serious feeling this is all about dollars and cents.

Black Panther was a resounding success, and it is well documented that part of that was due to its appeal to the black community. The producers of 007 have a hunch they will be able to capture an entirely new demographic of followers if they cast him.

It makes sense from a business perspective. The Bond loyalists, which there are many, will watch every movie no matter who is cast in it. At the same time, they'd attract a new community of fans as well.

Nice funny guy, and in The Meg: man I have to go to the gym, his torso is perfect....

Though Fassbender would be ok too.
