Why not? It worked for Kojak
You'll recall that was a huge success.

British actor Idris Elba could be the first black James Bond, according to more leaked e-mails from Sony Pictures.
“Idris should be the next Bond,” Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal wrote nearly a year ago in an e-mail to Elizabeth Cantillon, a former executive vice president at Columbia Pictures.
The leaked e-mail, reported by the Daily Beast, is from a trove of private e-mails, salary reports and bits of script and rough footage swiped and released by hackers believed to be from North Korea.
Current Bond actor Daniel Craig is signed on to one more “James Bond” installment, “Spectre,” due out on Nov. 5, 2015.

They need a Muslim bond
Shaken, not detonated
How about we do that right after we have M and M as Superfly and the homo from Will and Grace as Shaft.
while we’re at it, how about a white south african as the Black Panther and Adam Sandler in the remake of Beverly Hills Cop???
Isnt this whole “make every famous white hero into a black metrosexual parody” getting a little old?

Understand...I am not a racist, but, quite frankly...”No F-ing way.”
Sorta like a black, Jim West, secret service agent right after
the civil war. Like the W.W.West, it will make a
joke out of the series and most likely end it.
Get ready for Jimmie Bond rapper/assassin, in operation
L.A. Hoodfinger.
They also tried to do that with ‘Ironside’. Decent show, but it only lasted half a season.
i wonder if the Flemming family or trust or whatever has a say in the matter?

What a load..!
They did the same thing during the pre-release of the last Bond:
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.
They wouldn’t shut up about it.
It’s to BUILD CONTROVERSY so that people TALK ABOUT IT.
It’s free marketing, basically.
They had said Bond would do a bunch of gay stuff, and his boss, that old lady, would be revealed as a HUGE LESBIAN.
What we got was a metrosexual villain, a few metrosexual shots of Bond, and the villain kicking Bond in the groin.
Bond is NOT going to be black —this is all a big marketing trick.
“The names Bond, as in ‘out on’”.
Just looking at the jacked up Chevy hurts my ears.
“No Mr. Bond I expect you to twerk.”
welcome to phase 2 of moviemakers doing black exploitation/pandering. of course they’re smarter now and say this is artistic and not at all like the black exploitation films of the 60s and 70s, many produced by blacks themselves.
can’t wait to see how Blindiana Jones and Blambo are received.
The Broccoli family control the Bond franchise. Can’t see them jeopardizing their cash cow with this kind of stunt casting.
“i was james bond. now i’m mohammed. mohammed withabomb.”
Ian Fleming should have killed Bond off.
LOL
thx... killing the goose that lays golden eggs for a PC stunt is stooopidity of the first magnitude
They just need to be really cool - with nice gadgets.
