Stringer Bell.
I’m playing Shaft in the upcoming remake :)
Ian Flemming was MI-6, so James Bond has always been somewhat of a psyop. A black Bond makes sense in that regard. I’ll skip.
Don’t worry...

I like him very much but James Bond is WHITE.
Is Meryl Streep going to play Mammy in a GWTW remake?
This is nuts.

"I love snakes! Just love 'em!"
Only problem with Elba as Bond is he’s about 3 times as good an actor as any script they’ve made for Bond. It would be a complete waste of his talents, but he would get some fat cash.
A black James Bond makes as much sense as casting Woody Allen as Geronimo.
Craig is the best Bond ever.
British? muslim?
I know, they should start with a remake of Goldfinger and Katlin Jenner can play Pussy Galore.
So true.
The majority of the population of Great Britain of african descent. Of cours Bond is black. /s
It’s time to retire Bond, he’s in his 90s!
After all according to the novels he’s a WWII vet.
I’m about to throw up.
Funny, From Russia With Love is playing on my TV at the moment.
They will eventually make James Bond..Jamie Bond.
LOL
