Names have already been thrown around regarding who might be replacing Daniel Craig as James Bond when his tenure eventually comes to an end though that appears to be some way off and one of those constantly brought up is Idris Elba, most famous for his fantastic performance as super-smart gangster Stringer Bell on The Wire. It has already been confirmed that Elba met with producer Barbara Brocolli to talk about taking on a Bond role, though perhaps not the one youre thinking of.

Why not Barack Hussein Obama as Bond? (You read it here first.)
Bonds role wasn't something that could be smooth...it was bloody and (to quote "M": "bloody cheeky")
It would be totally cool to have an introduction scene between Brosnan and a faceless new Bond, where he promotes him to a double zero and says, "You are Bond, James Bond."
I know we’re supposed to be a color blind society, but please, give me a fraking break.
That’s a fan theory...that “James Bond” is simply a nom de guerre” and 007 is the number that goes with it.
It explains the whole James Bond franchise perfectly.
No disrespect to black people, but a black Bond will NOT work. A black Moneypenny I can understand, but the role of 007 has already been cast in stone as white going back to the first book.
It makes as much sense as a white Shaft remake. Anyone watch Kojak on TV when Ving Rhames played Kojak?? Yeah, thats what I though.
Bond was never a PC person, so keep the PC out of the films.
Why stop here...let's have a Muzzy Bond.
England, the once great Empire has gone soft (though I know that there are many in the UK Special Forces who have not gone soft).
What's next guys? Rise up and kick some arse. Raise a pint of ale and an AS50 for the cause.
Nevermind, i didnt read the whole article! :-S
Either way, i stay w/ my arguement that a black Bond would not fit.
A Live and Let Die remake would be great, but needs to be much darker than the original.
That sensitive comedian, Roger Moore, played Jane Bond in the original movie. After seeing Sean Connery and then seeing his replacement, it was quite a letdown.
Instead of retreading this James Bond stuff, they should have a spy or superhero who will fight Islamic imans and terrorists. That would really take guts for Hollywood or any other studio.
Yes, and having Pierce Brosnan become M, explains where they go, they either retire, get promoted to a desk job, or die. They could even kill Craig’s Bond at the end of his last movie, so M can promote a new one.
They already made Moneypenny black.
That's right! Let's have bathhouse Barry play James Bond. Maybe we can have a scene in the movie where he sodomizes CIA agent, Felix Leiter.
Gawd... you freepers slay me more than anyone with a license to kill.
Craig is making two more Bond movies and “M” is definitely going to be Ralph Fiennes... He got the nod at the end of Skyfall...
Craig is a GAY Bond. In Sky Fall, the bad guy tries to seduce Bond and says “there’s a first time for everything”. Bond replies “who said it would be my first time?”
LALD is one of my favorite Bond movies, and I don’t care what the Moore haters will say :)
Still, I can see it being redone well by the current team, even though I’d rather see more original stories. I’ll give it a watch, though, with one caveat: either keep the original McCartney theme, or get Sir Paul to remake it himself, because they won’t be able to top it.
Exactly, he said it as a question, not a statement, and he said it pretty mockingly. It pretty well disarmed the villain’s tactic of trying to intimidate Bond through some homosexual molestation, so I’d say it was simply a cheeky remark on Bond’s part, not some gay confession.
Not to mention, Craig’s character is the most hetero Bond since Connery, so reading it the other way doesn’t make much sense in context.
Daniel Craig is an awesome Bond. I stopped watching Bond films 20 years ago and he brought me back. Loved Craig in Layercake- highly recommended gritty London gangster flick. While you are at it, check out Sexy Beast. Ben Kingsley played the baddest villain ever.
