Well, if he can play Heimdal, the guardian of the bridge that leads to the home of the Norse gods, then I guess he can pretend to be James Bond.

[real saxophonist]

Name sounds kinda like ‘ebola’.

[Slyfox]

He will always be Charles Miner to me:

[military cop]

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?

[Slambat]

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.

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’”.

[Nowhere Man]

The new "Hoopty Bondmobile!"

[central_va]

“No Mr. Bond I expect you to twerk.”

[onedoug]

Ian Fleming should have killed Bond off.

[Mariner]

Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever.

[Bobalu]

[Cyman]

Way to go Mumbles

[SharpRightTurn]

Fine, so long as the next Martin Luther King, Jr. movie or made for TV documentary features a white actor for King.

[Caipirabob]

It worked so well for “Annie”... And it’s not like they can come up with a decent, original character played by a black man. We all know what Sony thinks about that.

[jimmyo57]

Maybe he could be called Black Bail Bond!

[left that other site]

Well, the Black Annie worked out SO well..../s

[WashingtonSource]

Goodbye, box office. This will go over as well as a black Little Orphan Annie.

Very good actor—it might work if the screenplay was solid. Let’s face it, the ladies might dig it depending on what he’s (ahem) packing. It’s just too bad Daniel Craig seems to hate doing it, because I think he’s a great Bond. I like the lessening of camp and the increased menace he brought to the series. (One thing I never liked about the earlier Bonds was the almost cartoon-ish attempts to add humor. It never worked for me.) In any case, I’d watch the first Elba effort, just out of curiosity.
