I think Idris Elba is a great choice, but if this is an agenda driven decision, the producers can go pound sand.

Exactly. That right there is the problem. The most important word in the English language is the word “why”. “Why they are doing this”, rather than what they are doing is the problem. I’d be thinking about it during the whole movie, making it pointless to watch.

“...but if this is an agenda driven decision, the producers can go pound sand.”

Bond producer Barbara Broccoli said ‘it is time’ for a non-white leading man to play the character. It seems this is only about race. There are no other conditions stated, only that “it is time” for a “non white”. They can all pound sand.

Perhaps they can’t find another white Brit with a full set of balls. Daniel Craig is famous about his hatred of guns, and apparently that’s leaked into the franchise.

The irony, of course, of the series is that sometimes the only thing that works is a gun.

Oh well, it’s their money.
