Sorry, Tom, but you’re far from the first to suggest Idris.

Hanks is a little late to the show. Idris Elba has been floated as a replacement for Daniel Craig for quite a while now. I believe the man has said he’s not interested. I like Elba, wouldn’t mind seeing him as Bond. It might get me to go back to watching the series, but I could give two-shits what Hanks feels on the issue.

Hollywood ruined Ian Fleming’s conception of James Bond after the first two or three Connery films.
It has rapidly descended into a complete fiasco.

They don’t want a Bond for one movie, so Elba isn’t a consideration.
They want a guy that can be around for at least 10 years.

So Tom Hanks has his opinion. WGAF?

It’s pretty insulting to believe blacks people cant have their own original characters.
They’re relegated by Hollywood whites to copies.

Elba already said no. He said he is Luther full stop. Hanks is just virtue signaling his bonfides as an asskissing azzhole.
Henry Cavill would be great but film makers don’t like him because he likes to be true to the source material and that means they can’t make Bond a fag.

I just rewatched the Craig Casino Royale this evening. I think it's the best of the Craig flicks FWIW. The Connery flicks peaked with Thunderball. In fact, it's been downhill ever since IMO. Never liked Roger Moore and his movies became almost comical. As for Elba, he may well could be great, but I think he's too old.

It depends on which iteration of Bond you want to go with.
If you go with Fleming’s Bond, he has to be a white Englisman/Scotsman. He was written to be about a particular man in a particular era. Elba can’t be that Bond.
However, some have interpreted Bond to be a designation, where some who is hired as 006 has their identity hidden by the government. This Bond is replaceable. This Bond, Elba could play.

No American is going to have a great amount of influence.
The author wrote his physical description for that role.
Anything straying from that would be yet another case of
what they call ‘Blackwashing’, where you take a well known ficticious character who has always been white, then suddenly flip the script, making him black so as to score PC points; as with The Little Mermaid.
Besides, two on the short list include Tom Hardy and Henry Cavill. Someone widely different just wouldn’t be Cricket.

Tom wants to be the Pussy Galore.

I don’t think I could care about anything less than who Tom Hanks wants to play the next James Bond.
