  1. Little too late for him to become a Bond, isn’t it? I’d rather Tom Hardy then. Same age group, but still younger.

    Could be interesting seeing an older Bond though.

  2. I like Idris but he’s only a couple of years younger than Craig. Why not choose a younger actor to attach the franchise to?

  7. They pick their Bonds based on the assumption of ~5 film arc that spans ~8 years. Bond has to not only be old enough to carry the gravitas and maturity for the part, but someone young enough to carry a franchise for that long. That points to someone very late 30’s to about 45 on the upper end.

  10. Bro Idris would make a killer Bond. He’s definitely got the charisma for it.

  12. Richard madden, Henry Golding, Dan Stevens, Jamie Dornan, Jack O’Donnell could all be great choices.

  13. Why do we *need* more Bond movies? Can’t they take a break for a while?

  14. At the rate they make these things now; Idris would be 56 by the time the first one comes out. 64 for the second film and 70 plus for the third.

  15. I like this choice but, they will likely believe he’s too old.

  17. As muah as would love to see Idris as Bond, he’s passed the age point where it would make sense. It just wasn’t in the cards. Sucks too, because he would’ve been absolutely awesome.

  18. I think now is really the time for an Airbud crossover where Airbud is James Bond and they play it completely serious.

  21. That mcfadden lad from game of thrones and the bbc bodyguard series should play the next bond.

  22. At this point, it’s just plain mild harassment towards Idris Elba to keep bringing the topic up.

  26. Fuck no. Hasn’t this shit run its course yet?

  27. Idris but play it the same way as Knuckles the Echidna

  29. Idris Elba is 52, of course it won’t be fucking Idris 🤣

  30. This was always a lazy, utterly uninspired choice. And also dead wrong because, black, white, purple or polka dot…Bond has to speak with a posh accent. And Elba cannot do that to save his life.
