James Bond Producers Are Reportedly Leaning Toward Idris Elba as the Next 007

[Apollo Creed]

Such as?

Damn near anythinf not called The Wire

 

[Hardest Since MC Ren]

Damn near anythinf not called The Wire

The wire is not a movie

You ever watched Luther?

 

[Take It In Blood]

Damn near anythinf not called The Wire

Pacific Rim was dope

 

[Apollo Creed]

Pacific Rim was dope

Was cheesy to me honestly

Tent poles should easily be billion dollar movies. That’s all I’m saying. If you’re spending $250 million on a film, a billion should be the goal.

Idris is too damn old. They should have had this conversation 10 years ago.

No one is interested in a white savior movie anymore. Those days are over.

only one bond film (skyfall) ever reached a bill

 

[MikelArteta]

He's too old. Give him his own series.

he' 45

roger moore was 46 when he first played bond
pierce was 42

I think they should make a film in the same universe as James Bond but make Idris his own original character to make a new black pop-culture icon.

I always assumed James Bond was just a code name that spies use similar to John Doe and that's why they were always able to swap actors. Maybe agents retire and someone else takes the role.

This shyt gonna break box office numbers if true. Elba already practices MMA.

Fine chocolate

I hope you’re a female

 

[Ziggiy]

You know good and damn well they're looking at BP's success and understanding that a black Bond could get to that level.

Money talks man.

You can't say no to a billi.

 

[MostReal]

Do it
I'd support

breh these nikka's just talking ignorant two of the best pure action franchise out are headline by two dude in their mid 50's John Wick/Keanu Reeves 54, Mission Impossible/Tom Cruise 56

we could easily get 4 movies out of Idris Elba if he start's in his late forty's maybe even 5 movies if they film 4&5 back to back

Idris is a big guy 6'3 with legit martial arts training that's going to help come a cross like a asskicker even in his 50's all he has to do is get on that Hollywood actor light steroid program to keep his physique up


plus you can go back to the roots of James bond films by having Idris Elba's Bond actually us gadgets/disguised weapons and high tech car's so the role isn't so dependent on physical prowess like daniel craig's Bond

that age shyt is a weak excuse

Just create a entirely new character and start a new franchise with him or another black actor.

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

The wire is not a movie

You ever watched Luther?

Did you see The Dark Tower?

 

[b_low_brown]

They been in the "considering" phase for about 5 years now.
