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

[Originalman]

he' 45

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

Breh I am laughing at these kats talling about he is too old. They don't even know the history of bond or the actors that played him...bahaha.

They don't even know connery came back as bond at 52/53 years old.....

 

[Originalman]

breh these nikka's just talking ignorant the 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

Question why the hell did the bond movies go away from gadgets? That was one of the things that kept the franchise alove for decades especially with kids wanting to watch it.

 

[TripleAgent]

Did you see The Dark Tower?

I can't even blame him. He was cool. Also, all my book nerd heads that love the books say they cut and compromised too much for the movie to have a chance to be good.

 

[Take It In Blood]

He isn't handsome enough ...

They need to grab Henry Cavill and get it over with. Idris is too old for this role
unless he goes full hollywood and starts using botox then give breh a villian role

and branch it off into another movie series of it's own

He looks exactly the same as he looked in 2003 on The Wire

Now because of the black panther success everybody want some of that dollar. They know that the black dollar would go far if they casted a black bond. Even if the white people melt down a lot of them would still see it just to see how idris would pull it off. That would definately rejuvenate the bond brand.

when the producers rebooted bond with Daniel Craig they wanted to wave ride/ swagger jack Jason Bourne,Matt Damon so that equal's grounded in reality less high tech gadgets and more practical stunts with a more physical white knuckle fighting style

I’m going through the series in order right now.

After Connery left, the Bond series had a bad habit of jumping on what’s hot . They continue to this day

Ex: Live and Let Die was blaxploitation and The Man with the Golden Gun was one of those Kung Fu flicks.

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

Dude basically embodies the essence of Bond

He's too old now, they usually sign you to like five movie deals. Let that Black Panther bruh do it.

Chadwick Bozeman ain’t that much younger than Idris

 

[#1 pick]

I hate to say it... but Idris has been in some shyt movies as of late.

He may take this role for for that reason alone

He can act his ass off but he just takes any role. For someone of his caliber, he should be more selective

 

[Apollo Creed]

I'm guessing you didn't fukk with Beasts of No Nation or Second Coming?

Never saw Second Coming but Beast of No nation did a poor job showing the layers behind these type of events. Comes of as Poverty Porn.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

I'm sorry but this shyt is wack.

Just as wack as having a female oceans movie.

Push to make a black led franchise.We can have a black James Bond,John Wick,Jason Bourne. If white folks want to keep Bond white,so?

James Bond is a British character. No one but Brits are allow to do it

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

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.

This. I don’t mind and think it’s tradition for an anglo to play an anglo character. Honestly, idk how I’ll feel because I’m a James Bond stan.

Plus, I want watch a C. Nolan James Bond and if they’re pushing for diversity then he won’t be directing because he’ll want his guy.
