Idris Elba discusses James Bond rumors

Movie James Bond by

There has been talk of Idris Elba being next in line to take on the iconic role of James Bond. Elba recently talked with NPR and addressed these rumors.

"It's a rumor. It's a very old rumor. My dad and I were talking about this the other day. I would do it, but I don't want to be called the first black James Bond. Do you understand what I 'm saying? Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond."

I personally think that Craig is the best Bond aside from Sean Connery. Elba is not completely against the idea of taking on the role, and says, "If Sony decided to call me and said hey, we wanted to do [James Bond], I'd definitely consider it."

Elba is so impressive on screen in all of his roles. I think it would be interesting to see him as Bond. What about you?
