Idris Elba is an Awesome James Bond in This Great SPECTRE Mashup Trailer
For years, there's been a vocal fan movement to get Idris Elba cast as the next James Bond. Many thinkpieces were written not long ago when the writer of the 007 novels called Elba "too street" to play the character, but frankly it doesn't seem like Elba himself is even really that interested in the role these days. When Sony and MGM eventually announce Daniel Craig's successor as Bond, I bet there'll be no one happier than Elba because that means he won't have to deal with constant questions about it anymore.
But what if Sony and MGM had actually cast Elba in the role before the upcoming movie was announced? What might an Elba-led Spectre look like? Vulture decided to find out by creating this cool mashup trailer that combines footage from Spectre with Elba's work in the BBC's Luther, Takers, The Gunman, and more, finally giving fans a taste of what they've been wanting for years. And I have to say...it's pretty freakin' great.
