He should be James Bond

I agree either himself or Idris Elba would be great Bonds but he can also be a chilling villain as well just as he was in Serenity for example.

I agree. Why not? How much longer is Daniel Craig gonna do it?

I think it a black James Bond will happen sooner rather than later. It's just stupid at this point. I wouldn't mind if the character needed to be white but it doesn't matter - all the actor needs is to look decent in a suit, be good at action and be able to flirt with the ladies.

He doesn't even need to be good-looking. See Daniel Craig

Heisenberg apologists are stupid

I'll go a step further and say that Bond NEEDS to be black to counter the racist imperialism inherent in the entire franchise up to now.

After that, a new series should be developed that wittily subverts and dismantles the whole patriarchal fantasy that inspired "Bond World" in the first place. But alas, we may not see that for many more decades to come, if ever.

Here's a good interview with Ejiofor about his current success, and of course, he's directing a film of his own, like a smal number of very talented actors/actresses usually get around to doing:

And,hell,yeah, he ought to be the next Bond---that pretty much goes without saying!

Are you trying to be funny? James bond will never be black, in that case you might as well cast a white guy as Mr.T in the next A-team movie.

Says who? There's already talk about Idris Elba being the next Bond---I'd love that. Get off your "white man" fetish about Bond,please---this is the 21st century.

@EjioforBond

Sweet! I'd love to see that---it would definitely flip all those leftover vestiges of colonialism in the series on its head,for real.
