Am I seriously the only person who remembers how controversial it was to make James Bond blonde when Craig was first announced? Why is such a radical departure favoured? Even Spielberg is behind it. And even with Cred Forums on the lookout, Elba keeps winning internet polls on who should be cast next. Why specifically Elba? Isn't someone like Tom Hardy or Michael Fassbender more logical from a purely normie, superficial fan?

Jews want black men to look sexy and cool to white women.

Initially I was completely averse to the idea, but after careful consideration, I realized that the franchise is completely fucking stale and anything to make it fresh would be a good thing.

I've been a Bond fanatic for around 23 years, and I say they give it a try.

>Am I seriously the only person

YES YOU OUT OF SIX BILLION HUMANS ON THIS PLANET ARE THE ONLY ONE

CUNTFACED RETARD, TAKE YOUR STUPID BAIT ELSEWHERE

Why don't they just reboot Shaft with Elbrows?

It would actually be good if done right

Elba would make a great Bond, simple as that.

Hard to imagine someone else who could capture Bonds masulinity and gravitas..

Yeah but why specifically Elba?

I don't even care if he gets cast. I don't care that he's black. He'd probably be fine. But what is pushing everyone to pull for this one dude in this one roll?

bond isnt black. do you think ian flemming would make bong black? people trying to retcon saying 007 and james bond are just codenames which isnt true. elba would make a good villian though. being a bond villian is GOAT.

He's my pick for the next Bond. Idris will be too old by the time Craig calls it quits

He's black and he's British.

I think this user is right. He embodies the qualities of a good Bond, and I don't really know how else to put it. And his acting is perfectly understated.

fuck internet polls and whatever the fuck

Bond should have been shelved after Die Another Day. He doesn't belong in the 21st century it's as simple as that. But god forbid they stop milking that cash cow

>Taking a figure of speech literally
Autismo, please.

Pic related is the ONLY CHOICE.

Why don't you cunts buy 10 copies of Bastille Day so we can get Idris playing an original operator character not bogged down with almost 50 years of expectations?

>"or Idris Elba"

He's currently the most high profile black british actor so it's a lazy way of showing how progressive you are

HAH!... no

The elite has decided it should be a black man and therefor it's going to be a black man

don't question things

Richard Madden would make a better Bond.

His Man From Uncle performance proves it.

He's a vapid pretty boy. Just because you want to be his sub doesn't mean he'd make a good Bond, faggot.

not the point of the post, fucktard.

>The elite has decided it should be a black man

Anything else on your imaginary fairy list, maybe who your real dad is?

J U S T

Elba has said he doesn't want the role after people mostly seem to want him because he's black

actors only, please

If you've seen Man from U.N.C.L.E. And you aren't convinced then you're an idiot.

He nails the Bond look and persona... I mean the real Bond... not the beta-cuck nu-male, the nigger or the Muh-Borne version

>casting directors picked daniel craig over cavill for casino royale
>henry will never be able to play bond because he's tied up with superman

He's the best and only choice for bond. Handsome, charismatic, tall, raven black hair, blue eyes. There's a lot of actors that fit that bill, but Cavill can draw a whole room's attention just by walking in. He has that classy gravitas that you wont find else where. It's insane that more people want tom hiddlestone to be bond than henry cavill.

>there are STILL people on this board who don't want James Norton to be the next Bond

you'll all be singing a different tune very, very soon. this nigga's got a lot of good projects coming up

I have seen The Man From UNCLE, and this faggot is the definition of a ""nu-male"" Bond. He's a one-dimensional actor and he's boring to watch.

To be fair, out of all possible racebends, Elba is probably the best suited to play a black bond. probably the ONLY one suited.

That still doesnt mean he should though.

And honestly I'm getting a bit tired of the fact that he's the go to actor for racebending.

Heimdall was one off the top of my head, and now Deschain is another. And Bond is always one that's mentioned.

Fuck, let the guy do original roles, stop pushing him into racebended white character roles. he's a good actor, but using him for political agendas is a waste of his talent

>original operator character
THIS
bond is already established.

I do remember and he turn out to be the most stale and boring Bond so far. His movies don't feel like Bond movies and they feel more like Bourne ripoffs, they literally have no personality of their own.

We don't need a fucking nigger, specially this ape, we need the old Bond back.

If you wear a wig, why keep the receding hairline?
Should've went all the way, Connery

his character was too forced. the russian was a good character though.

>tfw Craig Ferguson will never be James Bond

They could make a movie about a different 00 MI6 agent who is black if they wanted to. None of the "James Bond" movies have the name James Bond or the codename 007 in the titles.

My only beef with Elba is that he's too old now. 10 years ago he would've been perfect.

GO AND WATCH GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE

I am not kidding... just do it!

After you watch it, you will realize why so many think Idris would make a brilliant Bond.

I suppose anyone is better than this guy...

He's one of 2 black dudes that I'd trade my white skin for. And that's the thing: like all Bonds, men of ALL races need to wanna be him.

Idris has so much charisma with the way he speaks and interacts.

He would make a massive difference compared to the bloomy Craig that we have gotten recently.

You are right there. Idris is one of those very handsome Blacks.

Some Blacks dont have very good genes but Idris is something special

I think he looks more and would be a perfect cast for Archer. But it's the voice that will ruin it. Unless they dub H. Jon Benjamin's voice over Cavill's.

The Dark Tower will probably kill his career.
Also he's too street.

>Elba keeps winning internet polls on who should be cast next

>Internet polls
>mattering

>Why specifically Elba? Isn't someone like Tom Hardy or Michael Fassbender more logical from a purely normie, superficial fan?

Do you even have to ask this?

Because he's black, and because SJW's.

SJW's view historically white characters being rewritten as blacks and other non-white races as a "victory" in their insipid little culture-war.
See: Marvel Comics

Literally nobody but Tumblr ham-planets and granola-munching bull-preppers thinks it's a good idea.

>Black guy spying amongst Russians

whoops looks like nobody gives that much of a shit about james bond if they forgot that shit that originated it

Young, clean shaven Idris... mmmm bring dat BBC over here boy

>using internet polls
>for anything

Yeah, and Trump is going to become our 45th president, following our 44th, President Ron Paul, after defeating the Democratic nominee, Bernie Sanders.

>nails bond
Dude can't rock a suit. Looks shit on him.

Did you watch UNCLE? Film was shit but he proved he could play Bond type character

If you care for 1 millisecond about who the next James Bond is and you are over 15, it's time to kill yourself.

will he crash the franchise with no survivors?

Hardy is a shit actor with a shit accent and Fassbender isn't into those type of movies
Not to mention Elba is already a good actor

Sjw casting worked so well for Ghostbusters, sounds like a great idea OP

never been a good actor except as String
Luther was shit.

if you want to piss everybody Bond should be a woman or a trap.
>jane Bond
black woman for bonus points, don't come here crying when this shit flops like GB2016 did tho.

This guy will play JJ Watt in the inevitable biopic

Watch out user, don't be speaking the truth around here. The nu males of Cred Forums might hear you
