I wanna see Idris Elba as Bond. He's cool as fuck and looks great in a tuxedo or suit.
But a woman Bond would be fun, too, if they were just like the OG Bonds. Make Chris Hemsworth Moneypenny.
I think he's quite arguably too old now, but holy fuck he would have been perfect
Idris Elba looks like God or the Devil in a suit, and for the life of me, I cannot tell you which one is cooler.
Half God, half Devil. All cool.
Do a TV show where he plays both, and the heroes gradually realise that he's the same guy in different clothes, so they kill him.
If that isn't already the plot of a JRPG, let's make it one.
He would have made a great Bond at one point, but yeah, definitely too old.
Yesssss, they had been planning this at one point but changed their minds!
I want my Idris Elba Bond, goddamnit!
I really liked Daniel Craig's bond but I wish they would have cast Henry Cavill instead. A younger Idris Elba is a bit of a no-brainer but too bad the bond franchise isn't handled well (at least in my opinion).
Cavill was the choice until Barbera Broccoli met Craig at a party.
Nothing against Daniel Craig as Bond, I think he fit the part. I think some of the movies weren't great for plot instead. I would've loved Elba to have been the next one when Craig first said he was done. Maybe Michael B Jordan now or Jamie Foxx back then as well. Bond in his 30s makes more sense in my head unless age is a specific plot point like Bruce Wayne in Batman beyond, but that starts complicating the 007 transfer a little on the nose for the franchise.
Daniel Craig was good for a certain era of Bond.
He came in after Austin Powers thoroughly skewered them. After that they had to go back to a more realistic Bond.
I think Idris Elba would have had the unique ability to fit into either the more modern, more realistic Bond character, or into the classical Girls and Gadgets Bond era. In Luther he was basically almost playing a realistic version of Bond.
