James Bond is a specific person and how he looks is well established in the books (and he doesn't look like Daniel Craig either) so on that basis Elba wouldn't be a great James Bond because he looks naff all like James Bond.

the top and bottom of it is if idris gets the part they'd have to rewrite the whole character back story the lot imo. it wouldn't be believable as it is. it might as well be a whole new character.

Dr. No came out in 1962, and the books were written long before then.

How old must Bond be, if it's meant to be the same character?

I haven't read this thread in its entirety but I cant wait for the new episode of Rab C Nesbitt

I had no interest in Bond until Craig - dull carry on style British shoite. Craig turned it into something decent.

I would be happy with Elba but it will be a hard act to follow

Nobody is calling anybody racist. My first question was genuine if you fancy having a stab at answering it (the second one was a little joke).

I don’t think Elba would make a good Bond either, but I wouldn’t rule him out solely on the basis of his skin colour, and I’m still not sure why you would.

Now I know this isn't going to sit well with some of you, but because his name is James Bond, he probably is going to be a british male. And if he isnt, he should be. Not a woman, or a Chinese fella, or any other weird and wonderful thing you care to mention in the name of equality.

There. Said it.
So when we sign Ollie Watkins you’ll be stunned when a black guy turns up. You’d have him playing outside half for Llanelli.

How do you know none of “us lot” is black?

Black people are pretty much like white people once you get past the melanin, you know. They certainly don’t have secret powers that enable them to understand complete nonsense.

Idris Elba is a British male. Don’t be fooled by his accent in The Wire - that was just acting.

Presumably because there's not a clear written description of the cartoon character. There is a clear written description of James Bond.

Bond was originally set between 1951 and 1964. If it's not going to try and be true to the original then just make another film and call it something else. Why not make a film about Henry V111 and have Cuba Gooding Jnr playing him. It's just not realistic.
