He definitely fits the mould.
Can’t quite get used to you having a dog avatar.
Didn’t Happy Chappy have something similar?

I am assuming when you have 190 million dollars, one is not too concerned on what a few think about them. 🙂

I heard he is actually in the running for the next James Bond!!! Surprise, surprise!

That just sounds stupid on the face of it.

After Craig, the best Bond in a while, they don't need to throw away the franchise on a loser who will do one film and bow out.

Of all the names floated around, I liked Idris Elba the best. He would be a superb Bond.

Is it wrong to suggest that because Bond was a white male in the novels, then the movie Bond should be a white male?

Not trolling; serious/genuine question

He was also not blond. If Daniel Craig can pull that off, we might be ready for a black Bond. I support the notion.

Edit: Not so for a female Bond. I do not think the world is quite ready for that, yet.

I agree on Elba, but not on the female Bond. It just won’t work given the novel and movie franchise history. Same with Dr Who.

It’s not a male vs female thing it’s about the legacy of the character. It just won’t work with Bond.

What would work is a female 00 counterpart or maybe a completely new female spy character with a new background, new profile and new attitude.

If it sounds stupid, odds are they just may do it! 🙂

They would have to call her Jane Bond. 🙂 ................ LOL...............

I never thought Danial Craig was that great a Bond to be honest with you.

Elba would be good but I hope they don't cast a Black Briton simply in order to avoid a backlash from the White progressive commentariat.
