Idris Too Street for 007?!; I'm Calling Bull-Feces Here

Isn't part of James Bond's appeal the fact that he can blend in anywhere? How would Idris, as a black Bond, blend in with the criminal element which is white? A spy or any person working undercover, has to blend in. Sorry, Idris.

For one, Idris has more than one accent. He has his natural British accent, an African accent, and an American accent. A good spy should be able to blend in. He has three continents with sizeable black populations he can operate in. He stands out due to his height & build, not so much his color, imo.

Be it fiction, or real life, good guys & bad guys come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and nationalities. This James Bond where being over the top stories are the norm. Bond being black would be one of the more subtle changes, I think.

I believe you saw the film Pacific Rim, where he was the leader in humanity's battle against the invading monsters. It was not about him being black. He was British in the film. He even had an adopted Asian daughter. None of that seemed preposterous in the story.

It was about his will to.....cancel the apocalypse.



I loved this scene, too. To be honest, I really did not like the film due to the boring protagonist. Idris carried this film.

still feel u looking at it the wrong way

richard roundtree will always be shaft
sean connery will always be james bond
idris will always be luther
tina turner will always be `proud Mary"

... certain acting parts and the actor how they fit will always leave a indelible memory of that character been played.. maybe mentally can never be replaced

.... but as of now clive is the nearest u might get to reproduce BOND{ i mean`t Sean Connery} not the succeeding counterfeits ..moore, bronson, lazenberg etc

My favorite Bond is Roger Moore hands down. :D

But a black Bond would be cool.

They should have given a Bond role to Sam Jackson at the time of Shaft. He would have been perfect for it at that time.

I see it like actors playing the Joker. Cesar Romero, Jack, and Heath all put their individual stamps on the character in the eras they played the villain.

However, Shaft was specifically a black man. I am not sure if the ethnicity of James Bond was ever emphasized. AFAIK, the main thing was that Bond be British man of action which Idris excels at.

Like Doctor Who, no actor playing Bond needed to look anything like his predecessor.

We may end up with a black Doctor Who (which Idris is also a candidate for), or even a female Doctor Who (the character's an alien with multiple & random incarnations), eventually.

Not Sam Jackson, CB. Sam Jackson is American, not British.

Sam Jackson is Nick Fury, imo. Actually, the comics re-imagined Nick Fury to look & act like Sam Jackson years before the actor took the part. Nick Fury was originally white, and first played in live action by David Hasselhoff.

I agree that a black Bond would be cool, indeed.
