Just saw the trailer for the new Bond film Spectre and sad to say that Daniel Craig is looking a little "past it" !

Who should be the next Bond ?

My choice is Idris Elba just for the record, I'm aware that he's a similar age to DC but just looks better

Idris Elba would be a good Bond but a better Bond villain.

I think DC looks great in new trailer.

Lets face it - Roger Moore looked past it in all of his!!

I don't think Idris ELba could be Bond, he's not good enough an actor.

TV acting and film acting are different.

Elba in his film roles, he's quite poor.

TV, he's good.

On a tv show a poor actor might be told to sharpen up a bit because of the series contract. On a film they probably wouldn't tell an actor to be 'better' in case that particular person was fired as a result.

Tom hardy would get my vote though personally think DC is the best bond and would like him to continue.

A black guy cannot play bond! Nor could a woman as was suggested on the other bond post.

They'll be making ghostbusters with women next

Oh wait.....

The post(er) suggesting a woman on the other thread was somewhat taking the mickey. I think.

For all those who suggest this Idris chap should play Bond because he's black, and well it's about time, would you be happy if a white guy was cast as say Martin Luther King? Or indeed appropriate.

Because Bond is not sultry enough to be black. He's a but of a dick if you ask me. I don't like James Bond,none of them.

Martin Luther King wasn't a fictional character last time I looked. Bond is. Shouldn't matter what colour of skin the actor portraying him is.

It's just not the done thing. Fleming wrote him as an upper class white guy.

Mlk is a silly comparison but as was said earlier shaft could never be played by a white guy.

Nick Fury of the Avengers etc - white in comics black in films.

I feel like the UK gets its panties in a twist when you fuck with what they consider to be 'institutions'.

I can't wait until a significant member of the royal family marries a black person, and subsequently we end up with a mixed race king/queen.

Tom hardy is too predictable, too boring. And Idris Elba is hit and miss, good in that sort of role though. Jack O'Connell or Harry Lloyd would be great if they wanted younger. If they wanted to go with a debonair romancer rather than the "seasoned veteran" thing they're doing now then someone like Andrew Lincoln or Stephen Moyer would be fantastic, or Iain Glen actually, older but distinguished.

Daniel Craig was pushing the boundaries as Bond because he was blonde. They've had a female M so if they want to push the boundaries I don't see why Idris couldn't play Bond. He will certainly be better than Timothy Dalton.

Elba has no chance of being a new bond as he is to old the "new bond" has always been mid to early 30s to give him a chance to be in the role long enough. DC is contracted for the role through bond 25 spectre us the 24th. My vote for the next bond would be Michael Fasbender.

Why the fuck would we need to shift from the proven formula.

Bond is white in the books.

Would the Americans portray Alex Cross as white?Think not.

The only considerations when casting an actor for a role in as far as how they look should be what is important to portray that character. Did shaft need to be black? Yup, does bond need to be white? Not sure why. Of course any real life character needs to look right but even colour aside. Peter Dinklage portrays Bolivar Trask who wasn't a dwarf and that worked well.

Why should we get used to it? Bond is a fictional character.

Not many polar bears in American mountains. Black was specifically mentioned for this fictional animal. Didn't realise James Bond was called White James Bond.

Perhaps they could use a line to introduce the new Bond.

"Good evening Mr Bond, I've been expecting you. Not to be black though".

Blackfinger, he's the man, the man with the BBC.

I don't think I could see Bond as a black guy, no more than I could see Hugh Grant playing Shaft or a female Dr Who or teensy Tom Cruise playing 6' 4" Reacher...mind you, there's been a female Richard III on stage a coupla times I believe so who knows

This comment has not been given enough credit, Fassbender would be excellent as Bond and has been my first choice since X-Men: First Class.

There is a fan made faux bond trailer with fassbender in the titular role that really shows the bond he could be.
