If Idris Elba is announced as the next James Bond...

Is it basically too early to be asking about the next Bond, whoever it is?

We're still having this conversation, huh?

Unfortunately, yes.

Actually, we're not, not really anyway. All that could have been said has been said ad infinitum. Rubixcub's comments already appear in various forms numerous times through this thread.

I merely awakened this dormant thread - clearly a mistake on my part - to share an interesting edit of the SPECTRE trailer with a 'what if' of Elba as the Bond in SPECTRE. If Elba ever could have been Bond, it would have been over the same period as Craig. He concedes this. No need to go over it any more.

I was hoping for some interesting comments to the fake trailer rather than yet another re-hash of all the well-rehearsed arguments. Oh well...

I enjoyed the fake trailer.  And, I like Idris Elba's acting.  He definitely has the aura of a Bond-esque character.  I would enjoy Idris as 008 (or 6, or 9).  The 00-section has room for all.  Too bad Tyler Perry got the role of the Alex Cross reboot.  Idris would have owned that role.

Well, a lot of people have very strong feelings on this topic.  I'm still dead set against Elba as Bond, but would love to see him as a 009 type character that could be spun off into his own series.

 

That would give EON another property - and a potentially very cool property, too.
