Idris Elba Doesn’t Want To Be ‘The Token Black’ Bond
An article from last October has re-circulated adding to the drama. Apparently, Idris Elba has expressed concerns about taking on the role. In an interview with New York Times, he stated, “I think it’s more about, “We just want to have a black guy play James Bond” rather than, “Idris Elba, the actor, play James Bond. That’s the part I’m like, ugh, come on.”

He also stated there could be a female bond. He said, “It could be a woman — could be a black woman, could be a white woman — do something different with it, you know?” He has stated he rather not be the “token black actor” to take over Bond, but still, he is being very much linked with the role.
