The rumours go back 15 years, when Daniel Craig called for a Black actor to take the role of British spy 007
Rumours about Elba being cast as Bond go back 15 years, when Daniel Craig first called for a Black actor to take the role of the suave British spy. Elba, however, has long maintained that he wouldn’t want to just be known as “the Black James Bond.”Still, rumours have persisted and the star has been considered a top replacement — albeit an unlikely one, given that he’s only five years younger than Craig.
It became more than just a rumour after the notorious hacking of Sony Pictures . In an email from Amy Pascal, then the Sony co-chair, to Elizabeth Cantillon of Columbia Pictures, Pascal wrote: “Idris should be the next Bond,” Soon after, a YouGov poll found him the top choice to play the next Bond among American viewers.
It was framed as if Sir Roger had made the comments about Elba, which Moore denied on Twitter. “An interview I gave to Paris Match implies I said something racist about Idris Elba. That is simply untrue. #Lost in translation.” Moore replied to another Twitter user: “When a journalist asks if ‘Bond should be English’ and you agree, then quotes you saying it about Idris Elba its out of context.
