Rumored James Bond contender and recent Black Mirror star Paapa Essiedu shares his thoughts on the possibility of a racially diverse 007.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Black Mirror star and rumored James Bond contender Paapa Essiedu has shared his thoughts about a diverse 007. With Daniel Craig finishing up in the role following 2021’s No Time To Die, speculation has been rampant about which actor will be picked to replace him.
While speaking with The Times about his potential involvement with the James Bond franchise, Essiedu was asked whether he felt his possible casting would mark a positive step forward for diversity in the long-running spy franchise. Giving a thoughtful response, the Black Mirror star questioned whether there was far more to the issue of encouraging diversity than simply casting himself or another actor of color in the role.
Do you want to base it on whether James Bond is going to be black . . . or south Asian or east Asian? Does that mean that diversity is going the right way if the profits end in the pockets of the same people? It’s too multilayered a test study, so it’s not a question I can answer or really want to answer.
Will The James Bond Franchise Have A More Diverse Future? Owing its origins to a vastly different era, the James Bond franchise is one that has regularly struggled to reinvent itself to keep pace with changing sensibilities and modern belief systems. While a great deal of emphasis has been given to 007’s decidedly sexist roots, over the years the James Bond films have also had their fair share of troubling depictions of race and diversity.
While it would be heartening to think the presence of Black actors such as Essiedu, Page and Idris Elba in the latest James Bond casting discussions marks a significant step forward for the franchise, sadly public discussion has not been entirely positive or constructive.
