bird 9,936 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 was reading the other day, that Daniel Craig said a person who could take over his role easy is the black actor Idirs Elba / I do like him as a actor, but not so sure a black bond, my favourite bonds were Sean Connery , Daniel Craig, Rodger Moore lol what do you think .??

jacknife 2,005 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Bond should be White British Take that away you might as well get Will Smith to pLay him Are we not allowed any traditions anymore 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 If you take the hypothesis that James Bond is actually an agent's code name, and not his real name, then it doesn't matter who plays him. I think Idris Elba would make a good Bond. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually in the novels his fathers name is Andrew bond and is Scottish and his mother is Swiss so yes it does mater 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 So we can suspend belief that he went into space, in Moonraker, but he can't be played by a black actor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goes into space, doesn't age has unbelievable gadgets and gizmos but not being white is just too much of a stretch of the imagination Honestly those that are against it, would the race of Bond changing really effect your enjoyment of the films? If it would I'd say you've got some issues to work on... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 So we can suspend belief that he went into space, in Moonraker, but he can't be played by a black actor?An aristocratic black scotsman? Didn't they already do that on the 51st state? I dunno, Bond is pretty much defined as a posh white bloke, its a trait as central to the character as his ppk and Martini vodka.

neems 2,406 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Bond's not black,if there isn't a single capable white actor left in the world then consider using Ebola. Hercules,Conan now Bond. fukcing digrace Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got nothing against black actors or seeing black guys in leading roles but changing the whole background of such an iconic character who has been around for so long, and depicted in a certain way? I just think it would be more of an exercise in something thats being done just because they want to push boundaries. How long after a black person plays the role before certain voices are pushing for a female Bond? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Idris Elba would be an exercise in pushing boundaries, although it would be a secondary result, I just think he'd nail the part! Female Bond? Jane Couch! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well your opinion on the matter isn't worth anything then A female Bond wouldn't work at all, changing the colour of his skin is one thing but you'd have to change everything about the character if you changed his sex. Can certainly see some folk pushing for it though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
