Let me sound off on the Idris Elba and "Black James Bond" controversy, now that I've talked myself down from the ledge, put away my cyanide capsules, and unloaded my Walther PPK.
First off, some technicalities. I don't think Idris Elba will ever play James Bond. He's 45 right now and EON produces a new Bond film about every 3 years, with the next one coming out in 2019. Is he really going to debut at age 50? Then perhaps make 3 films before he hits 60?
Also, the report is a "he said, he said" account from a director who's not engaged by EON, and who might just be trying to create a story or meme himself as the next director or something.
Sadly, "it's time" sounds like a euphemism from an aging producer who's simply going with the flow. EON closely guards the James Bond brand (associated w/ luxury goods and exotic vacation destinations), but the Broccolis have jumped on social trends, often embarrassingly.
Let there be no mistake, a Black James Bond would be an act of dispossession far greater than a flotilla of a million refugees. Refugees are, after all, refugees. James Bond is a symbol of British identity—indeed, the British empire—and of European masculinity writ large.
There's reason to believe that the next James Bond will be White. Hollywood is a "dream factory"; it gives us depictions on screen of what we can't have in real life. As White men are discriminated against and demeaned, why not offer us "guilty pleasures" in the cinema?
They should just pick you and be done with it.
It would be blast to see Spencer as Bond!
The worst casting decision since they cast him in Stephen Kings The Dark Tower.
