But I do like Denzil Washington as The Equalizer after I saw it on tv though I didn’t ever watch it with Edward Woodward. Looking forward to the sequel. COYP

Anybody genuinely upset at the thought of a talented black man being James Bond, should be delighted that in their life, this is the only thing that's caused anxiety. In other words, get a grip! laddo "People say, live fast, die young. I say live fast, die old. That's me, the non-conformist". David Brent.

In other words, get a grip! Not sure people will be upset. More meh about ever watching or whether they like it or not and money taken at the box office will plummet, and that’s what decides the next move be. Could be a very uncomfortable decision to make with finger wagging at ‘ignorant white people’ because of it so actually a step backwards instead of forwards. COYP

Apart from a dreadful sky advert I have seen Idris Elba in a couple of films and I reckon that he plays him self rather than acts, so ideal for Bond, if not him how about Warwick Davis!

Julian Clary would make an excellent James Bond. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

If they really want a different Bond,then maybe they should get Jackie Chan,that should please the snowflakes. Touch my coffee and I will slap you so hard even Google won't be able to find you.

Casting a black actor as Bond isn't 'change' - it's pc-driven BS in the name of 'diversity'. James Bond is, definitively, white. And if something is working well, why change it anyway?

I've no particular issue with Elba if he gets it as the best candidate...as long as Bond is kept youthful enough....but I don't like this condescending attitude. How has times changed for Poland or Japan or any number of countries in this area? These are choices. Besides we always hear from the 'progressive' left that the ethnicity of a role must be adhered to....how is this any different.

This isn’t change - it’s just to appease the PC brigade and their obsessive need for diversity. If Boyz N the Hood was remade with all white actors, there would be outrage. Bond. Is. WHITE. Why change it to make the lefties and SJW’s feel better? "Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

Edited by Stirlingsays (12 Aug 2018 3.39pm) Funny isn't it how outraged people become when a Black or Asian character is played by a White person but it's fine to change the ethnicity of one of he most iconic White characters in cinema just to be 'progressive'. No, I won't embrace it. We all need relatable characters in fiction. Hearing Black people going mad over Black Panther demonstrates clearly that people aren't colour blind. This is not a 'White thing'.
