I wanna see Idris Elba as Bond. He's cool as fuck and looks great in a tuxedo or suit.

But a woman Bond would be fun, too, if they were just like the OG Bonds. Make Chris Hemsworth Moneypenny.

    Idris Elba looks like God or the Devil in a suit, and for the life of me, I cannot tell you which one is cooler.

    Nothing against Daniel Craig as Bond, I think he fit the part. I think some of the movies weren't great for plot instead. I would've loved Elba to have been the next one when Craig first said he was done. Maybe Michael B Jordan now or Jamie Foxx back then as well. Bond in his 30s makes more sense in my head unless age is a specific plot point like Bruce Wayne in Batman beyond, but that starts complicating the 007 transfer a little on the nose for the franchise.

    Daniel Craig was good for a certain era of Bond.

    He came in after Austin Powers thoroughly skewered them. After that they had to go back to a more realistic Bond.

    I think Idris Elba would have had the unique ability to fit into either the more modern, more realistic Bond character, or into the classical Girls and Gadgets Bond era. In Luther he was basically almost playing a realistic version of Bond.
