Idris Elba, who remains a favorite James Bond fan cast, responds to the racist backlash that accompanied becoming a contender for the role.
Frequent James Bond fan cast Idris Elba responds to the racist backlash that ensued when he became a top choice for 007. Since Daniel Craig bid farewell to the role with No Time To Die, it's been unclear who will be next to don the tuxedo, wield the Walther PPK, and drive the Aston Martin.
“The truth is, I was super complimented for a long time about this. James Bond... It’s one of those coveted [roles]. Being asked to be James Bond was like ‘OK, you’ve sort of reached the pinnacle’.

It became about nonsense and I got the brunt of it.”Could The Next James Bond Be Black? Addressing rumors that he could be the next Bond, Elba said last year that it wasn't "a goal for [his] career" and that playing 007 doesn't currently align with his ambitions as an actor.
