I want it to be Idris Elba. I saw a discussion about the possibility of a black James Bond on The Daily Mail comments section and from that moment Idris was my choice.

He’s a white. If William Roache left Corrie you wouldn’t recast Ken Barlow with Denzel Washington would you? Whatever next? Ray Winstone playing Wonder Woman?

Is Bond's ethnicity really important to the character though? It's the Black Panther - his ethnicity is a vital component. It's Wonder Woman - she is meant to be a woman. Bond as a character is not defined by his ethnicity rather his personality traits which a person of colour could easily adhere to. Especially as the producers are so eager to modernise Bond. I'm not being all PC and saying we need a black Bond and it shouldn't be given to somebody just for the sake of it, though, if somebody worthy like Elba was up for it, then I don't see why not.

I don't care if Bond is black, brown, green, yellow or blue, but he has to be a bloke, preferably a British bloke, otherwise its er...not james bond! james bond is a man, if they want to start another franchise with a female secret service agent then fine, lets allow the free market to decide if that is what audiences want to see, but leave Bond alone.

I have no issue at all with a future female James Bond as long as its properly inclusive and she's a drop dead gorgeous lesbian with a range of special toys by Q.

James Bond being female is ludicrous. Surely the name James gives it away that it needs be male.

Eddie Izzard, then folk won't claim a fictitious film character is a rapist.

Warwick Davis could play a Bond for the modern age, grappling with bisexual urges and his struggle to jump off of things due to his height. With Louis Spence as 'the girl'.
Not sure Warwick Davis could pull off a bisexual though.....
