Is It Time For A Black James Bond?

Word around the campfire is that English hunk Idris Elba is slated to pick up the Walther PPK after Daniel Craigʼs contract expires with the filming of the 27th Bond film in the franchise. Would Elba make a great Bond? FIB says absolutely. Heʼs a terrific, charismatic actor. A genuine real life badass. For that matter, what about Fuqua, an African American, as the director? If the Bond producers wanted to break with the tradition of hiring only British passport holders for the position, the guy behind “ Training Day” would be also be a great choice.
