I know quite a few people who were upset that Idris Elba is not being considered. I don’t know if I’ve seen him in anything but the Avengers movies, so I can’t really comment on his acting, but he is easy on the eyes…
When that conversation was happening, some were suggesting a female Bond, and I would be OK with that. Rachel Weiss (the wife of our current Bond) or Kate Winslet would work for me.
Finding an actor who can convey those Bond qualities of being suave yet tough, classy on the surface but gritty underneath, debonair but with ice in their veins, isn’t as easy these days as it once seemed
