Awww snap! Is the world ready for its first black ‘James Bond’ character; Idris Elba gets named?! Gets deets inside!
Well aside from the rest of the nation being in disarray and divided by some of the racially fueled issues taking place in America…looks like Tinseltown is finally trying to diversify its own bonds after actors and actresses of color have complained that Tinseltown is unwelcoming to minorities. Well, after the server hacking at Sony… loads of information has been made public knowledge to consumers and movie goers alike.
According to the newest batch of leaked emails that have been blasted for all to see, Sony execs are talking about the next James Bond installment, and surprise surprise…. black British hottie Idris Elba gets named as a contender for the role?

“Idris should be the next Bond,” Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal wrote nearly a year ago in an e-mail to Elizabeth Cantillon, a former executive vice president at Columbia Pictures.
The leaked e-mail, reported by the Daily Beast, is from a trove of private e-mails, salary reports and bits of script and rough footage swiped and released by hackers believed to be from North Korea.
Current Bond actor Daniel Craig is signed on to one more “James Bond” installment, “Spectre,” due out on Nov. 5, 2015.
But Craig has been trying to ditch the role since he agreed to star in the secret-agent flicks.
“I’ve been trying to get out of this from the very moment I got into it. But they won’t let me go, and I’ve agreed to do a couple more, but let’s see how this one does, because business is business, and if the s–t goes down, I’ve got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their ass with,” Craig told the Daily Beast in 2012.”
Would you go out and see the newest Bond film if it had Idris in it?? I know I would! Share your thoughts!
