James Bond has never been played by a black actor, but that may be about to change. Who do you think should get the nod?
With an extensive career in television series such as Insiders, The Wire and The Office, Idris Elba, who also recently seen in Thor, Ghost Rider and Prometheus, is postulated as a strong candidate to succeed Daniel Craig.

That does not spread the alarm, Daniel Craig has already closed the next two projects of the Bond series, but in the meantime, the producer begins to seek the ideal candidate to succeed him. For now, the stakes are high, but the candidate also has an undoubted attraction to embody the character.
Skyfall star Naomie Harris has revealed that Luther star Idris Elba met Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and may well be in the running to take over the role of 007 – thereby becoming the first black James Bond. Other names put forward in the past include Colin Salmon and Adrian Lester.
It was the actress Naomie Harris, who has confirmed that Idris Elba has already met with producers, and has even negotiated to take over from Craig in the future. He himself claimed in recent statements that the physical demands of the character's adventures could begin to weigh because the years do not pass the bucket. And is that it takes years to put in place a production like Skyfall, which hits theaters on October 31.
In Harris's words: "I was not aware that there had this talk, but then I did a movie with Idris and told me that he had met with the producer of James Bond (Barbara Broccoli) and there was a possibility that he was the first black James Bond. and the truth is I would have to vote for Idris because I just finished a movie with him and is a great guy.

All for it,

About time they step out of the norm and give a respected black actor the Bond role.

I also thought Colin Salmon would have been a great pick for Bond.
