THOR Star Idris Elba Responds To Recent JAMES BOND Casting Speculation
"Sony Hack" documents revealed that the studio were keen on the idea of Idris Elba playing James Bond, while the actor has expressed interest in the role in the past. Following Rush Limbaugh's controversial comments about all of that, the Luther star has fired back...
It's no secret that Idris Elba is interested in the role of James Bond (as long as it's not simply so he can be classified as "The Black Bond"), while some recently leaked emails confirmed that Sony Pictures were also keen on him possibly taking over the role somewhere down the line. Now, following Rush Limbaugh's controversial comments that, "Sony is suggesting that the next James Bond should be Idris Elba, a black Briton rather than a white from Scotland. But that's not who James Bond is, and I know it's racist to probably even point this out," the Thor star has responded in a tongue in cheek manner on Twitter. Would you like to see Elba play 007?
