The famous agent 007 will once again be Daniel Craig, and in the next film, according to announcements, he could be succeeded by the actor Idris Elba, British Metro learns.
The producer of the famous film about agent 007 Barbara Broccoli said that she is open to changes when it comes to the main actor.
The Daily Star adds that producer Broccoli spoke with director Antoine Fuqua about casting a non-"white" actor in the role.
It is also reported that she allegedly told the director "that it is time" for a person with darker skin to get the role. She added that the role could soon be entrusted to someone from an "ethnic minority".
"Idris could do it if he's fit," she revealed.
"We need a guy who is physically strong. Idris is that," she added.
Elba is confused by the rumors and insisted that the producers should contact him first, and that everything will depend on "the will of the people". However, it is already heard that the role was not entrusted to him because he is the right actor for it, but because he is black, reports B92.
Idris Elba is a British actor, musician and DJ. He starred in the series "Informants", "Luther" and the films "American Gangster", "Prometheus", "Battle for the Pacific"...
