IDRIS Elba would make a great James Bond, as the pundits seem to suggest.
He’s got a sexy, brooding presence that lends itself to the ultimate spy and would follow Daniel Craig’s portrayal quite well. However, as previous Bond Pierce Brosnan points out, the superspy appears to have lost his sense of humour.
Competition apparently forced film-makers to re-mould Bond as more muscular and serious. But, Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Brosnan himself were quirky Bonds with funny lines and a wry take on life that was very cool. So let’s hope Idris’s Bond has a sense of humour, too.
