    I don't see anything wrong with Idris Elba being the new James Bond.

      I see about a dozen things right with Idris Elba being the new Bond.

        Is it necessary to start this flame war again?

          I don't think I'm okay with James Bond being stunt cast, might as well cast Adam Sandler.

          Michael Fessbender would make a good bond.

          I'm the biggest Luther Fan by the way, Elba's just too badass for Bond anyway.

            Amy Pascal lurks!

              But how can that be? Amy Pascal is racist, right?

                    Yeah. Stunt casting. Grabbing a quality actor to fill the role. That's not how you do James Bond!

                    I never understand people going crazy about changing the race of fictional characters. It's not like they're real people. No one is making a movie about Ian Flemming and turning him black. But James Bond? Spiderman? Who cares?

                    Quality actor + quality script is all that matters.

                      So why not cast a woman, change the character's sex too?

                        They really should give Elba a franchise all of his own.

                          Not sure you understand what stunt casting is: hiring of well-known actors, such as movie stars, to play small roles on television series and in films.

                            You mean like a franchise that's separate but equal?

                              Stunt casting's when you hire a comedian to star in your cancer drama or the like, it's often effective because they take you off guard with their performance. I think they want a rehash of the controversy when Craig was cast in the role, but they want even more of it. Elba should make Luther films, it's a much better character anyway.
