Babs Broccoli claims that next James Bond could be black or female

Babs might be right.

An almost all-black cast to Black Panther has brought in over US$500m at the US Box Office.

Chadwick Boseman for 007.

Idris Elba!
Seriously, how is he not superior a prospect compared to disinterested Daniel Craig, who is only returning because of the Godfather offer paycheck?

Hard to go see Bond 25 knowing that Craig is just on auto-pilot and thinking about his bank account.

I used to like him when he was an underdog, now he's just a pussy who's more known for his outlandish statements than actually being an Ambassador for the role.

Big FU for Craig. Right now I prefer to see Peter Dinklage as Bond and even he is taller than you. Bitch.

Whereas the Beeb adaptation of The Night Manager served as a decent 'pitch' for Hiddleston as Bond, afraid I couldn't say the same for James Norton and the recent McMafia. He was kinda bland.

Apart from Idris Elba, I don't really like any of those options.
If not Elba, I guess Jack Huston is the least poor option. Not that he is the kind of actor I would associate with the role by any means.
But at least "Boardwalk Empire" suggests he can convey a certain threat and convincingly portray a killer.

Chris Hemsworth with an 'other fella' line in the PTS.

I despair.

I like him, I got all wetty when he took his shirt off in the first Thor movie.

I'm not sure Chris Hemsworth is really that keen on the Bond role. Nor do I think he would be a great choice.
On the other hand, I guess he wouldn't mind another franchise to latch onto now that his Marvel gravy train is about to reach its terminus.

Agreed, he's the only choice after Craig.

Good point. Didn't think of that. 

Such a shame (no pun intended).

Makes him all the more suitable to play Ian Fleming's James Bond.

Babs' grumbling little SJW (I think his/hers/xe's name is still James Bond, but can't be sure) not so much.

But then some people would complain the role went to a Yank.

They never seem to complain when American super-hero roles go to Brits or Aussies.

I'm not saying I'm against an American playing Bond personally. Historically some Bond fans have reacted quite harshly against even rumors of an American being considered for the role.
