MLK was a real person. Bond is a fictional character. You know Ira Aldridge was driven off the stage by daring to play Othello. Apparently, it was wrong for a black man to try and play a fictional black character. |

"Michael Fassbender"
Yes,absolutely,I've been saying this to anyone who'll listen. Fassbender would be excellent.
I think Craig is a very good Bond - closer to the original. |

DC has been the best so far and I grew up a massive connery fan. Good looking with a rough edge seems to work and Fassbender is a perfect fit for me. |

It's not racist at all. Idris Elba as Bond wouldn't work just as Brad Pitt wouldn't work as Shaft....Institutions both of those characters. |

Tom Hardy and Damien Lewis are such safe boring castings. They should push the character forward in age, I'd love to see an older grizzled, ex serviceman kind of Bond. Go for someone like Iain Glen, or of similar age and distinction. |

Another Bond!
What is going on? First we had Connery,he lasted 10 years (20 years if you count never say never again)and 7 films. Then Moore (we'll gloss over Lazenby), he was good for 12 years and another 7 films. then things go down hill...
Dalton 2 films, Brosnan 4 films, Danial Craig another 4 films...
Maybe they will find someone who can last more than 4 films.  |

I know a few people who say the same thing. And it's not racially motivated by them either. |

It's because of the time taken for modern films, in the same space of time Craig's made 4 as Moore made 7 |

Hugh Jackman would have made an awesome Bond, but he's too old now 
Chris Hemsworth would be good as well. Very good looking and can act.... 2 things Daniel Craig cant offer |

Not to mention that the films now days are more physically demanding on the actors. Bond has a lack of cgi (thank God. Yes I know they have a bit but not to the extent of the avengers) |

I've never liked Craig as Bond.
He is nothing like I imagine Bond to be. He was a naval commander, he should be suave, maybe have an air of gentry about him. Daniel Craig just seems like a cockney pickpocket dragged off the streets of London and every time I see him drive an Aston Martin I get the impression he's nicked it! |

"its a forum for opinion ....everyones opinion even mine....jude law"
It is
Your opinions are always welcome, but in the right context
It's not as if the forums are lacking in threads where you can discuss your political or social opinions is it ?
It doesn't mean we have to turn innocuous threads such as this into an excuse for a mini rant.
You could have just said 'Jude Law' without airing your views on discrimination policy

"who would be good if Daniel craig don't do another?"
While I think he is a smashing actor I would not like Idris Elba as Bond.James Bond was written as a white chatracter and while the PC brigade may push for this to change it should not happen,for example John Shaft is a black detective and should never ever be portrayed by a person of another colour/ethnicity.I have even heard people saying why not make Bond a woman? Are white men so bad that we need to be removed from equations so as to appease others? |

I totally agree. Bond is a white man and shouldn't be changed. We wouldn't expect Shaft to be played by a white person. Or B A from the A team to be white. So why change bond? |

I never considered Bond's ethnicity to be defining factor of his character...
Seems like there are two camps:
Those that see Bond as a white man who is suave, charming et al
And
Those who see Bond as a suave and charming person who happens to be a white man |

Fair play...
I guess, for me, the characters ethnicity is so inconsequential, particularly in relation to his other attributes, that I wouldn't be fussed either way. |

of course his ethnicity is of consequence,he was created as a spy for the british secret service to go undercover and infiltrate organisations,now as a white man in thet era he can pass pretty much most scrutiny if he stays in character but could a person of a different ethnicity do the same at the time he was created? I doubt it so therefore the character is quintessentially a white male who is suave and sophisticated by the standards of the day,just because we are now in a different era should not negate the whole foundation of the character |

The character should remain as they were created,this is not a race or gender issue but an issue of why the hell change things just to appease a group of people or for changes sake?"
Meant to say Watson as sidekick my bad. |

I thought we were talking about who was best to take a lead in the movies - which, if you have read the books as I have, are very far removed? It's amazing how Moore et al fitted in with their incredible Russian accents.
In the current geopolitical climate we would probably be best having a Muslim, or at least an Asian Bond, n'est pas? |

The foundation of the books is where the Bond legacy is created and as such he should remain a white man. |

James Bond is portrait as English . The character is fictional and Mi6 and Mi5 have people and agents on their books that go from looking like Mr bean to Osama Bin Laden. Think about it! |

I'm for Fassbender, watch this clip and see why.

"I would be good, the names Bond, James Bond. I'll have a vodka martini, shaken but not spilled."
There's a line in one of the films where a women on water skis says " sorry Mr Bond, I've made you all wet", and Bond replies, " yes, but my martini is still dry", Classic.  |

Spectre was good, linked all old films etc, but the film lasted too long for the storyline. Wasn't as good as Skyfall which had lower expectations and also had the added storyline of going back to Bond's roots and also losing the wonderful Dame Judi Dench's character M.
In terms of next Bond, I'm hoping for Damian Lewis, as I've been told by a few people I look like him! I'd love to look like a Bond! Sadly I don't think I quite have the look though! |

Can't sleep, but got to dissect some of these choices with some plain common sense:
Idris Elba - too black
Tom Hardy - too odd-looking
Damien Lewis - too ginger
Iain Glen - too old
Jason Statham - too Cockney, too bald
Tom Hiddleston - too puny
Charlie Hunnam - too Dick Van Dyke
Richard Armitage - too beaky
Which leaves Henry Cavill or Michael Fassbender. Neither are perfect, but could do a decent job, albeit in a George Lazenby kind of way.
