Heimdall as Bond? Why not?
After Daniel Craig’s confirmation that the 25th Bond film will be his last, long time fan favorite Idris Elba (The Wire, Luther, Thor) is once again the frontrunner to take up the mantle of the iconic British spy.
But it’s not just the fans who are pushing for this to happen. Idris, himself, is the one stoking the flames this time, thanks to a cryptic tweet containing the spy’s iconic catchphrase.

‘My name’s Elba, Idris Elba.’
However, he has since tried to diffuse the story with a follow-up tweet
Don’t believe the HYPE…

But fans are already too excited to care, with some even already pitching stories for Elba’s bond
Are HYPE the criminal organisation you have to take down, 007?

There was a loud explosion, as if the very fabric of London had been ripped into two. A pillar of fire shot up against the darkening sky, turning dusk to dawn. His eyes instantly watered, the fluid protesting against the smog. It was done. HYPE was in ashes. *cue 007 music*

Unfortunately, Dr. Osborn, a Machiavellian scientist (who previously worked for MI6), a nano-technology specialist, decided to join Hype in order to develop one of the weapons that will aim to overthrow the world order. … the CIA and the NSA have already paid the price …

They LEGIT want him in that suit
I’m sorry but it is just ridiculous to consider casting Idris Elba as James Bond.
He is by no means a .007

Idris Elba as James Bond?! What next? Other talented actors at the top of their game breathing new life into franchises and genres which have become boring and stagnant through over saturation in a world where ticket sales mean more than actual good original stories?

If you don't want Idris Elba to be James Bond, because you want Tom Hiddleston to be Bond:
1. Tom has iterated on numerous occasions that he has no interest in being Bond, and hasn't been offered the role anyway.
2. IDRIS DESERVES IT. He is so underrated.
3. You are cancelled

‘007’ fans have long since asked for a ‘non-white’ actor to play the role, with long-time Bond producer Barbara Broccoli agreeing with the same sentiment.
And why not? The dude’s got the charm
The looks
