Idris also handles Russians like a boss.

Not to continue beating a dead horse but Craig was 47 when he appeared in Spectre (the second most recent Bond film) and his character retired at the end of that movie. In the most recent film he wasn’t 007 anymore.
I’d still watch an Idris Elba Bond movie if he actually wanted to make one (maybe a fresh take where he’s playing an older, wiser version of the character instead of a reckless young cad) but Elba isn’t wrong that he’d be a lot older than most first-time Bonds.
I just want him to be bond to trigger the racists (and because he’s awesome sauce)… Maybe we can find a younger, Black American actor to play him instead… or like… a Nigerian actor from Nigeria, not Afro-Brit?

At least we already got to see them trigger the racist Bond fans by casting a Black actress (Naomie Harris) as Moneypenny.

Nice; we can trigger the racist Star Wars fans at the same time.

That reminds me…I haven’t been keeping up with The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Me neither… I need to get around to seeing it at some point…

I also wouldn’t mind Henry Golding or Régé-Jean Page. Both are suave (like Elba) but a bit younger so they can commit to the 12 years that the Broccolis want with the next Bond.

Second that from me. I’ve wanted this since I saw him in Crazy Rich Asians.

It’s irrelevant - he’s an immortal Norse god.

TIL Hellen Keller was in favor of eugenics…
Peter Coyote is still narrating many of these projects.

Wow, that first episode. 
Also, I’ve started on this one after seeing a few historian docs on the BBC, and it is spot on. 
Oh my dog, the reaction shots from the actual historians…

Just watched the first episode. My concern was if they could actually turn something that really excelled as a short into a full half hour. It was a pleasant surprise.
