He's aged too much to feel fresh. Plus, Elba is a better villain actor. I'd rather see Chiwetel Ejiofor or Tom Hardy get consideration. I think quite highly of Chiwetel Ejiofor but would rather see him as an agent from a rival organization. Not necessarily an evil organization, but a rival one. I don't know if the Bond franchise is ready to try that, though. Wouldn’t that basically be what Anya Amasova was in The Spy Who Loved Me? A rival agent working for another country.

Hasn’t even Elba said he thinks he’s too old for the role? Dude certainly isn’t hurting for work, I think he’ll be a’ight.
I see a lot of people advocating for Tom Hardy which is bizarre to me. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the guy play a suave role. Other than having the physicality and being British I’m not sure what leads people to think he’d be a good choice.
Ejiofor is an interesting choice. Could see him being a Bond in the Daniel Craig mode.

Outside option - Scott Eastwood. Thereby coming full circle by accepting a role dad Clint turned down in the 70s.

Make Elba another 00 agent in a Bond movie, and make him memorable, then give him spin off movies.

Having watched Cats. No. He and M had no chemistry.

Yes, but even when they were on the “opposite” sides Leiter was an ally. I’m talking a legitimate rival.

Too old.
Would have been great if he was five years younger. Could have got five good movies out of him.

Yeah, unfortunately probably too old at this point.
He probably would have been good.
as a Villain? he'd probably nail it.

He should play M after Ralph Fiennes is done with the role.

Having watched Cats. No. He and M had no chemistry. Damn. Was it as bad as it’s been made out to be? In terms of Elba as Bond, I also think that he’s too imposing a physical presence. He’s 6ft plus and in decent shape - he’d tower over most Bond villain henchmen and would look like he’d not be threatened when fighting them.

British preferably. Irish is fine. Australian, Canadian or NZ perhaps.
American is out of the question.
