"Only one man can pull together that much Black muscle in this town"
We can safely say Idris Elba is out of the running to play James Bond.
Idris, 50, has distanced himself from the role. Bond mogul Michael G. Wilson declared that the next 007 actor will be "thirty-something".
But that doesn't mean the actor to take the reigns from Daniel Craig won't be Black, according to Naomie Harris, aka Miss Moneypenny.
"I didn't realise there was this talk, and then I did a film with Idris. He said he met Barbara Broccoli, and there's a possibility that there could very well be a Black James Bond".
