Here’s what Broccoli had to say when she was asked whether Idris Elba’s name has ever come up for Bond:

Well, we know Idris, we’re friends with him, and he’s a magnificent actor. And, you know, it’s been part of the conversation, but it’s always difficult to have the conversation when you have someone in the seat. I think we have decided that until No Time To Die has had its run and Daniel has been able to – well, we’ve all been able to savour, reap the benefits of Daniel’s wonderful tenure, we’re not gonna think about, or talk about anybody else, actors to play the role or storylines, we just want to live in the moment.

It is true that there are a lot of people out there who would love to see Elba play Bond.

He would be a brilliant choice for the role, and I’m sure he would do an excellent job.

This means that he realistically only get to play Bond for two more movies.

That said, there have been rumours that Elba’s in talks to be the villain in the next Bond movie.
