Idris Elba will not be playing the iconic MI6 spy once Daniel Craig retires.
However, some recent rumors cropped up that connected him to the actual producers of the franchise as a contender for the next James Bond.
Elba is 45-years-old now, meaning that he would be pushing 50 by the time he got around to it, since Daniel Craig is still playing the part in next year’s James Bond 25.
Idris Elba had previously indicated that he felt he was too old for the role at this point in his career.
