Idris Elba took 26% of the vote among 1000 fans polled by UK movie theater chain ODEON as reported by Express.
However, 22% choose Venom actor Tom Hardy.
While recent reports that Idris Elba was actually being actively considered for the role turned out to be false, that hasn’t stopped many from believing that it’s time to see the role gain some diversity and that Elba would be the perfect man to take that step.
Tom Hardy was a name that was also rumored as a potential new Bond back before Daniel Craig had agreed to return for another film, and while he never commented on the rumors, he said the reason he wouldn’t talk about it was because he didn’t want the role to go away, which implied he was interested.
