Discussing the matter last year Elba said, “James Bond is a hugely coveted, iconic, beloved character, that takes audiences on this massive escapism journey.

The odds of Idris Elba taking on the 007 mantle have increased with the Star Trek Beyond actor now having a 10/1 shot in the betting to play the next James Bond.
Of course, if someone said to me ‘Do you want to play James Bond?,’ I’d be like, Yeah!
