It's 2014 Still no black agent 007 a.k.a. James Bond

[Thoughts]

James Bond isn't one guy, it's a code name giving to 007 agents. I'm personally against affirmative action charity in comic book movies and remakes. But James Bond is the exception.

I've been a Bond fan since the 80's ...if this franchise hopes to continue to keep their black audience they may have to jazz it up a little. I mean Bond chopped down several black women in the series. Why can't a black man chop down some hoes, drive a nice car and shoot bad guys to save the day?


Who do you brehs think would make a decent black Bond?

It would just water down the recognizable characteristics of the franchise even more. It's like having a white Shaft.

That being said..Cuba Gooding. Or Omar Epps.

I never heard nobody complain that there hasn't been a black Doctor Who.

He has to be British though ...all James Bonds were British actors. Shaft and James Bond aren't in the same scope. James Bond is an M16 agent whom which they ARE black agents in the films...just not leading roles.

White supremacy in the M16? In 2014? It's just not believable.

Michael Jai White
Omar from the Wire (even though his name is Michael K Williams)
Michael B Jordan
Wesley Snipes

why not have a Bond that just so happen to be black

Besides Idris....(who's the mostly likely candidate)

I think these brothas have the range and swag to deliver a good bond movie as AGENT 007


Chiwetel Ejiofor

David Oyelowo

David Harewood

or how about we have another awesome movie with a black lead

I don't get why folks on this site think changing the race of an established white character to black is progression

Last I heard he sat down with the producer a cpl years ago. Nothing came about, might be because of Ibris busy schedule in the states. Im sure they have a script shelved for him tho. I would imagine.

I can't think of anyone else to play Black Bond. Even the British Media want him.

Um, I think the OP just made an opinion but the franchise itself has been looking into a black bond for awhile. Ask them why they think its progressive for their franchise.
