I would, i think idris would be perfect, the white folks and black folks love him, and sistahs would go to see him too

A blacker version with more hip hop would attract the younger crowds

I would too, but honestly, the success would depend on the writing. The reason previous attempts have fallen flat is that they're mostly just scripts that were written in a vacuum with a default (meaning white) interpretation of the characters, and they decided to cast a black person for the role. I think something that was written with a black actor in mind that accounts for their uniquely different personality, but doesn't overcompensate for it would be great.

Studios think that when we say we want a black James Bond for example, that we want James Bond played by a black guy, when in actuality what they're being asked for is James Bond actually written as a black man.

True, the closest we got was live and let die, which was a good script. True they can’t just have a black guy, it’s got to be for a black guy

Bond flick's are sick. My Grandma put me on when I was a kid. She really like Sean Connery as bond. But my favourite is probably Daniel Craig
My grandpa for me
Connery is king
Moore was bond in my favorite one
Timothy Dalton most underrated, he was a different type bond, bruh was dark and he had a lot to fight for in both joints

Paramount and hbo max has a nice combo of the films

Diamonds are forever and live and let die was my favorites especially with the New Orleans and harlem scenes

Underrated was a view to kill, young strange’ and Christopher walken was in his bag as a villain, the mid 80’s music shyt was piff

We on the same wavelength, at times I was too harsh on Moore but Dalton was my favorite Bond.

Top 5:
License to Kill
Goldeneye
Nobody Does It Better
You Only Live Twice
Casino Royale
