"And, you know, it's been part of the conversation, but it's always difficult to have the conversation when you have someone in the seat." "Well, we know Idris, we're friends with him, and he's a magnificent actor,” the 61-year-old shared on Deadline’s Crew Call podcast. The actor is also good friends with the producer Broccoli, who earlier this year addressed rumours that Elba might be the next Bond. The 49-year-old is known for starring in Lucifer and has featured in several big Hollywood films including Pacific Rim, Thor: Ragnarok, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw and The Suicide Squad. Idris Elba has been a fan favourite for years. He’s earned a respectable spot on Coral, Betfred and William Hill with 5/2 odds. Page leads the betting board with 2/1 odds on Paddy Power, Sky Bet and Betfair.

Fans weren't keen that he was blonde and Craig himself had cold feet and tried to talk producer Barbara Broccoli out of the decision. James Bond is the longest-running film franchise and back in 2005, when the series was searching for their new Bond, Daniel Craig wasn’t the first choice. And at present there are three main candidates who could take Craig’s position and sip on a freshly shaken martini. No Time To Die, which came out last September was Craig’s final film in the James Bond franchise. Daniel Craig's turn in the Aston Martin is over.
