Daniel Craig: The Next Bond Should Be Black
Daniel Craig and Bond girl costar Olga Kurylenko hype up their new 007 movie, Quantum Of Solace, at the St. Regis Grand Hotel on Wednesday in Rome, Italy.
There, Craig, 40, sang the praises of Barack Obama, America’s president-elect.
“If we can have a black U.S. president we can have a black James Bond,” he said. “This is as significant as when man landed on the moon. The Obama election is a wake up call for the whole world.
Craig added, “I’m a real fan of Obama because I like his political ideas. And I think it’s the right moment for a black James Bond.”
WHO DO YOU THINK could be the next black James Bond???

its nice to see him and olga together for a change
Ian Fleming named his character after an author of the Birds of the World he saw in his study at Goldeneye in Jamaica.
The authors name was James Bond.
Get your story right.
Remember the actor who plays Bond has to British or part of the Commonwealth (exception: Pierce was Irish)…
we have some hot Brit actors and so does Australia…
Batman,Capt.America,Spiderman,Iron Man should all be black too….
Majoring in History and Public Affairs with Obama promising big change for America and the world…HIGH expectations from him likely will be a letdown. He has no Sept.11 national drama. All WW2 Presidents so hyped suffered from the freshman blues at the White House. Only 3 were exceptional such a Nixon,JFK and Reagan but remember JFK and Nixon had bad endings and Reagan had the boost from the Cold War(scary time for America) and surviving his assasination attempt.
exactly whats going to happen the next four years
everything is going to become MORE about race when the point is it should be LESS about race
obama isn’t even black. he’s mixed. so half the black people that love him so much.. in real life.. would shun him because he calls himself and presents himself as black when “he isn’t fully african-american”
and a black james bond would be weird.
you shouldn’t change something like that when its a movie and irrelevant. it wouldn’t connect to the other films because all of the sudden he’s black
OH
and people get tired of hearing african americans scream about what happened to them years ago because it wasn’t JUST to the blacks.
indians and other minorities were still slaves YEARS after blacks were given freedom.
they just have enough class to not scream about it and throw the race card around all the time.
not that i wanted to make this into a race comment session, i would prefer will smith to as a “black” james bond.
But as a white male, whom had nothing to do with slaves being traded nor beat is sick of “some” not all black people thinking that I and my race owes them anything, and pull the race card every time or sometimes things do not go their way…
yes latinos and asians helped with electing obama, but if this country was a racist as jesse jackson and other proclaim it to be meaning whites against blacks, barack would not be the president imo
erin i couldnt have said it better myself…i was once told that even us white folk were a sort of slaves back in the day in europe, am I crying…
get over it, quit with the black white bond how bout just a James Bond
BLACK AND KINDA SEXY??
WILL SMITH DEFINETELY…
hehe, a black Bond yeah!
i have few black friends and they are totally cool… will smith would definetely be a super sexy bond or that hot model from britney spears toxic video.. whats his name? tyson i think :)
A black James Bond would be great. But the actors that some of you mentioned, I like them, but I can’t see any of them playing James Bond. They just will not do. I think they should find fresh new talent, a new face, IF, that ever happens!
Bond has to British or part of the Commonwealth….come on people.
That tradition they will not break.
President Obama leads to today’s Wall Street and World’s stock market plunging because they are losing more confidence as investors.
Not a good sign for Osama I mean Obama.
2 of my kids are adopted. They have several races in them. White, Hispanic, & African American. They are Beautiful!!! When people ask me about it I tell them they are American.
We have an American president that’s skin color is brown. That is what is wonderful. America is what it is because of all the cultures united as one. Lets think about that Americans.
click,
`will smith - with no comedy. you wanna give a gun to the fresh prince of bel-air? LOL
mos def…. nah! lacks the charisma, style, looks, smooth debonair swagger. and he probably couldn’t fight to save his life. don cheadle on the other hand would be a bit better… but, no way!
…denzel would be a perfect bond, if he were younger..
With that said: Will Smith is HOT so if they are going to do it, have a bond with color. He is my vote.
If James Bond were black his name would be Jamal Bond. I could see the titles…
Dr.Hell No
From Compton With Love
But I hope Daniel Craig stays on for a while. He is hot! I like the fact he’s not a pretty boy. I’ve read many sources that compare him to Steve McQueen and I think that is very accurate.
i’m confused. how did a simple statement by daniel craig that the next bond should be black suddenly turn into a political discussion. can’t we just discuss the idea without all the political hype??

look at satsuki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like they both got some sun
Why not? That would be great. Will smith though having a smoldering body and a great face a little bit too much into comedy. But there are many hot, young blck actors who could do this…
Racist people is the people who see races and not personalities…
Ofcouse this comments came because Barack Obama is President now… but for me I see a PRESIDENT… like the other presidents.. and we need to think if will be good or bad… and dont think.. the black president.. or the white president….. because making that kind of difference is being racist…
Not every god damned thing has to be taken over by a black person these days…..
Lets have some white guy play Jesse Jackson in a movie or something, and see how that goes over… see the point??
Yes, 100 of years after slavery, we, the white people, should be made accountable for the abysmally unjust conditions in which more than 50% of the african american people live. The wealth we enjoy as the middle class america today was built on slave labor and the removal of native americans from their land (read the hsiotry of capitalist development in North America).
It would be fine in few generations if good social reform programs raise the bottom tear into an acceptable platform.
Idris Elba would be a great Bond ( if they want to go that route). He’s black, sophisticated AND British.
Will Smith would NOT make a good Bond. He couldn’t pull off a British accent to save his life.
Look up Edris Elba (sp?) who someone mentioned. He’s British. He would be a better choice.
