Elba as Bond?

@jon-nyc said in Elba as Bond?:
Honestly the Daniel Craig character was about as far from Bond as you could get.
Really? I thought his portrayal in Casino Royale was pretty spot on. Also, the movie was faithful to the book.
Far from the Bond Character? David Niven, with Roger Moore second.

One of the best Bond films. Fleming's Bond could be cold and ruthless. I think Craig portrays that aspect pretty well in the film.

I'm against changing the race or gender of characters taken from books to film. Filmmakers should remain faithful to the author's depiction. It's his/her creation, after all. To fiddle with the race/gender is to show contempt for the creator.

Isn’t that cultural appropriation? Shall we have Mel Gibson play an African guide?

The movies were entertaining, but they weren’t really Bond films.

I would argue that Roger Moore was about as far from Bond as you could get

@George-K , ChatGPT generates English text only. To generate pictures, maybe try Midjourney, but most likely you have to pay for it.
