    @Catseye3 said in Elba as Bond?:

    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?

      Honestly the Daniel Craig character was about as far from Bond as you could get.

      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.
