Idris Elba Reacts to All Those James Bond Rumors

One of the recently-leaked Sony emails revealed that some of the movie studio’s executives think it would be pretty cool if Idris Elba played James Bond. And, well, it would be.

Isn't 007 supposed to handsome? Glad you think I've got a shot! Happy New year people. pic.twitter.com/3g9lAl2Uo3
