Idris Elba?
so with the Sony hack, apparently some of the emails leaked were that execs want Idris Elba as the next Bond.
I know we have had these discussions before, but I am so sick of this PC . Elba is a fine actor, and I am all for more diversity in movies and TV, but stop taking white characters and casting them with black actors, just to be PC. Create a new franchise and character and stop messing with beloved and established characters. I wouldn't like it any better if it was a black character being cast with a white actor. I mean what would people say if they had cast Falcon with a white actor in Winter Soldier? it would just be wrong.
I felt the same way about this new Annie movie, a character I could not care less about. But the character is supposed to be a feisty red head. If you want to do a similar story, fine, but call her something else.
