March 4th 2023.
For many years, speculation has been rife that Idris Elba could be the next James Bond, and the release of his new movie Luther: The Fallen Sun seems to have put these rumours to bed. Following Daniel Craig's final departure as 007 in the 2021 movie No Time To Die, people have been wondering who will be the next to take up the mantle.
In a recent interview, Idris admitted that he was 'very close' to the producers of the Bond franchise and that the scene in Luther in which his character rejects a martini was a nod to the rumours. He described being linked to the part as 'an honour' and 'a compliment', but went on to say that there had never been any truth to the speculation.

For quite some time, fans of the Bond films have been of the opinion that Idris Elba would be a terrific choice for the role of 007.
However, with the release of Luther: The Fallen Sun, the actor has finally addressed the reality of the conjecture.
As Daniel Craig bowed out of the franchise with No Time To Die, many have questioned who will take up the mantle of the world-famous spy.
In an interview, Idris Elba made it clear that he was very close to the producers of the franchise.
The Fallen Sun even included a scene in which lead character John Luther turns down a martini, a subtle reference to the actor potentially being casted.
The actor confessed to The Guardian that he and the producers were ‘laughing about the rumours’ that he might replace Daniel, and that he has not come close to being cast for the role.
Idris acknowledged that being linked to the part was ‘an honour’, but that it ‘is not a truth’.
