The revelations came in a leaked Sony email written earlier this year and it suggested the next James Bond should be Idris Elba.

Hey, we have a black president, why not a black 007?

In an email dated Jan. 4, Amy Pascal, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s motion pictures group, wrote to Elizabeth Cantillon, former executive vice president of production for Columbia Pictures, which distributes the Bond films, simply saying: “Idris should be the next bond,” according to a report from The Daily Beast.

There has been speculation for some time that Elba, 42, was a possible replacement when the current Bond, Daniel Craig, departs the franchise. A Facebook group called “We Want Idris Elba For James Bond” has 30,000 members.

Craig is currently filming “Spectre,” his fourth screen outing as the iconic British spy. He is contracted to appear in one more Bond film after “Spectre,” according to The Guardian.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
