In addition to women, is there another black candidate for the new 007?

We have previously reported that there are rumors that black actress Lashana Lynch will be the next 007. In the trailer for "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw", there is a scene where the villain played by Idris Elba declares "I am Black Superman". Starring Dwayne Johnson revealed to Variety that Elba was supposed to say "I am Black James Bond" in the film, but Elba rejected the joke.

Elba has long been rumored to take over from Daniel Craig as the new 007 actor after Bond 25, and he has always been a fan favorite. Elba recently spoke to Vanity Fair about the possibility of playing James Bond, and told the media that although he likes the idea, he is not necessarily going to push for it.

"James Bond is a coveted, iconic, beloved character that invites audiences to participate in a massive escapist journey," Elba said in an interview for the magazine's cover story. "Of course, if someone said to me, 'Would you like to play James Bond?' I would say, yes, that's so appealing! But what I'm saying is not, yes, I want to be a black James Bond."

“You get frustrated,” he continued. “ When you look at it from a generational perspective, ‘That’s impossible.’ It’s really because of the color of my skin. If I get a role and it doesn’t work, or if it does work well, is that because of the color of my skin? I don’t want to be in that situation if I don’t have to .”

In addition to "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw", Elba also starred in the film adaptation of the musical "Cats" this year.
