“I’m not going to be that guy.”
I’m going to be John Luther.
That’s who I am," Elba said, as reported byThe Associated Press.
“It’s very dark,” Elba said of the TV show.
For a long time, fans have suggested enthusiastically that Elba could be the next James Bond.
Even thelongtime producers of the series said they like Elba.
Craig played James Bond in five films, ending with 2021’s No Time To Die.
“It’s about a reinvention, and, ‘Where are we taking it?
What do we want to do with the character?'”
Whoever gets the role will need to sign on for numerous films over a decade, Broccoli said.
“The thing is, it’s going to be a couple of years off,” she said.
“And when we cast Bond, it’s a 10-, 12-year commitment.
So he’s probably thinking, ‘Do I really want that thing?’
Not everybody wants to do that.
It was hard enough getting [Daniel Craig to do it].”
