I thought he was ok, but that script would have made anybody look bad.
Are there any tribes in Africa with white people?

i think T'Challas' race is an inherent and indispensable aspect of his character.
all i'd say that matters for bond is being british and being that smooth/classy dude
Why is Black Panther the only black lead character you guys can seem to come up with?
A better comparison would be casting a white guy in the Danny Glover character of the Lethal Weapon franchise. Or the Will Smith character in Men in Black.
Heimdall is a ing NORSE God, yet they cast Elba
As much as I wouldn't like to be placed on the racist, dumb, conservative side of the argument, I just can't help but laugh at the dumb s screaming "racism" just because folks are expressing their opinion about not wanting a character, they have followed their entire lifes, not being radically changed in appearance.
Srs question for all you folks: Wouldn't you be put off by a bald Superman? Superman hair isn't essential to the character, so following the logic of some here, I should guess you wouldn't, although I'm sure that would be a lie.
What is wrong with wanting one of your favourite characters to remain as true as possible to the character you have grown to like?
Not everything has to be racist, tbh. es were whinning like crazy about the guy casted for Fifty Shades of Gray not resembling the character described on the book. Clearly not a problem of race, since the actor was white. Hardcore fans will always want their favourite characters to be represented as close as possible to the mental representations they have of those characters.
With that being said, I just googled this Elba guy. He does seem like he could pull a very convincent James Bond, look wise. Much better than the old fart looking dude that was playing him untill now. But then again, I'm not a James Bond fan, so I really wouldn't know.
^ racist rant noted
Whatever son.

"He's a great actor"
I will need proof. A good actor, sure.
Luther, the Wire.
Bend over, I’ll in give ya proof
Good choice, but he totally whiffed as Roland in the abortion that was the Dark Tower movie. Willing to give him a second chance since he could be really good and DT was a total dumpster fire.
Bond should be a ninety year-old Scottsman for consistency with the original actor
Daniel Craig looks nothing like Sean Connery, who looks nothing like Pierce Brosnan.As much as I wouldn't like to be placed on the racist, dumb, conservative side of the argument, I just can't help but laugh at the dumb s screaming "racism" just because folks are expressing their opinion about not wanting a character, they have followed their entire lifes, not being radically changed in appearance.
I could easily see a bald Superman. Like a Vin Diesel type, except someone who could act.Srs question for all you folks: Wouldn't you be put off by a bald Superman?

Your "true" is based only on his skin color. Period. You see his blackness as a fundamentally more extreme character change than any other physical trait. This doesn't make you a bad person, but you should reflect on it.What is wrong with wanting one of your favourite characters to remain as true as possible to the character you have grown to like?
Didn't you say earlier in this post that you've followed this character your entire life?But then again, I'm not a James Bond fan, so I really wouldn't know.
Tbh his casting as Roland is 1000000000x worse considering the gunslinger was repeatedly called honky by Detta Walker.
Elba as Bond is solid on paper.
So Edris always plays a black guy? Why you guys expect him to pull off James Bond. Cracks me up
Heimdall is not from Norway.
If Elba is (skillwise) the best man for the job I have no Problem with him portraying Bond.
How long until we get a female Bond? Feminazis assemble!
Is he from Africa?
Elba is British.
Just like Anthony Hopkins.
Neither are from Africa.
Neither Heimdall nor Odin are from Britain.
He's not from Earth
So you think there will be a female cast as James Bond some day?
