Actor Idris Elba is reportedly in talks to star in the next James Bond film. However, the Luther star will not play the titular character but is expected to star as the Bond villain. After Daniel Crag’s exit from the franchise, it was rumoured that Idris will star as the next Bond. “No, I’m not going to be James Bond,” Idris Elba told ITV London, confirming that he will not portray the title character. “Idris has had informal talks with the studio and he has been told there is a role in the next Bond film for him if he wants it,” a source informed.
