than necessarily wanting a spy who is Afro-Anglo in a separate spy film. (is Afro-Anglo the proper classification for a person of African decent who lives in or is from the UK?)

It's probably the same sentiment that came up with Donald Glover's name was mentioned as a potential actor to be Spiderman. The desire is more to see a character with a rich cultural history played by a non-white actor. A way to be culturally subversive.

I don't think a spy movie with a 'Black' spy film would really interesting to folks. That show with Nicole Beharie and Boris Kodjoe didn't go anywhere. Unless the idea was really brilliant, I couldn't see a movie being successful. I would like to be wrong tho.
