Not that it might matter much for film purposes, but according to his wikipedia page, he voiced Bond in the audiobook of last year's Trigger Mortis. Hardy is great and Hiddleston is cool but Oyelowo is more interesting out those 3 and yes that's based partly on race for me, but he's not chopped liver compared to those other guys.

No matter what names get thrown out there, I would advocate for "affirmative action" for this casting, for any racial minority, or heck, maybe a woman too. I'd be team Idris Elba too and challenge the writers to come up with an interesting, aging, bond; I mean if it's ok for Affleck to do his version of Batman and all, why not?

But that's my 2 cents no one asked for. I'd wager it on the Bond producers going young for sure, and likely white as usual.
