He would have been a good candidate
Elba, the son of working-class immigrants from Sierra Leone, is one of the top 20 highest-grossing actors. He has won awards left right and center for his roles in film and TV.
No hurry to make a decision
Barbara Broccoli, the James Bond producer, told Deadline's Crew Call podcast that any announcement of the new James Bond is a way off.
Still thinking
"We're reinventing who he [007] is, and that takes time," she said. "There isn't a script and we can't come up with one until we decide how we're going to approach the next film."
So who is the favourite now?
It's anyone's guess but with names like Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Richard Madden and Cillian Murphy in the race, one thing is for sure the new Bond will not be a disappointment.
A final film for Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig had celebrated his final James Bond premiere in a fashionable pink suit jacket. 'No Time To Die' was the 25th movie in the series.
7 actors, 26 movies, 58 years
Some say Daniel Craig is the 'best' Bond ever, although many greats have taken on the role and each has created the character in their own way.
A total of four films for Craig and Pierce Brosnan
Craig has appeared in four James Bond films, and each has been linked to a dark past that Bond is carrying around with him.
