The first black 007 is confirmed? "Heimdall" Elba responds: Don't believe the rumors

According to foreign media reports, the famous British black actor Idris Elba recently responded tactfully on social media to rumors that he will play the next 007.

Yesterday, Elba made a tactful response through his personal Twitter account. In the caption of a selfie, Elba imitated the classic 007 line and wrote: "I am Elba, Idris Elba". A few hours later, he posted again "Don't believe the rumors" to put out the fire.

Elba, 45, is a well-known British celebrity and was once voted the second sexiest man in the world by People magazine. Elba started his career on the small screen, and his representative works include TV series such as The Wire and Luther. In recent years, he has also played major roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as Thor and Pacific Rim. In 2016, Elba was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire by the British royal family for his contribution to the field of drama.

Daniel Craig will officially bid farewell to 007 after Bond 25, and Sony will also speed up the pace of finding candidates. In addition to Elba, who has the highest voice, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Aidan Turner and others are also on the list of candidates.
