I mean, there are well dressed British black men out there. It’s not like England is all white people. It was controversial. That Daniel Craig was the first blond James Bond.

I just like Idris, I think he is a good actor. He can play the tough guy and can be a charmer. He would be perfect.

I know there are other black actors in the UK and Ireland and would be perfectly happy with them.

Idris played Luther which sold me on him playing Bond.

you do not fix what aint broken.

James Bond is white. Shaft is black. Jack Reacher/Ethan Hunt is Tom Cruise. Robert Mcall (the movie) is Denzel Washington. to have anyone else in those roles idon't work.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher was a joke. Alan Ritchson is a much better, much more accurate, portrayal IMO.

Shift is only a black character because he’s a cop looking out for black neighborhoods. England isn’t a white country. In fact 007 is just a code name. James Bond may not even be his real name because he’s w secret agent.

Tom Cruises totally miscast as Jack Reacher. The guy in the Reacher series on Prime is truer to the character as it was originally written.

James bond in the books he is a white scot who is a dark brooding man who drinks a lot and sleeps around. Bet they let a Irishman, British guy and a Australian play him. He was never black because closed minded people wouldn't except it. The same people who probably couldn't stand a black woman playing 007.

doesn't matter what the book says. There have been x amount of movies. He is white. Why is that an issue?

hell they ruined the karate kid so why not Bond.

Really good deal for the Flyers. About 500-700K less than I thought. Good job GM Briere.

I don’t think it really matters what color Jack Reacher is. To me he could totally be played by a black guy. He just needs to be a huge intimidating looking America guy. He was a blond white guy in the books, but doesn’t really seem critical to the character. Cruise is like 5’6” and too old.

its not about cruise and if he should have got the role to begin with. that's a diff topic

If they had a black actor take over as jack reacher in the next movie it wont work imo. Just like if they had a white guy play robert mccall it wont work.

PERFECT!

2 years and under 3m. More "Prove it get paid", less "pay for hope".
