As Cindy explained earlier, the author of the next James Bond novel, Anthony Horowitz, doesn’t think Idris Elba would be a suitable choice to play the next bond because he is, uh, “too street.” He doesn’t think Elba is “suave” enough because Horowitz has a skull crammed full of feces.

But rapper Azealia Banks thinks she knows the real reason why Idris Elba could never be cast as Bond, and you know what? She’s probably not wrong.

Idris is too much man to play bond anyway. If idris is the next bond then all the bonds after that have to be sexy and ULTRA MASCULINE.

Black men are super duper masculine and following up Idris with some other whatever looking white man for bond is gonna be hard.

So they don't want him in cause it's gonna kill all competition. A white actor simply cannot be bond after idris has. No one will care.

He would just be too good and they wouldn't EVER find anyone better.

Once bond goes black, he can't go back. 😂

If idris doesn't get the part it will be 100% be due to white male insecurity in hollywood. He's perfect for it.

I am fairly certain she’s right that it would be incredibly hard to follow Idris Elba with someone like Damian Lewis, James McAvoy or Michael Fassbender. They’re great actors and all, but they would probably pale in comparison (see what I did there? Clever, right? No? OK, I’ll go back to talking about Suits then.)
