Actors Idris Elba sounded off in a recent interview, saying that an actor doesn’t necessarily have to be gay to play a gay character.

British actor Idris Elba has suggested that the next person to play James Bond ‘could be a black woman’ amid fan-driven speculation that he should be considered for the famed role.

James Bond should be played by a woman, Theresa May has said, hailing the new female Doctor Who as a victory for “girl power”.

Roger Moore, the suavely insouciant star of seven James Bond films, has died in Switzerland. He was 89.

The next James Bond should be a lesbian, says the Guardian. (Which, perhaps not uncoincidentally, has just posted its largest-ever losses).

In the wake of tragic mass shootings or terrorist attacks like the one perpetrated Sunday morning in Orlando, Hollywood celebrities are often the first to call for gun control measures. Yet Hollywood conveniently forgets that the movie business is itself at least partly — and probably largely — responsible for the glorification of gun use in American culture.

It took the combination of James Bond and Charlie Brown to save the box office after a disastrous few weekends of flops. Both “Spectre” and “The Peanuts Movie” reinvigorated moviegoers who turned out in droves to check out the new fare, including buzzy limited-release titles like “Spotlight.”

James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore has again waded into public controversy by insisting that 007 could never be portrayed as a gay man – or be played by a woman – on the simple basis that “wasn’t what Ian Fleming wrote”.

In a new interview, actor Daniel Craig shuts down any contention that James Bond is anything but a one-dimensional misogynist.

Daniel Craig just finished a grueling, injury-plagued eight-month-long shoot on Spectre, the actor’s fourth outing as secret agent James Bond – so perhaps he could be forgiven for suggesting that he would rather kill himself than star in another 007 movie.

The final trailer for the new 007 film Spectre was released online Friday.

Former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan is just as in-the-dark as anyone else when it comes to predicting who will take over the role of iconic British secret agent James Bond when Daniel Craig hangs up the tux.

The actor who plays a character that is generally on the right side of the ruse might have been deceived out of a large sum of money. Two months ago, James Bond actor Daniel Craig gave nearly $50 thousand to a super

Fresh off an apology for describing black actor Idris Elba as “too street” to play James Bond, franchise author Anthony Horowitz announced this week how he intends to slowly drag the fictional British spy into the 21st Century’s cultural cesspool.

On Wednesday, new James Bond author Anthony Horowitz told The Daily Mail (UK) that he didn’t think Idris Elba, star of Luther and The Wire, would be a good fit for Bond.

The next James Bond definitely has to be black and he definitely has to be played by Idris Elba (The Wire; Luther). Anyone who thinks to diverge even slightly from this now officially accepted view, to be held by everyone everywhere

In today’s sensitive political landscape, Daniel Craig’s James Bond has thrived as a beta male. While Craig hopes to leave the role less “misogynistic,” Idris Elba, a fan favorite to succeed as the first black 007, is “too street” to play the character, according to franchise author Anthony Horowitz.

The world will soon meet the first mainstream black James Bond, but the man portraying 007 will not be actor Idris Elba, who has long been rumored as a possible candidate for the role.

The first extended trailer for James Bond’s next outing hit the Internet on Wednesday.

Before Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman was sharing a bed with Daniel Craig in the upcoming Bond film Spectre, the woman grew up in one of the most volatile regions of Mexico, and her brother says she’s lucky she got out.

Dame Judi Dench, who is best known for her role as M in the later James Bond films, announced this week she may be getting a tattoo to celebrate her next birthday.
