Idris Elba has played some world-renowned characters. But there is one role that fans have been asking Elba to take on for years — the role of the infamous spy James Bond.
Elba has long been rumored to take over the role after Daniel Craig, but he told "CBS Mornings" that while he would "heavily consider" the role, it does not appear to be in the cards.
"You know, it's one of those rumors that I'm proud to be considered, you know, a contender for Bond, of course. There's like, it's an incredible compliment to me. But as a career choice, it's not one that I've pursued," he said. "I've never really pursued this rumor, you know. Listen, if it was offered to me, I would heavily consider it. But I don't think it will be. It's not in the cards."
