Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Americans unhappy after finding out Mohamad Safa’s rumours of Idris Alba being the new James Bond is fake news. (Read More Here).
This week, the Daily Star went a step too far and fabricated a story about Director Antoine Fuqua having chatted to Barbara Broccoli about the prospect of Elba taking over the role (despite Craig being confirmed for Bond 25 in 2019).
Fuqua was said to have mentioned Elba in conversation. “You need a guy with a physically strong presence. Idris has that,” was how the Star quotes what the Fuqua “pal” said the director had told Broccoli.
But a rep for Fuqua threw cold water on the story today. “He never had a conversation with Barbara about the franchise or about any casting. It’s all made up stuff. Not sure how it got started,” the rep told The Hollywood Reporter.
Idris Elba will never play James Bond. End of story.
