The internet is literally getting restless with each passing day and Barbara Broccoli is done giving multiple versions of the same answer that in a nutshell means ‘I am not telling you right now’. But that doesn’t stop the insiders from leaking things and the Internet from blowing them out of proportions. The fanfare around Henry Cavill and Idris Elba is an example.

Few names have been speculated of which, Idris and Henry are at the top followed by Jon Boyega and Tom Hardy.

Idris Elba as per GQ India doesn’t feel as hyped up as the audience to be considered or play the iconic British spy James Bond. He says that of course there is buzz around him and the question follows him wherever he goes across the globe. But he feels it is being him at this point and it won’t be something that will satisfy any goal for him if it happens.

“It is not a goal for my career. I don’t think that playing Bond will satisfy some of my personal goals. It will definitely satisfy the will of a nation. I’m not gonna lie, every corner of the world I go, and I’m talking about different cultures, they always go ‘Bond.’ And I feel it is beyond me at this junction. It’s beyond me. It’s not a question of, should I, do I, will I. It is what the will of the nation dictates sometimes,” Idris Elba said.
