Idris Elba Says "No" To Being New James Bond

In the minds of many, expectations are Idris Elba would take the challenge to star as the character James Bond 007 in replacement of departing Daniel Craig, that is no where going to happen. 

"The Dark Tower" star actor was amongst favourites tipped to take up the role after Daniel Craig contract runs, but he is not having that offer and would not hide his mind over it. 

Idris was approached by a British reporter at the premiering of his new movie Yardie on Monday night and asked him "if she was looking the next 007?" and the answer she got was straight blunt one as he responded saying "No". 

That was not the first time the 45-year-old actor would come out to dismissed an cinema-goers expectation of him being cast as next James bond. 

He once tweeted after rumour spread that he has been tipped for the role saying "Don't believe the HYPE". 

meanwhile, search for Daniel's replacement after next installation is on going because the franchise lead actor's interest in the role has wane, he even was once reported as saying he would rather cut off his wrist than take the role before he later agreed to be cast once again and for the last time.
