Actor Daniel Craig Believes James Bond Should Be Black

 
By Essence · Updated October 29, 2020

Actor Daniel Craig is hinting that the next James Bond could be a Black man. In fact, he said President-elect Barack Obama’s win signals that America is ready to accept a new change in 007. In an interview with the London Telegraph, Craig said: “I think the role could easily be played by a Black actor, because the character created by Ian Fleming in the fifties has undergone a great deal of evolution and continues to be updated.”
