It's Elba or Cavill for me but can someone explain what "street" means as an adjective?

I always though Henry Cavill should be the next James Bond. They would be his films in between his Superman roles.



But then again, I'd rather have him as the greatest secret agent in the world....Sterling Archer

he is also way too [frick]ing old, he is already 42, we don't need a bond who starts out at 45

The only thing worse than his comment is the imminent defense of it.

Lol. This is 2015, isnt it?

Cavill would be the most uncharismatic Bond ever.

Where is Scorpion with his sarcastically patronizing comments about being Black?

It's funny when people day Elba is too old. He's 42 y but ththe dude looks great for his age. Affleck is 43, RDJ is 50. Age isn't as much of a factor as it used to be. Elba plays physical roles like Luther. He's capable.
And also:

Ladies love Idris lol

"For me, Idris Elba is a bit too rough to play the part."



Seeing as he didn't even list one "better black actor", I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the worst about him.

You have obviously not seen Man from Uncle with a comment like that

@SageMode

Yeah and also Cavill will have the benefit of not having to abandon his accent in this case.

Ironically, this guy's response was the most politically correct way you could word "I don't want a black Bond." Yet instead of just saying that, he digs a deeper hole.

How is someone a terrific actor yet too street? This isn't Michael K. Williams we're talking about.

Bond isn't black...He's been a white male for 60+ years. Ian Fleming commissioned an artist in the 60s to sketch what Bond looked like and he looked like Clive Owen does today. Bond was never a code name, that's 100% confirmed.

I have no issue with a black 007, but their name won't be James Bond. Why not create a new character like 004 that's black and could work alongside Bond or have their own adventures, why mess with established back story for no other reason than because...

@MexicanSuperman - Dude this is the guy that should play the next Bond and one can argue that this is not the perfect match for this role!

Sux it haters!

@YeezusWept

Every time someone uses "PC" to describe a change in ethnicity for a character they're basically saying, "The only reason he/she got the job is because they're Black". It's like using "Affirmative Action hire" to discredit a minority's competency and qualifications for a job.
