Daniel Craig set to return as James Bond, but who will be next?
Recent reports confirm Daniel Craig will reprise his role of James Bond for a fifth time

It was recently reported that Daniel Craig will reprise his role of James Bond for a fifth time and to be honest, we are conflicted. Don’t get us wrong, Craig is an absolute bad-ass and brought a rough, more brooding twist on the classic character, but the latest installment of the franchise, Spectre, was just exhausting and awful.
Given that this will likely be Craig’s last go, there is much speculation on who will carry the torch moving forward. We at SludgeFeed would like to submit our vote for Idris Elba. While some might see him as too rough for the role (just bullshit), we believe he possesses three important factors that would enable him to knock it out of the park:

He’s fucking cool. And British.
These are two very important qualities when it comes to Bond. Elba is ample in both.

He has the right style.
There is no questioning it — this man rocks the shit out of a suit (just see the photo sourced from GQ). He would have no problem promoting top brands through this role (you’d be surprised how much designers pay to have their products and style lines featured in these films).
He can fuck someone up.
The man is stacked. He will be able to continue the trend of physically enforcing Bonds (something we believe is here to stay). On top of that, he’s played some pretty bad ass characters in the past — Heimdall in the Thor/Avengers series, for example.
All-in-all, we believe Idris Elba is primed to takeover the coveted role of James Bond. He’s just too god damn cool not to be considered.
