Idris Elba doesn’t think he’ll win the race to play James Bond.
The British actor, 50, has been a fan-favorite choice to play the super spy in recent years.
However, due to the racial recoil he’s received about the possible role, Elba’s speculative casting has left a bad taste in his mouth.
The “Luther” actor recently sat down with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes for an episode of their “SmartLess” podcast, where he said he was “super complimented” by the Bond rumors.
