Steve McQueen rumoured to direct?

Maybe there's a chance Fassbender could be in it (as Bond or more likely the villain)

If Steve is brought in for the franchise it could also open a door for the brilliant John Boyega, who previously said he would only consider taking the part if Steve was involved."

This role and I'm sorry I have to say this, but the role of James BOND is not meant to be for a Black Actor anymore than if I remade the movie "SHAFT" using a white actor in the role of "SHAFT"

reply

Boyega won't ever be Bond. and they won't do a black Bond anyway (or a female Bond)

but a black director , a black M (Idris), etc. yes by all means

reply

I'd have no problem with a black M. M's a position/job role, not a defined human being. We've already had different Ms that obviously weren't meant to be the same character; a black person taking the position is absolutely credible.
