Idris Elba squashed any speculation that he could be the next James Bond. The actor spoke about the role of 007 while promoting his new movie, "Luther: The Fallen Sun."
When he was asked about his upcoming film based on the British series "Luther," Elba took himself out of the running to play 007.
"It’s very dark," Elba said of the series. "We’ve been working on the television show for about 10 years, and so the natural ambition is to take it to the big screen, and so we’re here with the first movie."
