Daniel Craig, an outspoken Barack Obama supporter despite not being a U.S. citizen, thinks it might be time for a black James Bond. According to The Scoop:
Craig, the first blond Bond, told the British press, “After Barack Obama’s victory, I think we might have reached the moment for a coloured 007.
“I think the role could easily be played by a black actor, because the character created by Ian Fleming in the ’50s has undergone a great deal of evolution and continues to be updated,” he said. “I’ve always been a fan of Obama. The political ideas that have emerged from his speeches seem to me to be genuine.”
Look, I’m as open minded as the next guy, but what the hell is Daniel Craig talking about? James Bond isn’t black. It’s about as simple as that. You can’t just go around replacing characters to be progressive. It’d be like having Shaft played by an overweight Mexican woman. What’s that? Making a movie about He-Man? Well let’s go ahead and cast an Asian guy. Or better yet, how about this watermelon?

Don Cheadle will probably get that role too.
michaeldenmark | November 7, 2008 at 6:17 pm
FIRST!!!!! GAHAHAHAH!
BLAAHBHAHBHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
h | November 7, 2008 at 6:17 pm
yeah and it is also time for a white Shaft, seriiously piss off.
Eat Fish | November 7, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I, for one, would love to see a black Bond.

Great idea.
Too bad people are still closet racists!

sounds like he was just really excited for obama, which i can relate to! cause i got a crush on OBAMA Bama bama…
thatone | November 7, 2008 at 6:23 pm
saying “coloured” instead of “colored” doesn’t make it right!
personally i’d like to see a latina woman playing the hulk. that shit would be realistic.
hnnssy25 | November 7, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I think it is time for a black bond. I would see the movie besides I don’t think the Bond character can be compared to Shaft? who wears an afro? Bond is beyond being “white” he is international so why typecast him as only a white man? I guess the Bond ladies were supposed to always be white also? times have changed my friends maybe in time your ignorance will too.
Rough Daddy | November 7, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I can see a black james bond, as long as he doesnt have Q put some “rims” on the new Aston Martin…ill be fine!
supersex | November 7, 2008 at 6:37 pm
don’t go black
i am sick of this shit blacks
jumping around the streets like the zoo open it’s doors
IT_Bag | November 7, 2008 at 6:37 pm
So what if James Bond isn’t black… neither is Barack Obama.
Dane | November 7, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Lemme guess, Will Smith as the new Bond?
Joseph | November 7, 2008 at 6:41 pm
This is the same idiot that said James Bond was/is ready for a gay scene. Douche
10pound | November 7, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Fuck off Fish…a nigger 007 is a cool idea
Aaron | November 7, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Kinda wierd to start naming your Bond successor when you’ve only done two bond films.
Bond is of course, a former royal navy tough guy…
On a similar note, 10 years ago I hoped that they would cast Batman with Wesley Snipes. After the previous batman movies, I thought he had the necessary gravitas.
Binky | November 7, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Well let’s hope Obama is genuine Danny.
Or else USA is still Double-O screwed.
(Like -does he know Africa is a continent ? Could you maybe get ’60 Minutes’ working on that one America ? Could be a scoop there Mike Wallace….
Some of us foreigners are beginning to wonder what goes on down there)
Jenny Craig | November 7, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Just because Obama’s mom had a severe case of jungle fever doesn’t make her or her son black. What if he had come out looking like Matt Damon? Would he still represent “change?” His cabinet is full of the same Zionist-communists as Bush’s cabinet.
hollywood_hillbilly | November 7, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Douchie, the only “rims” you are familiar with are the ones your trace with your tounge around random male anus.
hotness | November 7, 2008 at 6:55 pm
mmmmm Daniel Craig! and hes for Obama? double mmmmmmmm!
hotness | November 7, 2008 at 6:56 pm
haha hollywood_hillbilly :P
Rough Daddy | November 7, 2008 at 6:58 pm
hahaha sure cross dresser!!!
Rough Daddy | November 7, 2008 at 7:00 pm
youre like a broken record backwood boy! same intelligible crap different day…
Nonsuch | November 7, 2008 at 7:05 pm
So you can change hair color, nationality (Scots vs. English), height, age…but not skin color? WTF?
Mugato | November 7, 2008 at 7:11 pm
I think there should be a white Weezie Jefferson.
Jenna | November 7, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Pierce Brosnan was the hottest 007. Who is think ugly big eared monkey??

SuperFish Writer, you racist faguette! Asian’s can MOST certainly be He-Man!!! By the Power of Gray Skull!!!! Asians HAVE THE POWERRRRRRR! (But I agree with you on Daniel Craig’s comments. Black’s cannot be James Bond, just ain’t right).
yos | November 7, 2008 at 7:19 pm
The Superficial writer is not funny, and often unnecessarily offensive.
Lloyd Willingham III | November 7, 2008 at 7:20 pm
That’s very racist and sexist of Daniel Craig. I think the next James Bond should be an Eskimo woman. How about a midget Congolese transvestite?
frankinfish | November 7, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I Agree Completely with Fish on this….
You don’t go changing things like that just for the hell of it!
What next an Asian Blade? Mexican Wolverine?
The ethnicity is a part of the character
Rough Daddy | November 7, 2008 at 7:23 pm
The best James Bond ever was George Lazendy “on her majesty’s secret service”
Bob | November 7, 2008 at 7:31 pm
#10.’saying “coloured” instead of “colored” doesn’t make it right’
Although, it does make it proper English spelling.
Do you know what I’m saying? (American translation “y’all no wat I say’in?)
At first, years back, the idea of Daniel Craig playing Bond was strange and out of ‘Bond’ stereotype. His opinion seems fair. I wouldn’t mind a black Bond at all.
prehensel | November 7, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Tracy Morgan called this a long time ago: http://www.hulu.com/watch/18874/saturday-night-live-bond-lamont-bond
Bond…Lamont Bond
The Observer | November 7, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Man is it refreshing to hear the admittedly liberal Superficial Writer make some racial sense!
Replacing whoever is in the majority is the exact opposite of equality . When are the lefties going to understand that white people count, too? Like he said, we don’t hear about replacing black roles with white people, do we? Of course not, because the current ‘accepted’ mindset is the enemy of equality and diversity.
This is the part where you call me racist.
DC | November 7, 2008 at 7:53 pm
1st WTF: black james bond
2nd WTF: somebody who claims to be enlightened still calling someone “colored”
3rd WTF: sissy unnecessary U’s
Binary | November 7, 2008 at 7:55 pm
God knows they wouldn’t turn Nick Fury from white to black…
Oh wait…
blugardenia | November 7, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Yeah, the fact that he said “colored” just killed me. Hello!
MrChips | November 7, 2008 at 8:01 pm
#28, Jenna, you hit the nail on the head. I always thought Craig looks like a blond chimpanzee. Check out that receding forehead. What a fucking retard. Actors should never open their mouths outside of a script. 99 times out of 100 they just let out crap. Sure, a black James Bond. Why not a midget? Or a faggot? Sorry, homosexual. No, wait. A transgendered woman. This is the douchebaggery that gives political correctness a bad name. Why can’t these assholes make up a new cool black character instead of trying to rewrite old white ones.
obomba | November 7, 2008 at 8:08 pm
I don’t think there should be a black bond…
There should be a black and white bond!!! hehehehe one black and one white…
Hunter | November 7, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Yeah, definitely not trying to be racist here, but the only way that movie would sell is if the movie premiered exclusively in London, where African Americans with an English accent is just like anything else…
Sauron | November 7, 2008 at 8:10 pm
I’d expect Richard Simons to be the next Bond.
sammy23 | November 7, 2008 at 8:22 pm
all B.S. … im no racist but just stick to the plan.. all james bond white.. all shafts black.. simple.. james bond been white since i was born..jeez..
jake | November 7, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I think it would be cool to have a Black Bond. I think Will Smith could pull it off.
Donovan | November 7, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Vote no to a black 007! =)
Matt A. | November 7, 2008 at 8:42 pm
It could be done…in the books they make it fairly clear that there have been a succession of Bonds. James Bond is the name always assigned to Agent 007, no matter who he is. So, we could very well see a brutha Bond.
Insatiable Peter | November 7, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Craig sounds ungrateful. Fuck, I’ll be James Bond. How’s that? Why has everyone become so fucking retarded? Obama is not coming to your house to play XBox. He’s not going to babysit your kids. Obama doesn’t give a fuck about you. He’s one man already being tested by Russia and being reprimanded by Israel. If half the fucking country blows up, don’t be surprised.
Balls McCoy | November 7, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Liberals and Hollywood elites have made the black man their pets. Nothing but a novelty. If you could miniaturize a black man, Paris Hilton would be carrying one around wherever she goes but good lord knows how many times she’s locked her door on a street corner.
