These stereotypes of white healthy good looking males is just sending out the wrong message. maybe a bame disabled transvestite would send out that all important inclusivitivity message. Of course Luther could play a gay bond.

Have you forgotten Roger Moore?

My favourite Bond, but not necessarily the best, that would be Daniel Craig, with Connery being the worst. I think Ryan Reynolds could be a great Bond in the Roger Moore style. The world needs more fun.

Somebody who is British and has played different roles seems to figure in choices. Roger Moore getting it surprised me. They don't seem to have to be able to remove their shirt. Somebody like Cumberbatch might even figure.

Bond always epitomised an idealised view of a suave, sophisticated English gentleman - shaken but not stirred. Sadly, perhaps a black man of African origin is now representative of Englishness. Welcome to 21st century Britain!

Welcome to 21st century multicultural Britain.
The 'white' population of Britain is about 87%. That means the other 13% are a different ethnicity.
Therefore, about 1 in 7 James Bonds should be a different ethnicity than white.
How many white James Bonds has there been so far?

Seven actors in total have portrayed Bond in film. Following Connery's portrayal, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig have assumed the role.​

Well, well! It's about time a non-white actor played James Bond in a multicultural 21st century.

In You Only Live Twice, Ian Fleming named Bond’s parents as Andrew Bond, who hailed from Glencoe in Scotland; and Monique Delacroix, who came from Vaud in Switzerland.

Maybe Fiction will dictate fact, especially in the bond movies:

MI5 and MI6 have 'glaring lack' of ethnic minority and female staff at senior levels, report reveals
