The human being becomes the beast in some instances.
But when you watch the film, it's a bit more than that. "Calling the lion a beast is to evoke something into the audience. "I think 'Beast' does refer to the massive pot of ingredients of all these themes that are thrown in," Elba told SYFY WIRE ahead of the movie's theatrical bow this past weekend. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur ( Everest, Adrift), the film also stars Iyana Halley ( This Is Us), Leah Jeffries ( Percy Jackson and the Olympians), and Sharlto Copley ( District 9). I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”Įlba can currently be seen in Beast, where he goes head-to-head with a massive lion hellbent on avenging the death of its pride. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. “Nobody’s in the running,” she explained. Speaking with Deadlineback in June of this year, longtime Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli revealed that no one has been seriously considered to replace Craig just yet. The most recent era of 007 headlined by Daniel Craig closed out last year with the release of No Time to Die, which brought in over $770 million worldwide. But most times now I tend not to talk about it." Every now and then I just tease them, but every now and then I'll give them some philosophy on why I don't want to do it or why it's a rumor. "And people try to use it as clickbait like, 'What's he gonna say this time?' I try to say the same things. "I just tell people, 'Aw, don't ask me that.' Because a lot of times it's really lazy journalism," Elba said (via Comic Book Resources). During a recent appearance on the Jemele Hill Is Unbotheredpodcast, the actor plainly stated that he has "no more answers" with regards to a casting rumor that's been around for close to two decades.
Broccoli specifically shared that Elba has been “ part of the conversation” for years.Elba, Idris Elba, is pretty sick and tired of people asking him if he's going to be playing the next James Bond. It’s about a whole rethink about where we’re going,” Broccoli said, as reports speculated Elba, Hardy, Henry Cavill, and “Euphoria” star Elordi were on the shortlist for the role. Broccoli said that deciding who should be the next Bond is a “ big decision” for the direction of the franchise, now owned by Amazon since the conglomerate purchased MGM. However, the film is at least two years away, with other names like Regé-Jean Page, Tom Hardy, and Jacob Elordi rumored to be in the mix. Producer Barbara Broccoli previously stated that the next Bond could be any ethnicity or race but distinctly male and British. There’s an allure to the idea of me being the first Black man to play that character?” “Do you think that there’s a nostalgia - and be honest, there’s a nostalgia to the idea. “Let me throw the question out to you guys: If you are of the agreement that you think that I should play it, can you ask yourselves why and really answer why you think I should play it?” Elba stated. In short, Elba questioned his fellow podcast guests and hosts Paul Rivera and Maverick Carter. “And that - job done, because the truth is, you know, a lot of people are really seeing Idris playing Bond as the ‘alternative Bond.’ And as long as that alternative is existing, that’s great for the growth of fucking casting.” “I’m not that guy, but in everyone’s world I might be,” Elba added.
