Idris Elba shares he’s interested to play the next James Bond but has not received any official offer for the role.

The British actor has been waiting for the 007 franchise to make a call for the role.

A source spilled to Globe, “Idris has spent the last 10-plus years being the media’s favourite choice to follow Daniel Craig’s run as James Bond.”

However, now the Bond role is “officially available and the next film is being prepared,” so the Hijack actor expresses frustration for taking it so long to get his desirable role.

Another source opened up that Idris has had a “million unofficial conversations about the job over the years but an official offer has never materialised, no matter how much public support he’s built up”.

Interestingly, the actor is “still eager for the role by posting a pic on social media showing him standing next to wax images of former Bond stars including Daniel, Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan,” claiming his wife made him do it.

“Idris still gets parts in big action movies all the time like Masters of the Universe. He’s not starving for exciting, high-paying work at all,” noted an insider.

Meanwhile, the source added that the actor is “tired of all the questions and speculations around his involvement in the franchise, both as a potential new 007 or as an intimidating supervillain opposite whatever younger actor gets the role”.

For now, Idris has “already made his case, and he’s going to let the chips fall where they may!” concluded an insider.
