The star of "The Wire" as 007 was first proposed by fans a few years ago, but with Craig tapped for multiple pictures, it didn't seem like Elba would ever get a chance to even be considered for the role. However, it now appears that the idea — along with Elba's career — has picked up so much steam that the actor may have actually had meetings with Bond producers.

some things are not just possible - but sha! miracle fit happen, after all, a black man eventually ruled America

This political correctness BS bores me to death. Why should there be a 'black' James Bond? I would NEVER watch JB again if that happens. Oh hang on, maybe they should remake 'Shaft' with a white love-vendor. Somethings are just stupid!
