As James Bond bosses have started looking for a new star and director for Bond 25, Steven Spielberg believes he should be black and sees Idris Elba as the perfect MI6 agent 007.

With Daniel Craig not having committed to Bond 25 and director Sam Mendes, ruling himself out of a return,  Spielberg’s endorsement of Elba comes amid speculation over who should be the next Bond. The names including James Norton, Aidan Turner and Tom Hiddleston.

According to express.co.uk Et and Jurassic Park said: “I am a huge Bond fan. I would love to see a Bond of colour. That would be my first choice. I think Idris would be my first choice of Bond if Daniel decides not to come back.”

Spielberg added: “I called Cubby Broccoli twice. And after Jaws, which was a huge phenomenal success, I thought hey, people are giving me final cut now and offering me all kinds of movies, and the first movie I wanted to make was a Bond film. I offered Cubby my services and he didn’t think I was right for the part.“
