Good news for the fans of James Bond: the next 007 movie, Bond 25, has already got a release date, 2019. And it’s widely assumed that Daniel Craig will be returning to the role one last time. There were rumours that next James Bond will play Idris Elba but Craig made a return, so Mr Elba is glad for the colleague who is more experienced as 007 agent.

While casting a possible new Mr Bond, Idris Elba became a frontrunner after being name-dropped by Amy Pascal in the Sony email leaks and has been at the top of the bookies’ odds ever since.
