British actor Idris Elba is still in the running for the role of James Bond as the search for Daniel Craig’s replacement hots up, so says the executive producer of the 007 franchise Barbara Broccoli.
Speaking to Deadline on Friday, Barbara Broccoli, 61, said that the actor, 49, is ‘part of the conversation’ to play the role.
She did add however that she wouldn’t ‘think’ or ‘talk’ about anybody else until ‘No Time to Die has had its run and Daniel has been able to…reap the benefits’.

Barbara said: ‘Well, we know Idris, we’re friends with him, and he’s a magnificent actor.
‘And, you know, it’s been part of the conversation, but it’s always difficult to have the conversation when you have someone in the seat.
‘I think we have decided that until No Time to Die has had its run and Daniel has been able to – well, we’ve all been able to savour, reap the benefits of Daniel’s wonderful tenure, we’re not gonna think about, or talk about anybody else.’
