Dris Elba Bond Next
The Daily Beast reports that an email from Pascal to the distributor of the Bond films simply says, "Idris should be the next bond."
The 42-year-old English actor best known for his role as drug kingpin Stringer Bell on HBO's "The Wire" has been rumored to be in the running for years.
Elba said earlier this year that if offered a chance to play 007, he'd take it.
