This isn't the first time that Elba has addressed the rumours. Last summer, he posted a selfie alongside an obvious nod to 007's iconic line: “The name's Bond, James Bond.” He wrote, “My name's Elba, Idris Elba.”
Apart from Elba, the other names that have been suggested to play the next James Bond include Tom Hiddleston, Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy and others.
