Idris Elba has ruled himself out of the running to become the next James Bond, despite months of being the frontrunner to replace Daniel Craig.
The Luther actor, 50, reportedly told how he wants to stick to playing the tormented detective John Luther – and shut down any speculation of him playing 007.
He has told how he is pursuing his own projects, having recently confirmed a feature-length Luther film which comes out next month, and ruled himself out saying: “I’m not going to be that guy.”
