The 'Luther' star neither confirmed nor denied the rumours, but said that everywhere he goes, people ask him if he would play the next Bond, the Daily Express reported.

Elba said that it is actually a good rumour, as it is a great character and everyone wants to drive around in fast cars with nice suits.
