The Skyfall Bond Girl – who is set to star with The Wire actor in Mandela: The Long Walk To Freedom – confirmed that he met with movie chiefs to discuss becoming the first black 007 when Daniel Craig stepped down.

She said: “I didn’t realise that there was this talk and then I did a film with Idris and he said that he met (Bond producer) Barbara Broccoli and that it does seem like there is a possibility in the future that there could very well be a black James Bond.
