Since the image of James Bond was first spotted on a beak-spouted jug c. 1802–1575 B.C., old white guys have given interviews to the Daily Mail wherein they state the character should be played by a straight white guy exclusively. This time: Roger Moore.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Anthony Horowitz, the novelist most recently selected to add a book to the James Bond canon, spoke about why he thinks Idris Elba wouldn’t accurately inhabit the character. “It’s not a color issue,” he asserted immediately. Hmm—sounds like his story probably checks out, let’s see.

Idris Elba appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to (among other things, I'm sure) re-clear the air about, uh, that photo of him. His pants? I mean—well, the photo of what was in his pants. You know? That photo.

Ben Kingsley will voice Bagheera in Disney's new live-action version of The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau. He joins Idris Elba, who will voice Shere Khan, and Scarlett Johansson, who will voice Kaa. The adaptation, at the very least, sounds great.
