Daniel Craig has been James Bond for quite some time now, prompting a lot of people to ask who could be in line to replace him at the suave secret agent, and in a recent interview with the Daily Mail producer Barbara Broccoli had this to say when asked if fans could expect to see a black or a female 007 next:

"These films tend to reflect the times so we always try to push the envelope a little bit. Anything is possible. Right now it's Daniel Craig, and I'm very happy with Daniel Craig, but who knows what the future will bring?"

Barbara, the daughter of Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli, who turned Ian Fleming's books into the film franchise we all know and love today, has already updated Bond once, going from the smooth, dark-haired, ladykiller Bonds like Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Sean Connery to the rougher, more violent, blonde-haired Daniel Craig.

Currently James Norton is a hot pick for the next Bond, but maybe we'll get someone like Idris Elba instead. Who would you pick to play Bond, if you could choose anyone?
