The Obama impact: Will a ‘Black’ James Bond able to carry on the 007 magic?

With Obama’s victory in the US presidential election, there is lot for the people around the world to witness – Change. Yes, that’s true. Now here comes out Daniel Craig in favor of a Bond of color, saying this week’s historic presidential election signals an opportunity:

After Barack Obama’s victory I think we might have reached the moment for a colored 007 [editor’s note - Um, what?]. I think the role could easily be played by a black actor because the character created by Ian Fleming in the ’50s has undergone a great deal of evolution and continues to be updated.

Well, “A black James Bond?”, many may scoff. However, with the change in US and Obama’s victory epitomizing the changed mindset, this does not seem beyond imagination. What do you say?

Well, there was a debate a few years back that can a Spiderman be of Asian origin given the huge audience Hollywood has in Asia. If a black James Bond has the ability to sell itself beyond its white avatar, then why not? But I don’t think the world would accept this.
