Idris has been a frontrunner to play the character after his impressive performance in the TV series Luther.
Speaking about the possibility of playing the iconic character last year, Idris said: 'I think it’s more about, "We just want to have a black guy play James Bond" rather than, "Idris Elba, the actor, play James Bond." That’s the part I’m like, "Ugh, come on."'

Richard has also been tipped to replace the current Bond since impressing audiences with his portrayal of steely diplomatic protection officer David Budd in BBC drama Bodyguard.
His bedroom antics with Home Secretary Julia Montague, played by Keeley Hawes, have also helped make him the bookies' favourite.
However, Richard was reluctant to confirm or deny that he was 'in talks' for the popular 007 role when he appeared on America's KTLA 5.

He admitted: 'It's really flattering. Although people make things up - but it is lovely to be involved in the conversation.'
The quip came after heightened reports that the Scottish star is set to be approached about the role by Barbara Broccoli, who has the final say on all Bond characters.
A source said: 'It's seriously looking like he [Madden] is going to get the job. Not only is he on top of Barbara's list, but she is preparing to offer the role.'
High spirits: Idris was every inch the proud father as he joined his daughter Isan, 17, on the red carpet, who served as this year's Golden Globe Ambassador (also pictured with fiancee Sabrina Dhowre)
Stunning: The teen - whose mother is Idris' ex-wife Hanne Norgaard - glittered in a bedazzled black tulle gown before she handed out trophies in the role formerly known as Miss Golden Globe
If confirmed, Richard's selection would end a year of speculation as to who will succeed screen star Daniel.

The teen - whose mother is Idris' ex-wife Hanne Norgaard - glittered in a bedazzled black tulle gown before she handed out trophies in the role formerly known as Miss Golden Globe.
'I told her to keep her back straight,' the British heartthrob joked to E! News ahead of the ceremony.
Smitten: Idris packed on the PDA with his fiancee, 30 who got engaged in February last year after 11 months of dating
Stunning: The beauty queen stunned in a floral strapless gown, which worked well with her vivacious curls
Dapper: Idris maintained his suave persona in a teal tuxedo, paired with slick black trousers and a white pocketsquare
Speaking about being given the role, Isan previously said: 'I feel honoured to hold this title and use this role to not only further educate people on the work of the HFPA, but also shine a light on issues that I care about.
'Mental health, specifically among African Americans and my peers in particular, is something I really want to be more vocal about.
'There's this perceived stigma and I've seen friends struggle. We need to empower young people to not be afraid to ask for help.'
