It is no secret that the victory of U.S. President elect Barrack Obama has inspired a lot of groups to take on more cameo roles and apparently show business is not one that is to be left out. Barely some weeks after the Obama victory, people are now buzzing on perhaps pointing towards a “black” James Bond, coming out perhaps from the raves and rants of the new movie “Quantum of Solace” which just recently hit the box office starring Daniel Craig.
It has been said that Will Smith has the inside track of being the first black James Bond although another actor, Jamie Foxx has openly declared that it would be an honor for him to be the first black Bond.
Let us assess both actors:
Will Smith. Without a doubt, Smith has proven his legacy in all film genres. His roles in various films that have become hit starting from Men in Black, I-Robot and I am Legend are perhaps one reason why this sexy star is being groomed as a perfect fit for the role. Audience impact, Smith obviously has it and if he should be the Black Bond, expect producers to be counting the green.
Jamie Foxx. Jamie Foxx has been aggressive through the years and he has certainly come into his own. But as far as fan impact is concerned, we all know that Smith still has a huge lead against him. Perhaps it is not yet time for Foxx to dream of being the first black James Bond although anything can happen especially when budget starts talking.
Of the two, it is obvious that if audience impact is to be counted, Will Smith is definitely it.
