Actor Idris Elba says he's going to stick with being the tormented detective John Luther -- not James Bond.
Speaking Tuesday to the World Government Summit in Dubai, Elba brought up the persistent discussions about him taking over as Ian Fleming's famed British spy. Those had grown louder after Daniel Craig's demise as Bond in the 25th film in the franchise called "No Time to Die."
He added: "You know, a lot of people talk about another character that begins with `J' and ends with `B,' but I'm not going to be that guy. I'm going to be John Luther. That's who I am." While on stage, Elba discussed an upcoming film he's working on with the American actor and wrestler John Cena called "The Heads of State."
During his talk, Elba urged nations to invest more in creative industries, saying it can provide an economic engine that provides jobs to their youth. In particular, he said creative jobs could greatly help countries in Africa.
