The ‘Gringo’ actor is famed for his role as an MI5 officer on the British drama series ‘Spooks’ and Martin Luther King Jr. in the 2014 biographical drama film ‘Selma’.

He once spoke on becoming the first black James Bond and the significance of him playing the role.

“The significance of someone like me playing a role like James Bond is not lost on me. It is going to be something that will expand horizons,” he had said.

“One of the most beautiful things I have seen in America on Halloween is white kids running around in Black Panther costumes.”

“I did not have a superhero to identify with growing up on a council estate in Islington. It was all Superman. That these things are very important is not lost on me.”
