Indeed.
Then I strongly suggest you watch some if the movies he's been in. Children of men, serenity, 12 years a slave just to name a few. Like I said in the other thread, Chi's gravitas as a great actor and his physical presence transcends such concerns.

I am happy if Blofeld does not return or they at least do a creative twist. Maybe Evangeline Stephanie Blofeld Murdock as the main villain ... ? Played by Helen Mirren and not revealed until near the end (when Eve or someone learns her maiden name), but her head henchman - acting as the main villain for most of the film - being played by Ejiofor. Just a thought. I don't want the same old bald, boring Blofeld coming to us.
Great rumour, always nice to see a good actor on the EON radar. For those judging him already, open your mind.
I'd rather have it the other way round. And actually, as I know Elba's work more, for the moment, I'd rather see Idris Elba. Because a villain played by Elba would not really need a muscleman henchman.
I don't want the bald Blofeld anymore... but what you describe is exactly like TWINE and The Dark Knight Rises. AND if I am against a black Blofeld, I am even more against a female Blofeld. What's the point in that twist? It's not like we can just give the name Blofeld to any villain, regardless of his or her gender, age and appearance.
Then you don't want Blofeld, because that's who he is. I'd add that he's a white European who is older than Bond as well.
As far as I remember, he wasn't bald in the books - at least, I'm 100% sure he wasn't in OHMSS, but I can't remember about Thunderball and YOLT.
Therefore, bald Blofeld is the wrong one.
Yes, you are right. Dr. No was bald, though as was Sluggsy Morant from TSWLM.
Is there one?
Keep your hair on, I'll have a look! :D
Well, he wasn't bald except in YOLT, but otherwise yes, Blofeld should be this distorted father figure, older than Bond and very seasoned. When the novel TB takes place, he has been around for what? 30 years? And he has to be someone who could reasonably pass as the last descendent of an old French aristocratic family. Heck, Blofeld is not merely a white European, he is an Eastern European, from bleeding Poland, not a country who is famous to its ethnical diversity, especially not fifty years ago!
And is it only me or are people seem to be only interested about the name Blofeld, without caring one bit about the character and who would fit the bill?
Blofeld was never bald in the novels that I recall. And yes, the film Blofelds have removed all that was interesting and distinctive and made him into a caricature of an evil mastermind (Telly Savalas in OHMSS aside).
A minor detail. Personally, I don't give a dam' whether he's bald or not. Hardly prerequisite.
I'd rather have him not bald to distance him from his previous movie incarnations. But if he ver shows up again in the movies, let's make him close to the novels'!
Precisely. This isn't about Blofeld per se at all but about a subversive agenda.
And it is not a race issue: people mentioned Benedict Cumberbatch as Blofeld too. Why, why, why? Cumberbatch is way too young, too British and he simply does not look like Blofeld. In Star Trek, however good he was as a psycho, he was nothing like Khan should have been. And people just bring forward the most unfit actor for Blofeld: Leonardo di Caprio (what?), Colin Farrell, Bruce Willis, heck, even Helen Mirren was mentioned! It seems that the only prerequisite to play Blofeld is having play a villain once, and/or being bald.
Here, here, sir!
Because people suggested Ejiofor as Blofeld.
