Anything is better than Daniel Craig, all previous Bonds had charm and charisma while he looks like a dude who works at the docks.....

Just get Taron Egerton or Colin Firth since they did a better job of being bond-like in Kingsman than Craig ever did in the Bond role.
James Bond Producers Are Reportedly Leaning Toward Idris Elba as the Next 007
There are a lot of actors who could play 007 once Daniel Craig retires from the role he despises: Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender (even though he's Irish), Tom Hiddleston (of Hiddleswift fame), David Oyelowo (who actually voices the character in the audiobooks). Hell, even controversially-mustached human man Henry Cavill thinks he has what it takes.
But there's only one actor who should be the next James Bond, and that's Idris Elba. -snip

Isn't he a bit old to start playing Bond?

Why not just create a new spy character that's black instead of reusing James Bondjust find it lazy having to change a race or sex of a character.

Well with Daniel Craig fans were complaining about having a Blond Bond.So Really dont see the issue with a Black Bond. Given that wouldnt change the character at all.
Now a Female Bond... That would change the character... A Lot.
Otherwise, have at it!
Bond having Blonde hair is just as superficial as Bond having Black skin. What really makes Bond is that he's British, suave, charming, a lady-killer and can kill a man effortlessly if needed. Idris Elba ticks all those boxes.
Granted, I know the character was written as a White man and when I personally think of Bond, Pierce Brosnan fits the look best in my mind, handsome/striking features, dark hair, tall and fit but not overly muscular. Idris ticks off all those boxes too expect skin color.
