My understanding was that he was considered for the role, but he's just too old.
Its a very, very physically demanding role. Its why Brosnan quit, its why Craig quit and I think everyone, including Elba, decided that he was just too old to start up now.
Its a damned shame too because I think he'd have been great at it and brought new life to it.
