To ask who you think the next James Bond should be?

I think it should be the guy from the first series of Bridgerton who left

Leo Woodall is so hot but kind of in a cheeky way - i don't think i can see him as Bond

I think it will be Idris Elba though

Jack Lowden and he must use his Scottish accent.

@saveforthat

They were never REALLY killing him off, too big of a money spinner, they were just killing off "The Daniel Craig era"

Dread to think what Amazon (America) will do to the franchise. It won’t be British Bond as we know him (as he was written) that’s for sure.

Agreed
Like Disney and star wars

It will be a total reboot as if anything that's gone before never happened I think

Then why kill him off? I thought the next Bond might be a woman who was supposed to be his daughter.

Ayoade should have got Doctor Who over Ncuti Gatwa he was perfect for it

Someone absolutely new and unknown
Go back to the ott nonsense of classic bonds.. jumping speed boats and going to space and hats that decapitate when hurled.

I miss those silly bond films from my child hood bank holidays.

I reckon they could do an awful lot worse than Richard Ayoade.

I cant stand him 😩, he'd be a terrible bond imo - too much personality

That's Aaron Pierre isn't it?

Aaron Taylor Johnson is the one in Kick Ass.

Surely Bond died at the end of the last film. I'm more intrigued how they are going to bring him back from that.

Idris is too old.

I'd like to see Dev Patel.

Henry Cavill is perfect for any role. I'd watch him as Bond, Mary Poppins and Shrek...

James Norton.

James Norton's voice let's him down. Like Tom Hardy nice to took at but it's all downhill when they open their mouths.

handsdownthebest · 21/02/2025 13:22

Henry Cavill or Charlie Hannam

Aaron Taylor seemed unrealistic to me until I watched a few of his films - I can totally see it now!

Richard Madden? I feel like bodyguard was really good so could see him in that role.

Tom Hardy - venom style!

I definitely remember thinking that Richard Madden would make a great James Bond when I saw him in The Bodyhuard. He’d be a perfect fit!
