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

I would LOVE this 🤣

I fancy the pants off Matt Berry, so that would suit me!

I can very much see this, he's so hot

For me Theo James is out of the running as a sexy Bond type - I just can't stop thinking about him in the Inberweeners movie, where his character got poo up his nose when he thought he was doing cocaine...

Bertie Carvel is suave, posh, intelligent and gorgeous, though possibly too old now.

A bit strange too, did you see that interview he did on morning TV?

He’s great though!

PurpleFlower1983 · 29/03/2025 22:39

Gillian Anderson - time for a strong woman to take the reins!

AramintaLee · 29/03/2025 22:35

Paul Mescal gets my vote. He has those steel blue eyes. Yeah he's Irish, but that wasn't a problem for Pierce Brosnon. I think he has that rogue-ish charm about him that would work for rookie Bond (if they go down the "early days" route)

Yes I did a while ago... after watching him in The Gentleman, he'd be perfect aye?!

Yes he's a dish. I saw him in that and the White lotus.

I thought everyone had already agreed that Matt Berry was next.

Edited

I would LOVE this 🤣

spicemaiden · 29/03/2025 14:00

Idris Elba all the way

Has anyone mentioned Theo James?

What about Sam Claflin?

Davros · 24/03/2025 14:43

I think he’s about 35 in the books. I still say Tom Hughes.

In my opinion Henry Cavill has the charisma of a potato. So dull it makes him unattractive.

TheKeatingFive · 24/03/2025 13:38

Great to see the love for RJP building

Crikeyalmighty · 24/03/2025 13:22

@TheKeatingFive ha, ha - I missed that !!

outerspacepotato · 24/03/2025 13:19

Regé Jean Page.

TheKeatingFive · 24/03/2025 13:10

Crikeyalmighty · 24/03/2025 13:03

@TheKeatingFive I really don’t think you would have a 21 year old James Bond- 12,years ago then maybe!! in the books by the way he’s late middle aged- not some hot, fit young thing

I did correct myself 😂

Theo James
After watching Guy Ritchies 'The Gentleman', he'd be perfect!

just googled him and yes, agree!! (Although still coming back to Rege!)

stayathomer · 24/03/2025 11:55

Op if you mean Rège Jean page (excuse spelling if wrong!) then yup, I’m with you!!!

This is also my pick

TheKeatingFive · 24/03/2025 12:01

Sorry, I meant 20 years ago 😂

I adore Jason Issacs but he's way too old for bond. 40 years ago maybe.

DataColour · 24/03/2025 11:30

I love Jason Isaacs! Have you seen him in Death of Stalin? He's so good in it. Sadly as you say, too old for Bond I guess.
