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

If I was going for the reality of JB as per the books and also a great actor I would give it to Jason Isaacs -currently the male lead in white lotus - he’s British too despite being American in white lotus. Suspect though at 61 he would be considered too old

Andrew Scott

Nah !
I can't see it.
He's probably signing the contract as I post.

RedToothBrush · 27/02/2025 19:58

Screw Bond.

I'll take Reacher in the meantime.

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

Dwayne Henry. Good looking, looks great in a suit, already played a British spy in ncis

Absolutely @AllProperTeaIsTheft I loved him as the Witcher - and to a lesser extent in the league of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

I saw yesterday that he is cast in Gone with the Wind 2 with Lily James - anyone knowmif that's real or not? Can never tell these days! He's very busy!

Jamie Dornan or Leo Woodall (age proof but might be too young), Henry Cavil but he needs to be a bit rougher looking

Henry Cavill needs to be rougher-looking? Have you not seen him in The Witcher?

I love Jack Lowden, but he’s not really “leading man” material.

I’m worried it’s going to be Jeffrey Bezos now Amazon have bought the rights to James Bond off the Broccolis. 🤣

Oh, ok then, suit yourself 😂

theteachesofleeches · 24/02/2025 18:25

Oh come on Dev Patel is ideal - handsome, suave, knows how to do the fighting acting needed and he is such a perfect English Gentlemen!

Alifefulloflemons · 23/02/2025 12:05

Tom Ellis would get my vote 😉 the man is delicious!

Idris Elba is NOT too old! He’ll look amazing forever! 😍

I like Idris Elba but I do worry he’s a bit over exposed now. Bond is supposed to have some mystique, be a bit of an enigma and I don’t think we’d get that with Idris.
There are plenty young gorgeous actors I’d love to see on screen any day but don’t quite have the gravitas for this role- Leo Woodall, Ryan Gosling.
Richard Madden might be too wooden as an actor but he is getting closer to the right look.
I think Aaron Taylor Johnson would be great.

Completely agree, gravitas is the word

Theo James for me has the gravitas for it, and the suave mystique

I don't think Idris is too old, in fact I think he would be amazing. Hot as hell and a bloody great actor.
If not him I think James McAvoy would be great too.

Ryan Gosling is not 'gorgeous'.

It's for crucial questions like this that the internet was invented.

Anyway. Bond the character is posh and Scottish (it's in the books) so the actor has to be capable of that. Which is why Roger Moore and the others were inadequate. My own choice is Don Cheadle: I would watch him do his laundry.

Scottish you say... how about the new Rebus, Richard Rankin?

He's very handsome.
