The Duke of Hastings won't be in the next Bridgerton series

Silver lining of this thread is I hadn’t heard the Bond rumours. Now that would be superb. He’s exquisitely pretty!

If there's one thing (well, two I suppose) that could lead me back to the Bond franchise...

Oh no, he's no bond! He's not nearly knarled nor charismatic enough.

To be fair, we saw a very great deal of him when he was on Bridgerton...

I think he's definitely charismatic enough for Bond, he'd be great. More of a Pierce Brosnan style Bond than Daniel Craig maybe. Plus we could watch him for an entire movie

The film he is currently making for Netflix is supposed to be very Bond, although I think it is someone else who is the lead.

It is a shame but he is only a minor character in the subsequent books and this was his big break. I really hope both the Lukes don’t drop out before their books tho!

I wonder if the script writers could make an entire Bond film with him in it along the lines of 'some wicked meglomanic has stolen all Bonds clothes'?

Could make for a pleasant 120 mins

Seems a shame he won't pop up but I preferred Anthony anyway!

Makes sense as presume his part in series 2 would be small.

The books are dire, hope they change some plot points!

Sounds reasonable thebabessavedme

I just rewatched the whole series as a bank holiday treat to myself. He really is an exceptionally attractive man.

Bravo @OysterMonkey

I know this thread is from last month but I am here to say

1. I appreciate he is supremely handsome, beautiful, incredible body. Before I watched I was team Duke
2. Then I read the book before watching and became Team Anthony
3. Then I watched and vacillated between them but Anthony still wins out because he just seemed to have a spark that just wasn’t there with the Duke. Call it fate.
4. I’m now reading Anthony’s book and I love him.
5. Caveat: I retain my place in the Duke queue for the days when Anthony is otherwise engaged.

The End.
