Who do you think will be the next Bond?

[CormoranStrike]

I think a Jamie Dornan is a good shout, but it may be a relative unknown.

Ten years ago my money would have been on Idris Elba, but I think his optimum age has passed.

I agree with your thoughts esp re Idris

I did think Henry Cavill at one stage but think he us too linked to Superman

The chap from White Collar - Matt someone

I am now thinking complete unknown ?

I am going to take a punt on Harry Styles

Strangely Henry Cavill was suggested in our house too, but personally I just think his brand of upper class Bond is outdated. The role needs to move on (as much as Bond as a character can!)

Now that’s an out there thought.

It would need to be someone without a heap of tattoos. You can't be a "secret" agent but be so identifiable by your body inking.

I think it's a woman and I'm going for Jodie Comer.

Now that’s an out there thought.

Mark my words

James Norton. Please 🙏

Make up covers his tattoos. He's just played a policeman in the 1950s.

What about that bodyguard chap? Or the guy from Happy Valley James Norton?

I dont think he will be but I think Chris Hemsworth would make an awesome Bond, a charming one in the style of Roger Moore. He's not that ugly either.

Sean Connery had tattoos on his lower arm.They just cover them up

Far out thought - Dev Patel

I wonder if Barbara Broccoli and the team approach an actor who then for whatever reason turn it down ?

I will be sad to see Daniel Craig go as I liked him as Bond

God no

Regé-Jean Page
Bradley James
Tom Hopper

Richard Armitage would be amazing

Tom Hardy, he has the charisma and feels edgy and dangerous.

Robert Pattinson for me 😁

I don't know, but I do think it's a shame that Idris Elba missed the opportunity.

Another vote for James Norton!

Btw; the James Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has ruled out casting a female actor as 007.

Tom Ellis for me.
Although I think Tom Hiddleston has an outside chance.

Regé Jean Page (duke of Hastings from Bridgerton)

He's younger than a typical Bond but damn...

Richard madden for me. Although if I'm allowed a wild card then I will go with
John Boyega

Henry Golding would be amazing.

Maybe Dan Stevens?

I like the idea of Dev Patel as per PP suggestion.

No one! I think Bond will be killed off in No Time to Die. They may have another 007 but James Bond as a character will be no more. Plus how can you top Daniel? Best Bond by a country mile.

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey I read your first suggestion as Richard Madeley .
