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 think Ashley Walters would be good, about the right age and a good mixture of sass and fun.

Jumpingintosummer · 27/09/2021 22:37

I would have loved to see Idris Elba in the role but covid delays etc it would appear the time has passed.

My three guesses would be Luke Evans, Richard Madden or James Norton.

For me it has to be Rege-Jean Page.

Ooh yes Henry Golding

Viviennemary · 27/09/2021 22:39

I read ages ago it might be Sam Heughan. That would be good.

PoppityBoo · 27/09/2021 22:41

I agree with lots of these. What about the Scottish main character from Outlander?! He’s lovely!!

JazzyBBG · 27/09/2021 22:43

James Norton
Or
Richard Madden

QuimReaper · 27/09/2021 22:44

If it's Dev I will actually watch the next one!

GuyFawkesDay · 27/09/2021 22:44

Sam Heughan? Possible.

I think Jimmy Norton is a fairly good bet. Right age, look, profile is established but not a big star. Bloody good actor. He'd fit the profile, but he might not want to do it.

Hiddleston isn't right. Tom Hardy maybe, but he's a shortarse.

Leo Suter....bit young but he's again a good fit.

Adam Driver

TankFlyBoss · 27/09/2021 22:47

Louis Theroux 👍🏻

KnightonShiningArmour · 27/09/2021 22:47

Daniel Kaluuya would be a good choice. He’s got strong stage presence and is sexy as hell. I might have just been watching Sicario!

Tom Hildeston shot himself in the foot with the whole Team Taylor charade.

My money is on Richard Madden.

KnightonShiningArmour · 27/09/2021 22:49

I just read Jimmy Norton as James Nesbitt and thought that would be an odd choice!

Waterfallgirl · 27/09/2021 22:53

Andrew Scott ( please!)

Quite like the Dev Patel suggestion too.

ACPC · 27/09/2021 22:58

James Norton is my pick.

OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 27/09/2021 22:58

Dev Patel would be great. Please god no re: Harry Styles.

I reckon that Tom Hiddleston was firmly in the frame until he went off piste with the whole Taylor Swift/making an arse of himself on Graham Norton/making an arse of himself on weird photoshoots thing.

waybill · 27/09/2021 23:00

Taron Egerton?

felulageller · 27/09/2021 23:04

Can we have some photos? I don't know who any of these are!

Dinkydody · 27/09/2021 23:08

Another one for James Norton ☺️

Kayemm · 27/09/2021 23:11

I think it needs to be someone in their 30s now otherwise the number of films they can make will be limited.

Robert Pattinson?

spaceghetto · 27/09/2021 23:14

Richard Madden

DoncasterHombre · 27/09/2021 23:23

@Anordinarymum Grin Yes! You're a top mum with that suggestion, by the way.

The whole Bond franchise has been ruined by Daniel Craig anyway - as if Bond ever had blonde hair; what a f*ing joke! - they may as well cast someone like Russel Grant, Steeve Coogan or Ricky Gervais.

Sorry blondes/blonde lovers - enjoy sucking on those lemons.

lalafafa · 27/09/2021 23:27

James Norton is too camp

lalafafa · 27/09/2021 23:28

So is Richard Madden
