Who do you think will be the next Bond?

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.

Cillian Murphy would be a great bond, or Richard Madden.

DS is convinced Rege-Jean Page as straight after the trailer for Bond is the new Audi trailer with him in it ...
although I think I read somewhere he is in a new version of The Saint.

Harry Styles is an excellent actor but possibly too young.

They ruined Bond with Daniel Craig tbh

It won't be anyone as well known as Tom Hardy. Harry Styles is too young.

I think Richard Madden could be a good shout.

@user1471474462

I would be very surprised if it isn’t a POC.

I’m not sure who though.

I have to agree. It absolutely most likely will be.
Autumngoldleaf · 28/09/2021 19:03

Dominic... Can't remember his last name he actually played Ian Fleming.

Needs to be someone with a sparkle in their eye though! I nerve ever liked Daniel Craig in it..

Need someone who seems wild but also vulnerable.. Funny.. Takes life lightly

Autumngoldleaf · 28/09/2021 19:05

Oh gosh aiden Turner yes!!. Yes yes yes!!

Tellmesomethinggirl · 28/09/2021 19:06

I wanted the actor who played Peter Wills from Chicago Fire to play the next 007 (if he could do a convincing British accent) but he may be a bit too young, and rather sadly, the actor has drink problems in RL apparently, so possibly not! But I think he has the right look and he is a really good actor given the right script. Would be good to half a mixed race Bond and he can definitely do action scenes!

Still Tom Ellis for me (comes over all unnecessary…)

@AnotherEmma

I wonder if the next Bond will be black. It's about time, really.
Why?
aSofaNearYou · 28/09/2021 19:15

I'd be surprised if they go for another white guy, I'd put money on it being a POC rather than a woman, though.

WellTidy · 28/09/2021 19:17

I think Rege Jean Page has it in the bag. Ticks every box.

Whinginadeville · 28/09/2021 19:19

Jodie Comer would be fantastic if they go for a woman

Yes he'd be great!

@Waterfallgirl

Andrew Scott ( please!)

Quite like the Dev Patel suggestion too.

Away with your naughty priest fantasies! Andrew Scott can't play Bond; he's already been in a James Bond film playing a baddy in Spectre.
BlakeDreary · 28/09/2021 19:23

I really hope it isn't Richard Madden he's got zero sex appeal for me. So vanilla. Needs to be somebody with an air of mystery around them.

Then again I thought Daniel Craig was a complete mis-match for Bond and he's been one of the sexiest!

Deadringer · 28/09/2021 19:23

Daniel Radcliffe

WaltzingToWalsingham · 28/09/2021 19:25

James Norton, please!

AnyFucker · 28/09/2021 19:26

Christ no, not Daniel Radcliffe. He can’t act for toffee and is quite the snivelling little person

SmellyOldOwls · 28/09/2021 19:27

@Viviennemary

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

That would be excellent!

Richard Madden is too short. What about Poldark?

astronomydomine1 · 28/09/2021 19:28

Why not just end it with the film coming out this week?

SmellyOldOwls · 28/09/2021 19:31

@Housewife2010

I'm still giggling at the thought of Richard Madeley.
