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.

Tom Ellis would be fantastic.

Hmm how about James McAvoy? Bond was of Scottish origin I think.

Rege-Jean Page for sure. The voice, the charisma, the ability to wear a suit, and it's past time to have a Bond who isn't a white man.

Rupert Penry-Jones

He starred in Whitechapel- he is made for the role.

Luke Evans .

I could see Matthew Goode in the role but probably not an obvious contender.

Ben Hardy would be a good fresh 007

James Norton

It can’t be anyone “pretty” like Harry Styles, Tom Hiddleston, Rege-Jean Page, Richard Madden. Even if they bulk out, they’re too effeminate.

Also has to be someone with 15-20 years of physical energy in them, so someone in their late 20s, early 30s max.

Has to be someone who can convey depth and mystery and sexiness and power-bubbling-under-the-surface.

AND I think they’re going to at least hint at bisexuality from now on.

Having said all that, I now have no idea who it could be

Tom Hardy, please!

Well if it's not gonna be Idris...

Oscar Isaac
Daniel Kaluuya
Tom Hiddleston

But it will probably be someone totally left field. They picked Craig over Clive after all....

I would have said Arnie Hammer,but it's not gonna happen now.

@peaceanddove well that's cured me of my love for Aiden Turner and that's a fire that's been burning since Being Human!

Please not Tom Hardy. Far too short and ordinary looking. Bond needs to be tall.

I once thought Idris ELBA (until I noticed he's got very bowed legs).
Tom Hardy for my vote.

All you Daniel Craig haters, I'm not his biggest fan but he's a great Bond! He's got charisma, rugged, not pretty, I've got to stick up for him! I don't fancy him as a rule but as Bond he could have me any way he liked 😂

@StylishMummy

Regé Jean Page (duke of Hastings from Bridgerton)

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

The minute I saw him I thought he would be a perfect Bond. I couldn't get into Bridgerton though!

I love Tom Hardy and think he'd be great but he has that stocky busted look that Daniel Craig has and they can't do that twice,bet they'll go for someone über suave this time. Matthew Goode actually would fit that bill.

Mwahahahaha........less competition for me!

Any thoughts on Theo James?

Theo James

Matthew Goode would be perfect

Dev Patel or Rupert Friend for me.

@Autumngoldleaf

It's got to be someone with smoulder, depth, complicated but wears life lightly...sense of humour (Craig never ever had)

Someone easy but you know they would be there in a flash in a crisis but back to the black jack and a martini...

It's a light role its not Jason Bourne or mission impossible...

You are describing Tom Ellis to me
