Daisy May Cooper tipped to be 'M' in upcoming Bond films

[MeinKraft]

Do you think Daisy May would be a great M, and if not who would you choose? I can't say I know much about her, I don't think I've ever seen her in anything. If I had to cast M I'd choose Anna Maxwell Martin.

She's dreadful and will make a dreadful M. My choice would be Kristen Scott Thomas.

Yes ^

Kelley hates and Nichola Walker are too obvious. Please not Emma Thompson. Actually, DMCwas pretty good in that drama a few months ago. Surprisingly good. I think she could be a good M, or an even better Q.

*Hawes

Absolutely not to half of these suggestions.

Emma Thompson - she's turning into catshit, she's everywhere. It's too obvious.
Sarah Lancaster, can't stand her. Good actress though.
DMC - God awful choice. Don't like her. Don't think she's funny. She's not old enough.

Kristin Scott could be good.

For Bond, Reggie Jean Page, Idris Elba or Henry Cavil for me (okay two of those maybe based entirely on who I think is gorgeous)

I know nothing about MI6 demographics but Meera Syal would be fantastic.

If Ralph Fiennes definitely not coming back?

Viola Davis (how to get away with Murder) would be good I think. She’s n awesome actresses

This I would love. DMC not so much. It's one way to kill off a franchise though...

God, no. Too young for starters. I'd give M and Bond to unknowns.

But for Keeley Hawes, it's pretty much the same role she plays in Slow Horses - would they cast her in Bond?

i love DMC, she has amazing acting chops. Would also love to see a working class woman do this. I can't help thinking when people say she has no gravitas they mean she's not middle claaaaarse enough.

Nope.

In my case it means literally everything I've seen her in, she's screaming/shouting being generally quite unpleasant.

Gravitas is, to me, about being able to hold a room on your word, being able to command attention by doing no more than a slight head tilt, by garnering respect and trust....

DMC to me just ....no. has no of that.

but who is Bond?

Not really understanding the negativity towards DMC … She’s a highly talented professional actor - blessed with a face and demeanour that could suggest pretty much any adult age required. Unless you cared overly much about her birth date (and most viewers outside the UK won’t) I don’t see why she wouldn’t be convincing.

But Viola Davis would be an inspired choice! She would absolutely make me believe the world is on the brink of monumental disaster which only she and Bond can avert.

Is viola Davis British though? I guess she could do the accent anyway. Ooh, if we are including non British actors, how about Michelle Yeoh? She would fit.

I'm suspicious that Henry Cavill will be Bond. Highly suspicious to me that he suddenly stops being Superman and The Witcher when he was so popular in those roles. My theory is that you can't be superman and Bond simultaneously so maybe that is why.

Just a hunch, although I'm not sure he's right for the role.

I'm now hoping for Rupert Friend. I like Idris Elba, but he already seems too old and we need Bond to have enough innings to last a decade I'd think.

Ew, that twig of a man. It needs to be a serious man. Like henry cavill 😋

henry Cavill and thandie Newton would have amazing chemistry as m and bond!

Either of these would be great

I don't think you know her work very well then. but you're entitled to your opinion. I find it quite rude to respond 'nope' to someone else's opinion but you do you.

Yep, Keely Hawes would get my vote

Amused me as I read in DM(Sorry!) that it was news to her! I think the whole Bond thing is going through a rebuild ,so maybe differences to characters to fit in more modern times .Apparently Ian Fleming was similar to his JB character ,dashing and handsome ,"ladies" man .The thinking is to be more inclusive now

Colin salmon for me he's been in previous films so he could have risen through the ranks ( he'd have made a fabulous bond back in the day)

She's in danger of becoming the female version of James Corden

I'd like to see Olivia Coleman or Hugh Laurie as M.

Lindsay Duncan would be my choice for M
