What do you reckon? Personally I would have preferred someone else.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Aaron Taylor-Johnson - allegedly, as it hasn't been officially confirmed by Broccoli/Wilson/EON yet.

Personally I'm happy with the casting. I thought he was great in Bullet Train. I'm a big Bond fan and I'm just desperate for a new film to come out as NTTD was such a disappointment for me and I didn't like Daniel Craig.

Interested in this thread?

@pinkpuppy98 I like him in Bullet Train but if he is Bond I just can’t see it. I’d prefer someone one more like Daniel Craig.

I'm not the biggest fan of ATJ (and still less of his creepy wife) I would prefer Jack Lowden.

Yeah he has the French president wife thing going on.

MeinKraft · 19/03/2024 20:08

I've never seen him in anything. I have my heart rather set on Regé-Jean Page and anyone who is not him might be a bit disappointing. Apart from Sam Heughan.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 19/03/2024 20:09

I also thought Rege-Jean Page had it in the bag

Screamingabdabz · 19/03/2024 20:10

Hopefully he’ll get rid of that fright-wig 80s perm and scrub up quite well. 🤞🏼

HesterPrincess · 19/03/2024 20:13

I adored Daniel Craig in the role - he brought a grittiness to Bond after the slick smarminess of Pierce Brosnan. I think they need another little known actor ... like DC was originally. ATJ gives me the absolute heebie jeebies for some reason and would be enough to put me completely off watching any more.

I wonder if they'll go flashback and start with Bond's early career....

Jack Lowden cannot be anyone other than River Cartwright!

Darklane · 19/03/2024 20:17

I’ve never seen him in anything, never heard of him in fact. I was hoping James Norton. Really don’t like Daniel Craig’s Bond, more squaddie than suave Commander

That's a good point. I'm a bit stumped, then. I'm not the biggest fan of Rene Jean Page, there is something a bit smug and offputting about him. I would love a Black bond (I would have loved if they'd got rid of Craig far earlier and it had gone to Idris Elba) but I'm not a fan of Rene Jean. I also don't love Sam Heughan. I love JJ Feild but he's probably a bit old.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 19/03/2024 20:25

I was hoping for Henry Cavill, but I have seen Aaron T-J in something, and thought he's make a good Bond.

Rege Jean Page is a bit too sleazy, after all that bonking in Bridgerton.

I was hoping for James Norton too

Loopytiles · 19/03/2024 20:28

’too sleazy’ for Bond - the epitome of sleaze?

Not seen anything with this guy in it: he has a sleazy smirk.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 19/03/2024 20:29

Eww not my type at all.

NarrowGate · 19/03/2024 20:33

He’s revolting and his age gap marriage really gives me the ick.

I’m so disappointed it’s not Rege Jean Page. I would have been happy with James Norton.

Kwasi · 19/03/2024 20:36

I still can’t see Daniel Craig as James Bond.

jaydess · 19/03/2024 20:38

Team Norton here. James Norton. Not Graham

WhataPithy · 19/03/2024 20:42

I think ATJ could be good, no?

My personal favourite would be Henry Golding.

BranchGold · 19/03/2024 20:53

I was never a fan of Daniel Craig in the role, he played it more in a generic action man role.

I think Theo James has the sex appeal.,

I have been saying Henry Golding for years. I think he would be perfect for the role.

Oganesson118 · 19/03/2024 20:55

Nope. Don't think he looks like a Bond, don't think he has the coolness or charisma required and he gives me the ick.
