To be glad that Daniel Craig has resigned as Bond?

[Yseulte]

He's a great actor, and he made ace Bond. But - Bond is not blonde. Fact.

Roll on Aidan Turner.

James Norton, aka Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, good call.

~sighs~

I started a thread a long time ago during the heady days of Poldark calling for AT as Bond, there was not much postivity then, glad to see there has been more of a ground swell

He he, thought Clive Owen was Clive James until I googled. There are posts that make more sense now.

Nah, dont think he is any competition for AT.

I seriously do not know about Poldark. Why did no one tell me!!!

I blame you lot.

Nah he's getting a bit of a rep as a diva

Has he resigned then?

Not Idris Elba, never got the hype round him but I don't have anyone to propose.

Who is a diva?

Aidan, Idris James, Benedict or Clive? Or even Daniel?

If it were Aidan Turner I would change the habit of a lifetime and go to see it

Yes apparently he's accepted a US TV series.

Poldark was quite crap, I only watched it for AT.

Idris Elba would be my choice for Bond. Mmmmmm

Ooohhh Henry Cavill makes my bits tingle.... Yes please

Problem with Idris is that he looks like he's just give the bad guy a good kicking and go for a pint of bitter rather than do the whole kill the baddie, make a smart comment and order a martini in a sharp suit thing.

Who's a diva?

Well Idris is reported to have dumped his gf and baby for Naomi Campbell.

Does that count as divaish?

If true I think it just makes him an arsehole.

I'd like to see Matthew McFayden have a crack at being bond. He's got that quintessential English charm about him with an underlying air of menace about him.

Love Daniel Craig as Bond. Not really fussed about his face (wouldn't say no to his body though). Agree with Aiden Turner or Idris Elba.

Idris could act posh...

Is he definitely off?

I loved him as Bond but he seemed weary in Spectre; like he wasn't bothered anymore so I'm glad if he's knocking it on the head.

I'd like Andrew Lincoln as Bond, don't think Idris is in the running, a bit too gruff although I'd love to see him play the role.

Wayhey, never liked Daniel, now let me just phone David Tennant & tell him he's next Time for a different Bond....

Agree. Never thought he was right!

Aidan Turner would be fantastic, great voice.

Henry Cavill is very attractive, which might be a problem. Bond, imo, should be a bit rugged and a little mean looking. Charles Brondon is just too pretty type handsome.

Quintessential English charm like Sean Connery?

So this is my spiel about who plays Bond (I quite liked DC). He will be British, at a push Irish. He won't be mega famous, especially in the U.S. He'll be (or look) between 35 and 40, prob closer to 40. He won't be too pretty.

So not Aidan or Benedict or Idris.
Richard Armitage would be great right now but he's 44 so too old for future Bond.
