Who should be the new James Bond.

[Tinkerbell456]

I have started watching Turn Up Charlie. I think he would be great as Bond. Bit of a departure what with the East End accent and looking (struggling to say what I mean accurately here) . A bit rough around the edges looking rather than polished if you see what I mean. And yes. He is a non minger crush of mine😀! Or a woman. Suggestions?

I want Naomie Harris to stay as Monneypenny.

No not cumberbatch. He's not good looking enough. He's great and I love him but he's no bond. Even he would laugh at that.

No one , they should kill Bond off, it’s turd

I hope they keep on Ben Wishaw, I love him as Q. And Ralph Fiennes is a great M.

Just to throw a curveball into the mix how about Charlie Cooper?(Curtain from This Country)
Or is he too unusual looking?

Charlie Cooper

He looks like a spotty teenager, tbh. Couldn’t look less Bond-like if he tried. Who is he?

Oh, sorry, you said. never heard of it/him.

Are you a relative Tracey Beaker?

I cannot imagine why else you’d think he was a contender.

Yes I'm his sister Daisy........not
I just had a mad moment but then remembered loads of people moaned about Daniel Craig being cast as Bond when it was first announced. So I thought why not.
Btw I think Daniel Craig & Timothy Dalton are the best Bonds.

What about Alex pettyfer?

Ohhh ....I would always say Idris would be an amazing strong sexy bond but to be honest,.I grew up watching Roger Moore at his cheesiest and I would love to see someone fill that funny/sexy/corny role...maybes Chris Pratt or Jude law?
Someone with a bit ham as well as sex appeal 😊😉

OP I was thinking 'Idris Elba' just from your title . In the words of a good friend of mine "he looks like he could throw you about a bit"

James Norton

Tom Hiddleston too foppish and Aiden Turner too short although Daniel Craigs not very tall

Charles Dance would have been a good Bond, classy. But way too old now sadly

Can't believe no one has suggested Henry Golding yet! He's half British and would sell the film in Asia quite well...

I think someone like Josh O’Connor would be good. To me he looks like how I visualise the Ian Fleming James Bond.

Failing that, James Cordon. I mean why not? He has been in ruined every other film in the last 5 years so why not James Bond

Ricky whittle - he's brilliant in American Gods

Yes yes yes! He is gorgeous!!

Plus it gives hope to all the other English soap actors! Look how far he has come since his Hollyoaks days!

Plus that man seems to be able to do any accent you chuck at him! He could deff do a posh English one!

Jude Law, excellent idea, PP.😊👍

Jude a bit long in the tooth? Rick Whittle though ( having looked him up on wiki without reading anything just looking) looks a perfect age and the smooth yet manly looks one expects from Bond at all times. What about Graeme Norton as Mr Moneypenny?

Maybe GN would giggle too much though.😀

Without reading the full thread and being tainted by other suggestions first-

Doris is too old, new Bond needs to be in his 39s and have a few years in him for the franchise.

Bradley James.

And it's not that I don't love Idris because I do.
