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?

Kit Harrington is a bit hobbit-y I think.

I've seen Theo James stroking his car. Literally. Not like you would a much-loved pet. More lascivious than that.

It ruins everything you ever see him in once you've witnessed that. Imagine Bond stroking the Aston Martin like a tiny pervert. Not good.

I've said upthread that I think Irish actors would be OK at a push, though I still think it should be a Brit in an ideal world.

Kit Harrington is far too young and too associated with GoT.

I was coming on to say Richard madden. He is short but they could stand him on a box or something.

Cillian murphy?
Hiddleston incomes himself or of the running when he has that ill advised 24 hours as Taylor swifts t shirt wearer..

Matthew Goode is tall, dark, and handsome, he'd convince as urbane yet deadly.

Another one here willing to wash Michael Fassbender

“You want someone who looks like he could shag you or headbutt you in a split second - or both. “

Love this summary of Bond.

It’s a shame David Mitchell is of an older age - could quite imagine him as JB

Henry Cavill

Idris is, regrettably, too old.

Daniel Craig has been great but he is also now too old - the last film was verging on creepy, the age gap to Lea Seydoux. He could’ve benn her dad.

Theo James anyone?

Petal so that really is Tom Hardy. Who is never going to be Bond.

Most of these suggestions are still too famous! Or the actor is too good an actor - why Chiwetel Ejiofor should contemplate playing Bond I can't think. He's a thespian.

Maybe someone like Domhnall Gleeson, but he isn’t very action-y.

I really would like to see him as the next Doctor.

Dangly that's not really down to him being too old, but her being too young. I don't know if it's my age but I am really noticing the age gaps between men and women in films and TV. Alexander Skarsgard is about 20 years older than Florence Pugh (Little Drummer Girl), I don't know if that was true to the book but I felt it really detracted from the plot, I couldn't seem to get past it.

James McAvoy?

Idris is gorgeous but too rough. That madden man would be perfect.

Ooooh yes, I think Domnhall Gleeson would make a good Dr Who also. I think he’s very versatile though and could also see him as Bond.

Idris is too old.
Jamie is too slight.
Cillian is too weasely.

David Oyelowo is keen. He was talking himself up for it recently. I can get behind a "fifteen year older Danny-from-Spooks" in the role, I think.

I’m still holding out for Noel Fielding as the next Doctor - he wouldn’t even need to do much acting

Erm The novelist? You can't mean the other one.

Did anyone see him in Locke. He's the only character in the film.

He was stunning in that. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen (which is odd, when you think it would have worked just as well as a radio play lol). I think he's too famous for Bond now.

Aidan Turner would be good, but he might be too famous now, too.

Taron Egerton?

I can’t bear Idris Elba. I think he’s a terrible actor and he always seems incredibly big headed for some reason.

Isn't Sam Heughan gay? It might be a step too far for the producers to cast a gay man as Bond.

I'd love Taron Egerton.
