Done to death, but seeing as Aaron Taylor-Johnson has reportedly been offered the role... AIBU to ask who you'd cast?

Idris Elba.

Idris Elba or Adrian Lester or Regé-Jean Page

James Norton.
He's perfect for Bond.

James Norton

Bugger. I forgot him yes he would make a great Bond too.
Perhaps he didn't want to commit to a contract for the next few years.

I wouldn't cast Norton because although he might be a good Bond (I'm not sure if he can do the quips though) , I'd rather he spent his time on better roles.

LakieLady · 21/03/2024 23:26

Aidan Turner.

That's a very good point.

DigitalDust · 21/03/2024 23:27

Definitely not James Norton - I don’t understand the love MN has for him.

Idris Elba or Henry Cavill for me.

Lovetok · 21/03/2024 23:30

Henry Cavill

Basilandmandarin · 21/03/2024 23:31

Orlando Bloom

alicepr · 21/03/2024 23:31

Henry Cavill

trisky · 21/03/2024 23:36

Bradley James
Rege-Jean Page
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Callum Turner

makeanddo · 21/03/2024 23:37

Theo James

BringMeSunshineAllDayLong · 21/03/2024 23:38

Sadly I think Idris is too old for Bond.

Acapulco12 · 21/03/2024 23:39

Bradley James
Rege-Jean Page
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Callum Turner

Callum Turner is a really good shout. Either him or James Norton, or Idris Elba. Or Richard Madden maybe.

Schoolhelp23 · 21/03/2024 23:39

Unpopular opinion but I think Idris is pretty mediocre, acting wise!

I can see Michael Fassbender in the role.

(Apart from in The Wire)

Maybe Daniel Kaluuya

Towerofsong · 21/03/2024 23:40

makeanddo · 21/03/2024 23:37

Theo James

Oooh yes!
Theo would be good

Or Idris Elba

melisma · 21/03/2024 23:40

Harris Dickinson.

Acapulco12 · 21/03/2024 23:41

Ooh maybe Leo Woodall (from The White Lotus and One Day)?

Avatartar · 21/03/2024 23:50

Cillian Murphy

SocksAndTheCity · 22/03/2024 00:01

Ideally Colin Salmon, but he's already been in it as an MI6 bloke. Somebody was asleep at the switch there.

I agree with PP about Richard Madden.

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 22/03/2024 00:20

Hopefully not Idris. I love Idris, I don't want to see him as Bond. As much as I love the Bond films I do think he's a bit of a dick and I don't want to ruin my Idris crush
