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

Chiwetel Ejiofor. I think he'd be amazing.

Theo James

Oh yes please....

Chiwetel Ejiofor. I think he'd be amazing.

Another good shout. Great actor.

Joel Kinneman. He's really versatile, and I love him.

If Joel was Bond, I'd even watch Bond films.

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

Same. Sometimes I think its just fashionable to like him. Nothing he's done is memorable for me. A bit wooden.

Aidan Turner or Rege-Jean Page

Roy Cropper.
He could carry no end of gadgets in his shopping bag.

StaySpicy · 22/03/2024 07:55

I was really hoping it would be Regé-Jean Page.

Overtheatlantic · 22/03/2024 08:24

Tom Hollander, not Holland.

Womblingmerrily · 22/03/2024 08:27

Henry Cavill or Theo James

EcstaticMarmalade · 22/03/2024 08:37

Rebecca Ferguson

kalokagathos · 22/03/2024 13:18

Another one for Idris Elba ❤️

Prawncow · 22/03/2024 13:23

Idris is too old and honestly far too good to be Bond.

Really, anyone but Aaron Taylor-Johnson. I can’t get past his creepy wife.

Uricon2 · 22/03/2024 14:16

Will always think that they missed a trick with Clive Owen, but for the next one, Henry Golding.

gocompare · 22/03/2024 14:19

John snow the fella who played him can't think of his name

RosieMilkJug · 22/03/2024 14:25

Taron Egerton

Sadly I think Idris is too old for Bond.

Roger Moore was 45-57 when he played Bond!

OkPedro · 22/03/2024 14:28

I had never heard of Aaron Taylor Johnson.. he seems a very strange fella.. his posing faces give me the creeps!

evilharpy · 22/03/2024 14:33

I was desperately hoping for Rege-Jean Page. He would be perfect. I could cope with James Norton too.

I could never see Idris as Bond but I think it's because I loved The Wire so much and will forever associate him with Stringer Bell. If he was the new Bond I would not be upset though.

I had never heard of Aaron Taylor Johnson but his greasy-looking hair makes my skin crawl.

SocksAndTheCity · 22/03/2024 15:21

I don't know who Rege-Jean Page is, but having done some research I definitely would.

My next nomination is Matt Smith Smile

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 22/03/2024 15:49

@Prawncow I agree about him being too good for Bond. He's far from too old though!

He would be good as a different 00 agent. One who has a better attitude and doesn't jump in to bed with everyone
