I think it should be the guy from the first series of Bridgerton who left

Leo Woodall is so hot but kind of in a cheeky way - i don't think i can see him as Bond

I think it will be Idris Elba though

I’m worried it’s going to be Jeffrey Bezos now Amazon have bought the rights to James Bond off the Broccolis. 🤣

Chuck Norris.

Jamie Dornan or Leo Woodall (age proof but might be too young), Henry Cavil but he needs to be a bit rougher looking

I love Jack Lowden, but he’s not really “leading man” material.

Henry Cavill needs to be rougher-looking? Have you not seen him in The Witcher?

Mytholmroyd · 27/02/2025 19:26

Absolutely @AllProperTeaIsTheft I loved him as the Witcher - and to a lesser extent in the league of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

I saw yesterday that he is cast in Gone with the Wind 2 with Lily James - anyone knowmif that's real or not? Can never tell these days! He's very busy!

Dwayne Henry. Good looking, looks great in a suit, already played a British spy in ncis

Theo James
After watching Guy Ritchies 'The Gentleman', he'd be perfect!

RedToothBrush · 27/02/2025 19:58

Screw Bond.

I'll take Reacher in the meantime.

Nah !
I can't see it.
He's probably signing the contract as I post.

If I was going for the reality of JB as per the books and also a great actor I would give it to Jason Isaacs -currently the male lead in white lotus - he’s British too despite being American in white lotus. Suspect though at 61 he would be considered too old

DataColour · 24/03/2025 11:30

I love Jason Isaacs! Have you seen him in Death of Stalin? He's so good in it. Sadly as you say, too old for Bond I guess.

TheKeatingFive · 24/03/2025 11:52

I adore Jason Issacs but he's way too old for bond. 40 years ago maybe.

stayathomer · 24/03/2025 11:55

Op if you mean Rège Jean page (excuse spelling if wrong!) then yup, I’m with you!!!

TheKeatingFive · 24/03/2025 12:01

Sorry, I meant 20 years ago 😂

just googled him and yes, agree!! (Although still coming back to Rege!)

Crikeyalmighty · 24/03/2025 13:03

@TheKeatingFive I really don’t think you would have a 21 year old James Bond- 12,years ago then maybe!! in the books by the way he’s late middle aged- not some hot, fit young thing
