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 think it should be Danny Dyer.

I really want James Norton to be Bond too. Shall we start a petition 😎

Edited

Thought he was brilliant in Mcmafia, I'd vote for him!

Descended from kings so why not?

Yes please! 🙏

Christian Bale, reckon he’d do the role justice.

Oh I like that idea! He's a terrific actor!

ETA actually, no: he's 51 now!

Yeah he's way too old now. Good shout though, he's one of my favourite actors.

OonaStubbs · 13/07/2025 12:30

All the young actors now look too young to be Bond. I think Sean Connery was 30 when he started, all the 30 year olds now look like children.

AutumnColours9 · 13/07/2025 13:46

Beau knapp
James Norton

Connery's Bond is an absolute horror show in the 60s slapping women about

Ladyymuck · 14/07/2025 19:06

I think Jack Lowden would be a brilliant Bond.

JohnofWessex · 14/07/2025 19:29

Richard Coles

Lalgarh · 14/07/2025 20:37

Elliot Page

I think it's ok if they were bad women.

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 15/07/2025 01:13

James Norton

PiggieWig · 15/07/2025 01:14

Idris Elba would make a great Bond

IAmNotASheep · 15/07/2025 01:17

Johnny Flynn in the hope he gets some of his songs in too

That'd be fabulous!

Davros · 15/07/2025 10:22

Idris Elba is too old, he would have been great.
I suggested Tom Hughes a long way back, thinking of his Prince Albert days. Having seen him in The Gold recently, I’m afraid he’s lost his looks (so shallow)

OonaStubbs · 15/07/2025 20:29

Apparently James Bond becomes a public domain character fairly soon (70 years after the death of the author).

Westfacing · 16/07/2025 07:00

Dare I suggest James Nelson Joyce - rather than one of the many posh-boy actors who seem to get most of the big roles.

Crikeyalmighty · 16/07/2025 14:42

If age didn’t come into it I would say Jason Isaac’s

OonaStubbs · 16/07/2025 22:03

I just looked at the latest odds.

Gemma Collins is 5000-1
Jeremy Clarkson is 1000-1
Aaron Taylor Johnson is the favourite at 15/2
Tom Holland is the second favourite.

I was momentarily surprised because I always mistake Tom Holland for Tom Hollander.
Tom Hollander would be great; Tom Holland not so much.

Aaron Taylor Johnson even less 🤮

I’d have loved the new bond to be Jonny Lee Miller, but I suspect he’s too old now. He was great in Elementary.
