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

They need to get a decade or more out of whichever actor they choose so Jonny Lee Miller is far too old, he's 52.

Whoever they choose will likely be the last true Bond so they need to make it good.

Main guy from capture. Callum Turner

Saw something about this earlier! Interestingly, I’ve always thought he looks a bit like James Norton, but unlike JN, fits the ‘apparent’ age requirement of being around 30. I think he’d be good. I really liked him in The Capture.

Callum Turner would be a good choice. Have you seen The only living boy in New York?

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 20/07/2025 07:40

I think CT is absolutely gorgeous and a very understated.
And producers want to ‘capture’ a younger audience and his profile fits perfectly.

James Norton.

He would be excellent.

Taron Egerton

I like him a lot but I've never been convinced when he's acting and there is supposed to be romance with a woman.

No. But I’m looking for something to watch so I’ll have a look

StHilarion · 20/07/2025 12:32

@IAmNotASheep . Remember watching him in a mini series maybe Netflix called Glue. Quite a while ago but he stood out

Agree. I actually thought Callum Turner was the older son in the Durrels aswell but I’ve just looked and it seems not. Although I think a shout out for Josh O’Connor as a possible too. He doesn’t quite have those sleepy dreamy eyes of Callum though. ( off for a cold shower 🤣).

They don’t usually cast someone who’s already a household name do they? Like Tom Holland who is too well known and also already associated with a major franchise.

Callum Turner would be good though.

Jamie Dornan

Already too old, sadly.

Davros · 28/07/2025 18:49

I saw on the internet today that Henry Cavill has been named. I hope not, he’s nice but far too well known for another iconic role and maybe a leetle too old

MrsLargeEmbodied · 28/07/2025 18:56

he said time will tell
so no confirmation
