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

James Norton.

James Norton's voice let's him down. Like Tom Hardy nice to took at but it's all downhill when they open their mouths.

Acc0untant · 21/02/2025 13:23

Henry Cavill is perfect for any role. I'd watch him as Bond, Mary Poppins and Shrek...

DalzielOrNoDalzielAndDontPascoe · 21/02/2025 13:25

I reckon they could do an awful lot worse than Richard Ayoade.

Surely Bond died at the end of the last film. I'm more intrigued how they are going to bring him back from that.

DisforDarkChocolate · 21/02/2025 13:26

Idris is too old.

I'd like to see Dev Patel.

It will be a total reboot as if anything that's gone before never happened I think

That's Aaron Pierre isn't it?

Aaron Taylor Johnson is the one in Kick Ass.

Omg you're right 😄😄🙈

Dread to think what Amazon (America) will do to the franchise. It won’t be British Bond as we know him (as he was written) that’s for sure.

I cant stand him 😩, he'd be a terrible bond imo - too much personality

Someone absolutely new and unknown
Go back to the ott nonsense of classic bonds.. jumping speed boats and going to space and hats that decapitate when hurled.

I miss those silly bond films from my child hood bank holidays.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/02/2025 13:31

Ayoade should have got Doctor Who over Ncuti Gatwa he was perfect for it

Then why kill him off? I thought the next Bond might be a woman who was supposed to be his daughter.

Agreed
Like Disney and star wars

@saveforthat

They were never REALLY killing him off, too big of a money spinner, they were just killing off "The Daniel Craig era"

TruffleShuffles · 21/02/2025 13:34

Jack Lowden and he must use his Scottish accent.

Sassybooklover · 21/02/2025 13:34

Edris is too old, he's in his 50s. You need a Bond to be in their early to mid 30s ideally, so they have age on their side to do more than a couple of movies. James Norton would get my vote!

RedPony1 · 21/02/2025 13:34

Richard Madden

Idris Elba is too old now

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/02/2025 13:35

I am watching a Film YouTuber right now who is theorising that Amazon will just strip mine it for all it's worth and run it into the ground

Great call but could he still do Slow Horses if he did? 🤔

See I don't get this because the Sean Connery era and the other Bonds didn't need killing off.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/02/2025 13:38

Daniel Craig wanted out and had been vocally unhappy so maybe that's why, I don't know, I'm just curious myself @saveforthat

BrownieBlondie01 · 21/02/2025 13:38

I think Aaron Taylor Johnson could be good, I'd say in the grand scheme of things he's not massively well-known which could be a plus for a new Bond, plus he's young. And gorgeous.
