To ask who you think the next James Bond should be?

[mumofoneAlonebutokay]

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

Hot but too muscly

@MooDengsFatRolls @dontforgetme YES Harris Dickinson. Also absolutely obsessed with him and I think he would be amazing (and is so sexy). A phenomenal actor.

There was a good article in the Times about this recently which said the same thing. Most Bond actors aren’t huge names beforehand, and they need someone who’s willing to commit to the same role for a decade or so. So it’s more likely to be in the Jack Lowden, Will Poulter range - someone who’s proved they can act but are not yet household names.

They also normally go for someone quite different from the previous Bond.

My money would be on Josh O’Connor or Harris Dickinson, someone like that. Though personally I’d love to see Jack O’Connell doing the rough-as Bond, sigh

Though I could definitely see Callum Turner too, Masters of the Air was pretty rubbish overall (that Butler guy was ridiculously miscast) but Callum Turner was knee tremblingly hot in that

Those of us saying Harris Dickinson, we're clearly not alone: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/harris-dickinson-next-james-bond

michael fassbender wouldve been perfect but probably too old by now

So it’s more likely to be in the Jack Lowden, Will Poulter range - someone who’s proved they can act but are not yet household names.

I have to say Will Poulter has had the mightiest glow ups of all glow ups!!

Harry Styles or Stormzy

Plus Elon Musk and Andrew Tate as a couple of bad guys

James Norton
or
Max Irons

Rege Jean Page then in a few years pass the baton to Aaron Pierre

It's for crucial questions like this that the internet was invented.

Anyway. Bond the character is posh and Scottish (it's in the books) so the actor has to be capable of that. Which is why Roger Moore and the others were inadequate. My own choice is Don Cheadle: I would watch him do his laundry.

As
I h as I'd love Jonathan Bailey to be bind, how goes it in contract with Bridgerton is and filming contracts for that.

Similarly any other actor who's tied up in franchises.

Now you're making me think of Hugo Rifkind.

But not in a good way and definitely not in a Bond way.

I had to google Hugo Rifkind. Indeed, how could anyone think of him in a good way? Well, maybe he has nice moobs.

Do you lke your actors tied up?

I'd like a black or Asian Bond for a change. Britain is a multicultural place. Idris Elba is too old, as is Chiwetel Ejiofor who would have been my first choice as he's proper posh.
So I'd fancy Paapa Essiedu for the role... he's a fantastic actor and ridiculously charismatic.

Sorry, HRTFT, probably mentioned already.
Jack O’Connell
I don't think he's been mentioned
I love him
But think he's too cheeky, not suave enough

Politely disagree.

If he can be an American athlete who survived a prisoner of war camp, an Ulsterman who headed up the SAS, a midwestern highwayman/horse whisperer in Godless and countless other diverse roles, I’m sure he could play suave.

Oh and not forgetting Mellors , be still my beating heart 🤣

Not Idris, I used to love him in early Luther, but he bores me now. Loves himself too much aswell.
Tom Hardy scrubs up very nicely. He’s the only one I’d watch Bond for.

Can we have Byeon Woo-seok as a villain? Pretty please?

Martin Fowler

Yes!!

I’d love it to be Henry Cavill. I think he’d be perfect for the role and would breathe some life into the franchise. He’d bring that old skool glamour back to the role.

Well I think my username says it all. Downton Thomas for Bond! That said, I could also see Dan Stevens in the role too. I know they completely different but both of them can do suave, both of them are very hot, both of them can act.

Christopher Biggins. Perfect spy, no one would suspect him!

James Norton
