Tom Hardy now rumoured as next James Bond

[Rebelwithallthecause]

I think he’d make an excellent bond with a new dynamic

It’s not officially confirmed but they are expecting it to be soon

I really don't get the hype around Tom Hardy full stop.

Me neither. I wanted Tom Hiddleston to be the next Bond, but I think those rumours died out a while back. His performance in The Night Manager showed that he'd be a good Bond imo.

Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever. Proper menace, none of this schmaltzy stuff. Yuk. Tom would be my next vote because he's batshit crazy, and can do menace (tho not like Craig who has a block of ice for a heart). Bond has to be believable as a ruthless killer, for me. Don't want a return to the days of Moore schmooze. "shivers at the thought"

I hope it's not him. I just done get the Tom Hardy hype 🤷‍♀️

How can you have a female James Bond?? You can have a James Bond type film with a female lead character but you can't call it James Bond. It really irks me when people say "it's about time we had a female James Bond" James Bond is male, he can be black,white, Asian...any colour, but must be a British male

@drumandthebass totally agree

I'm wholly opposed to a woman Bond. James Norton doesn't have enough 'machismo' Idris Elba not right either and I'm unsure about Tom Hardy.

Have you seen James Norton in Happy Valley? He is absolutely capable of being a great Bond.

Tom Hardy nah. Most handsomest Bond

Idris first choice, he just has it. Then James Norton is a very good choice. I wanted Clive Owen instead of Daniel Craig.

Tom Hardy is too old for JB if they want him in more than two films, and too short.

I wantedTom Hiddleston to be the next Bond

No no no. TH has as much sex appeal and charisma as a soggy rich tea biscuit. The only half interesting character he's played is the comedy bad guy Loki. Certainly not a Bond.

A female James Bond 🤦‍♀️

Tom Hiddleston and James Norton are both a no. They have the sex appeal of a sponge.

They're too old now but Richard Armitage or Jason ...somebody or other would have been good.

Leaking you read my mind with Richard Armitage

Judy Dench's character died two bond films ago, the fact that people are saying she's the best thing about the current franchise suggests you don't watch them and probably aren't the target audience.

I think Tom hardy would be awful, I think they need to inject a bit more humour into it. Idris Elba circa stringer bell would have been great but is too old now. I think they should cast someone relatively unknown.

Too short too rough just no.

I'd certainly never go and see another Bond if they cast him.

Hope you're wrong!

SC was a good Bond. The middle bunch were just awful, too clean, whishy washy, comedy characters, no grit.

DC has been excellent in bringing Bond back to original. He is supposed to be hard, brutal, mentally unstable. Tom Hardy therefore fits that continuation of theme. I think he is a good choice.

Team idris here as well! He would make an amazing bond

Jason Isaacs! That's the fella

Idris Elba has got the bond twinkle, don't care if he's a bit old as long as he doesn't.

James Norton also has a mischievousness which makes a good bond.

I like Tom Hardy, but he isn't Bond. They needs someone late thirties/early forties really if they want to keep them for more than a couple of films. Definitely not Tom Hiddleston either!

I always thought James Purefoy would make an excellent Bond, definitely too old now though sadly!

Lesser known, but I'm a big fan of Dan Stevens and think he could be excellent (if you've seen The Guest, you'll know...). But I don't think he'd want to tie himself to such a big franchise again, after having left Downton, he tends towards more indie films.

Yes agree with James Purefoy.

I did see Paul Mescal's name in the mix a while ago. He's too young though and would be mad to stereotype himself at the start of his career.
