Suggestions for next Bond actors

SPOILERS: In NTTD, Bond is blown to smithereens so it’s likely the next movie will be another reboot. Amazon have the rights to make Bond films so I feel along with a new director, they would welcome a new actor.

I would rule out Idris Elba, nothing against him, great actor, but he is too old at this point and I would unfortunately do the same with Tom Hardy even though he was my personal choice for the gig, Cavill is too tentpole now.

Here are my suggestions:
-Rege Jean Page
-James Norton
-Tom Bateman
-Richard Madden
-Aidan turner
-Henry Golding
-George McKay
-Dan Stevens
-Harry Lloyd
-Clive Standen
-Tom Hopper
-Oliver Jackson Cohen
-Jack Lowden

None

Timothée Chalamet 😂

Henry Cavill with Denis Villeneuve directing. Also bring in some fresh screenwriters as well, Purvis and Wade have been very hit and miss.

I don’t think Cavil is that well known even though he is SuperMan that franchise is not that huge. So Cavil is still kind of unknown.

So Henry Cavil is still my number 1 pick.

Cavill is kind of unknown? Seriously? Gotta disagree with that but yeah he could fit the role of 007.

You can also rule Idris Elba out because he said he's not going to do it.

and he is black.

I'd still love to see Colin Farrell as Bond.

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 3 years ago

Good choice but he's 45 now.

[–] Ripkens25 (2066) 3 years ago

Henry Cavill

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 3 years ago

He's a popular choice and a good one too.

I hear Chris Hemsworth is in serious negotiations to be the next Bond.

[–] Sarmoviefan26 (1368) 3 years ago

I’d love to see Chris Hemsworth as Bond. The idea excites me very much. Looks very Brosnan style but blond hehe. But I love love the idea. It makes me very happy.

But hey if the rumors are true, that means after love and thunder Chris is done with Marvel?

Another good choice would be Charlie Hunam I think he is middle ground between tug and elegant.
Craig bond fans want Tom Hardy or Idris Elba meanwhile Brosnan bond fans we want either Henry Cavil or Chris Hemsworth. So Charlie hunam would make us both teams happy.

I'd never thought about him as a possibility but I could see it working if the rumours are true.

Really shocked to see no-one question whether it's time to consider an actor of fatness for the role.

Maybe a Zach Galifianakis, a Jonah Hill or someone like that should be considered? There's even that so called comedian, although I find him utterly repugnant, portly English character James Corden. Maybe he could be considered although I don't think he can act...

But whomever. It's time to end the media's constant negative re-enforcement of fat people by casting a plump James Bond.

Amazing! 24hrs later and Sharon Stone being criticized for mentioning Jonah Hill looking "good":-

He could be a poster boy James Bond for the next generation of young lads struggling with beefy issues. Imagine the positivity if they believed they too could be Bond!
