Who Would Be Your

[LadyCG]

next James Bond?

I know they've killed off the character, but hypothetically speaking....

My vote would go to the most handsome man in the universe, Henry Cavill.

[LadyCG]

I suppose Michael Fassbender would make a good substitute if HC couldn't accept due to other commitments...

[royfromaus]

Whoopi Goldberg

[pixie374]

Aiden Turner... right now.

[Spicerack]

What do you mean about the character being killed off. LadyCG?

[rockyracoon]

I’d like to see Rege-Jean Page.

[ParsleyDumpling]

I wasn't sure if No Time To Die was like The Mousetrap? Since you have let the cat out of the bag, I would a relative unknown to play the part (but not sure who :-))

Hugh Laurie

[JimF]

Since there's been a female M for years, my choice would be Michelle Keegan.

[LadyCG]

Oh Rocky, I really can't take to that guy. I think it was that car ad he was in and he sounded so smarmy :-(

James Bond is no more, Spicey! I know, it's ridiculous...

I don't think their future vision for the franchise is going to be the success they anticipate.

Pixie... was he the chappie in Poldark? Not very Bond-esque I don't think...

[LadyCG]

//my choice would be Michelle Keegan.//

I bet it would ;-)

Richard Madden has the rugged good looks for the part.

If he could manage a British accent, Steven Yeun might be a good choice too.

If the budget's a bit tight though, I'm currently available ;-)

[pixie374]

Yes lcg, watching him now- and I'm sure he could be.

[pixie374]

Over 6ft, dark, gorgeous. What more do you want?

[Spicerack]

Well I never knew that.
Can't see how the franchise will survive.
Still, I can't see why adults are picking who should star in a 'kid's film'.
Guess I'm out of touch.

[Ellipsis]

> I know they've killed off the character

No they haven't. As usual, the last James Bond movie ended with the message "James Bond will return" ...

[tiggerblue10]

I'd still love to see Idris Elba as James Bond but doubt that will ever happen. He's already dismissed it....I think.

[237SJ]

Before Daniel Craig I would have said Clive Owen but he's getting on a bit now so I would agree with pixie - Aiden Turner. He's gone a bit quiet lately though.

[Buenchico]

^^^ There are reports that Idris Elba might play a villain in a Bond movie, rather than 007 himself:

Since when has the James Bond franchise been classed as kids' films? I think one of the reasons they killed the character off was so they could go all woke/PC. The films were always about James Bond, now I think they will be a run of the mill spy film. I hope I'm proved wrong, I would probably still go to the cinema to watch them, though.

[LadyCG]

Ellipsis, the film makers confirmed that the character was dead...
