Who Should Be Next James Bond?

[ToraToraTora]

Don't answer just to Troll, if you hate Bond fine I don't want to know.
Some suggestions here ....

....but I've been impressed with Taron Egerton of late and I think he'd make a great Bond.

I call cultural appropriation on Idris Elba.

Anyway I can't watch Stringer Bell bowing to her maj.

[royfromaus]

Daniel Mays is more Johnny English than James Bond.

[ladybirder]

Who do you think would be right for it roy?

[Mozz71]

//yes but he didn't become Bond//

Okay, fair point.

[piggynose]

Cillian Murphy

[Mozz71]

I had a peruse online and a few names that seem popular that we haven't mentioned...

Henry Cavill (Superman)
Gerard Butler (lots of stuff)
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones)

My reactions to these is nope, maybe if he was a bit younger, and yup, but I don't think 3T would approve a Dane.

[Prudie]

Another vote for Chris Hemsworth from me

[ToraToraTora]

Henry Cavill (Superman) - possible
Chris Hemsworth - Nope, no more aussies
Gerard Butler (lots of stuff) - Too old
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) - no skandys

[ToraToraTora]

hang on Cavill's a Crapaud!

[Buenchico]

Given that my first two suggestions were ignored, I'm going to nominate myself for the role.

I'm sure that with a bit of CGI (OK, perhaps with a lot of CGI) I could look the part ;-)

[ToraToraTora]

chris not ignored i assumed you were joking. Non Caucasian was established earlier.

[ToraToraTora]

I mean non Caucasian is out was established earlier.

[Mozz71]

//hang on Cavill's a Crapaud//

French? Nah, he's English. Born in Jersey.

[ToraToraTora]

crapaud is the colloquial term for Jerseys mozz

[Buenchico]

I think that he proud people of Jersey might take exception to you including it in England, Mozz71!

[Mozz71]

Is it wrong of me to kind of want Idris Elba to get the roll now, just to pish 3T off?

I was like that with my Doctor Who loving, racist ex-father in law. I championed Chiwetel Ejiofor for that roll, partly because he's a great actor, partly out of spite.

Vinnie Jones

[ToraToraTora]

not wrong mozz and please don't turn this into and ism. My views are based on my puritanical approach to Bond nothing else. Bond must be a white British man, end of.

[Mozz71]

Thanks 3T, I assumed it was for the French as it means "toad". Don't tell me the Channel Islands are on your banned list too?

Yeah, you're right Chris, but they're an UK dependent as far as I'm aware. Much like the Isle of Man?

[Mozz71]

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to say that's your reason for discounting non Caucasian actors, you're just a stickler for book faithfulness.

I still think, based solely on ability, Elba is a good fit lol
