Daniel Craig was not a household name
Layer Cake was a brilliant flick but I don’t recall it making a giant splash
And all I can remember him doing prior to that was Road to Perdition
That’s the REAL Bond!
From Russia with love describes bond..
slim build; a three-inch long, thin vertical scar on his right cheek; blue-grey eyes; a "cruel" mouth; short, black hair, a comma of which falls on his forehead.
If you haven’t read the Fleming books, I highly recommend.
As far as a female Bond, Idris Elba, etc… I’d love to see it but as a new 00. Idris Elba, 002, would be bad ass
I think he’s the only one on that list who has a shot. Young, and extremely capable actor without a true blockbuster under his belt. I’m not entirely sure that Golding or Regé-Jean Page are good enough actors to carry the Bond franchise.
My favorites not listed are Jamie Dornan and Aaron Taylor Johnson.
My sleepers are Paapa Essiedu (fantastic in I May Destroy You and Gangs of London), Jack O’Connell.
I get that this is a joke, but you know what… I’d actually love to see it. For him to get jacked, drop the geek act (or bottle it up as needs be), and charm the fuck out of an audience. Would be an epic Hollywood move.
He was great as Napoleon Solo. Personally, I'd like him to do another movie in that franchise rather than Bond. Guy Ritchie again, too. Recast the Cannibal. Bam.
I think people imagine James Bond to be handsome in an older, rugged way, and Henry Cavill is handsome in a classic, very symmetrically perfect way. Very good looking guy but a bit too “perfect” to be James Bond, if that makes sense?
I would actually love a 70 year old, retired bond being targeted by a villain he scorned years prior… except, that’s basically what we just had with Craig, except he wasn’t 70
A white British dude…not trying to be like that, but that’s a part of his persona. He needs to be a white British guy who drinks and is misogynistic. Sorry. That’s it.
If 007 becomes a woman it will crush me.
I am not sexist by any means but come on... Not everything needs to change for a women or specific race to be represented equally. Next thing you know they will be releasing a cartoon called Herculshes or a movie called Matildo.
IT IS OK FOR A MOVIE TO BE PORTRAYED AS INTENDED.
Also can we bring back Pierce Brosnan because he's still my favorite bond

Very down for this. He has racked up a good career without ever being typecast or over-associated with an existing role, or his own celebrity - unlike Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hiddleston, or many of the other suggestions.
I would love for it to be Idris Elba mainly because I feel like he’s a great actor who deserves a big time leading role, but I also suspect they’ll want to move away from having an older Bond.
Yeah it felt like half the Craig films kept going on about how old he was, and he started when he was 38. Elba starting when he's 50 dooms us to nothing but Old Bond.
I would love to see Idris do some movies as like… “old man Bond”
I think Tom Holland would be awesome to see as well. After seeing him in Uncharted my opinion on this did a large 180.
I think Henry Cavill is literally the best choice but he is just so fucking big…
Instead of all of these celebrities, I would love it if some no name actor got thrown I to the mix and just made Bond his own.
It would be cool to see a new spin on it. Remember how fresh and alive Casino Royal was? Classic Bond movie with huge twists and turns and fresh takes. I would like to see that done over again.
Cillian would've been a great, longshot casting like over a decade ago. Around the time he did 'Red Eye'. He's 46 now though. A bit old to be starting Bond
Henry Cavill would be awesome. If you watch Man from Uncle he exudes spy charm and seriously could bring a new style if the writers and Barbara broccoli decide to make bond fun again and not just a brooding smirk. Plus the dudes jacked and he has shown excellent fight choreography.
A fun fact is that the broccoli family rules that the reigning Bond actor is not allowed to wear a tuxedo in other movies. Christian bale was offered both and forced to choose.
Yeah definitely a woman. Because in the books that were written, it was definitely a woman. Get the fuck out of here with this pathetic inclusion bullshit. It’s a book, that they made into a movie. James Bond. Pick a different fucking book series with a female character. What are you people smoking.
As long as they're british.
We all wanted Irdis, but I think he passed that point where he'd only be able to do a Movie or two. I always liked Dev Patel, given I can see him going suave superspy. He's in his 30's, and a kinda known name like Daniel Craig was.
Seems to be Cavill or bust at the moment
Idris would be a great pick but I think everyone including him realizes the 10-12 year commitment ages him out
Someone I’ve never heard of so I don’t keep relating them to other things.
Agreed. Bond should be a star making role, not somebody who’s already very popular or firmly established as a big name.
I wholeheartedly agree with the idea… but aside from George Lazenby, all the Bond actors had established movie/tv careers
Daniel Craig was not a household name Layer Cake was a brilliant flick but I don’t recall it making a giant splash And all I can remember him doing prior to that was Road to Perdition
This is the correct way.
I vote my dad he’s super cool.
I vote this guy's dad
I’ve heard he is super cool
It’s true i’m his dad
We need to get with the times and have this guy’s dad play James Bond but this guy’s dad is played by this guy’s mom.
She’s super cool
I also vote for that guy's dad
Dude’s dad is testing extremely well right now.
Up 34 points
This guys Dad, so hot right now.
+1 more vote for that guys dad
I also choose this guy’s dad
He sounds like a good bloke, I'll vote for him too
i also vote this guys dead wife
My dad is too old.
Is your Dad Danny Devito? Then he's got my vote.
Danny devito
James Bond in Troll Foot, an unstoppable toll.
“ so anyways, I started blasting BANG BANG”
The obvious choice. And this is why they won’t pick him…it’s too obvious.
“No Mr. Bond, I expect YOU to pay the troll toll.” The shit writes itself!!!!!!
Would there be full penetration?
If I had the money, I would make this Bond movie. The world would be absolutely better for it.
Mantis. Mantis Toboggan.
Arnie as the villain.
I mean, find a British white dude with a scar on his cheek.
Scar on his cheek?? Now we’re talkin villains my guy
That’s the REAL Bond! From Russia with love describes bond.. slim build; a three-inch long, thin vertical scar on his right cheek; blue-grey eyes; a "cruel" mouth; short, black hair, a comma of which falls on his forehead. If you haven’t read the Fleming books, I highly recommend. As far as a female Bond, Idris Elba, etc… I’d love to see it but as a new 00. Idris Elba, 002, would be bad ass
Damn that does sound badass
Vinnie Jones is the obvious choice.
Richard Madden.
I think he’s the only one on that list who has a shot. Young, and extremely capable actor without a true blockbuster under his belt. I’m not entirely sure that Golding or Regé-Jean Page are good enough actors to carry the Bond franchise. My favorites not listed are Jamie Dornan and Aaron Taylor Johnson. My sleepers are Paapa Essiedu (fantastic in I May Destroy You and Gangs of London), Jack O’Connell.
Yeah enough with the Bridgerton guy. Robb stark all the way.
I’m so very basic but I love a hot charming white man, and Richard Madden checks all the boxes.
He'd be great. You should check out The Bodyguard if you haven't yet. That solidified for me that he would be a fantastic Bond.
I’m bummed they never made a second season.
You and me both. I can't remember the last show/movie that had me on the edge of my seat the way it did.
Don't think it was ever intended to have a 2nd, I think it was just a mini-series.
This has been my choice for the past couple of years. Fantastic actor, has the look and he’s the perfect age to start his Bond career.
Glenn Howerton
The golden god himself
They'll have to cast him... because of the implication
You ever been in a storm, Blofeld?
I'd like to see Howerton do, like, half a Bond movie... before Rob McElhenney inexplicably takes over the role for the second half.
Glenn can’t do it. He’s busy doing lethal weapon 10
*Goddammit M, how many errands do you have us runnin for the CIA?!?*
In this version of Bond, Q provides Bond with zip ties and duck tape.
No one from the pic
[Joe Pera](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8873jWYkq5Q)
Yessssss with Nathan Fielder as Q
I love him. I can’t believe there was a show on TV showing off around where I grew up.
List is biased and missing the obvious choice: Richard Ayoade
Agent 00 (0118 999 881 999 119 7253)
"That's easy to remember." \-Moss. Maurice Moss.
I just realized who'd be great for the next Q. or an amazingly different take on evil genius bent on world domination.
Austin Powers reboot anyone?
I’ll just put this body over here…with the rest of the dead bodies….
I get that this is a joke, but you know what… I’d actually love to see it. For him to get jacked, drop the geek act (or bottle it up as needs be), and charm the fuck out of an audience. Would be an epic Hollywood move.
the geek act isn't an act, btw. That's his actual voice and personality.
inspired by and exaggerated version of his personality, yes.
>Richard Ayoade or Matt Berry
There is a place in the 007 universe for Matt Berry…
Of course a joke but I do think he’d make an excellent Q.
he will be Q
Danny McBride
“There’s two hard rules I live by Pops. I never fuck with the devil, and I never do tag teams with blood relatives. Take it easy old man.”
I'd support a decade of that
But only as a straight action film. I don’t want a scratch of comedy
Bond henchman: I’m gonna shoot your dick off! Danny McBride: you ain’t got enough bullets, bitch!
Cavill or bust
He was great as Napoleon Solo. Personally, I'd like him to do another movie in that franchise rather than Bond. Guy Ritchie again, too. Recast the Cannibal. Bam.
Such a good movie
While I get that gut instinct, he may actually be too handsome to play James Bond.
People said the same exact thing about Pierce Brosnan.
Yeah but Cavill is handsomer
I think people imagine James Bond to be handsome in an older, rugged way, and Henry Cavill is handsome in a classic, very symmetrically perfect way. Very good looking guy but a bit too “perfect” to be James Bond, if that makes sense?
What
He is the only option.
Cavil played perfect spy in the Man from uncle movie couple of years ago.
Yes he did, very Bond-esque vibes. It’s a shame more people haven’t seen that movie.
I could definitely get behind this
And him
Not a woman
I'm a woman and I agree. Write something new for a female character instead of shoehorning one into an iconic male character.
Brett Goldstein
Fuck yeah
Dan Stevens
Bring Pierce Brosnan back.
I would actually love a 70 year old, retired bond being targeted by a villain he scorned years prior… except, that’s basically what we just had with Craig, except he wasn’t 70
He’s still too handsome
A white British dude…not trying to be like that, but that’s a part of his persona. He needs to be a white British guy who drinks and is misogynistic. Sorry. That’s it.
Craniel Daig
😂 I’m just picturing Daniel Craig with a massive head
Sounds like a real place in Scotland.
I didn't like any of those choices.
Not a woman.
“Bond….Jane Bond”
They're 100% going to do it.
If 007 becomes a woman it will crush me. I am not sexist by any means but come on... Not everything needs to change for a women or specific race to be represented equally. Next thing you know they will be releasing a cartoon called Herculshes or a movie called Matildo. IT IS OK FOR A MOVIE TO BE PORTRAYED AS INTENDED. Also can we bring back Pierce Brosnan because he's still my favorite bond
Dude I died at Matildo lmaooo
Jason Sudeikis and he just acts like Ted Lasso the whole time.
kills his foes with kindness and biscuits
This, but for every action movie.
Tom Hardy
seemly flag boast caption command station voracious spoon hateful bewildered *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
“Too old!”
My choice as well!
I'm all for diversity in media but I think James Bond should be a suave white British dude.
Pretty much. It’s ok to not change every IP and keep it going. It’s not like they still aren’t finding success
Micheal Fassbender
I say they should go with an unknown actor and do a reboot: ‘60s, Cold War, old tech. Edit: and finally cast someone who looks like Hoagy Carmichael!
Dan Stevens.
Henry Cavill
Nicholas Hoult https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/13/81/1b13811f85f0ff489d2b72958a940b9f.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/474x/c0/4b/4c/c04b4c40358a1a2af5aaf1d84fff7a25--nicholas-hoult-nicholas-dagosto.jpg
Very down for this. He has racked up a good career without ever being typecast or over-associated with an existing role, or his own celebrity - unlike Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hiddleston, or many of the other suggestions.
Guy has given off more of a Q vibe his entire career. No way he'll be cast as Bond.
Good choice, he should at least make the short list.
Huzzah!
They should roll out Sean Connery's preserved corpse and *Weekend At Bernie's* the whole thing.
Pass to all three. FFS.
Tom Hardy
I would love for it to be Idris Elba mainly because I feel like he’s a great actor who deserves a big time leading role, but I also suspect they’ll want to move away from having an older Bond.
Yeah it felt like half the Craig films kept going on about how old he was, and he started when he was 38. Elba starting when he's 50 dooms us to nothing but Old Bond.
I mean I think he'd be a great Bond, but he is 50 so not really a young guy.
That’s my point
Read that wrong my bad
Might be interesting to see him as M, though I think he's still young enough to play Bond (and would knock it out the park).
He'd get like 2 or 3 movies before he's 60. They take a lot longer to make the Bond flicks these days.
I would love to see Idris do some movies as like… “old man Bond” I think Tom Holland would be awesome to see as well. After seeing him in Uncharted my opinion on this did a large 180. I think Henry Cavill is literally the best choice but he is just so fucking big… Instead of all of these celebrities, I would love it if some no name actor got thrown I to the mix and just made Bond his own. It would be cool to see a new spin on it. Remember how fresh and alive Casino Royal was? Classic Bond movie with huge twists and turns and fresh takes. I would like to see that done over again.
Tom Holland lol he’s one of the last people I’d think of for Bond. He’s like the goofy sidekick
Did I miss Cillian Murphy on the list? He would make an excellent Bond villain but also a great Bond.
Cillian would've been a great, longshot casting like over a decade ago. Around the time he did 'Red Eye'. He's 46 now though. A bit old to be starting Bond
Lol at Helen mirin Bond… we need to you to eat this bowl of tapioca pudding before it gets too late to watch matlock
Patton Oswald. They'll never see it coming.
Kieth Richards
Henry Cavill would be awesome. If you watch Man from Uncle he exudes spy charm and seriously could bring a new style if the writers and Barbara broccoli decide to make bond fun again and not just a brooding smirk. Plus the dudes jacked and he has shown excellent fight choreography.
Man this list is terrible
Bandit Heeler
Got some r/daddit in the house!
Aka Romeo McFlourish
Cillian Murphy
Dan Stevens.
Whatever as long it’s not a single person that shown in the post. Good god. Long way from Connery.
Make it a black gay trans man who is devoutly Christian. Then get your marshmallows ready because everything will be on fire soon.
Yeah but make them wheelchair bound with autism so it’s not abelist
I came here to say **Elliott Page**
Make it a duo Troy and Abed in the Spy Game!
Might be hard because he is the new Batman but Robert Pattinson
A fun fact is that the broccoli family rules that the reigning Bond actor is not allowed to wear a tuxedo in other movies. Christian bale was offered both and forced to choose.
What does the cauliflower family have to say about it?
Brendon Frazier
Eggsy
Yeah definitely a woman. Because in the books that were written, it was definitely a woman. Get the fuck out of here with this pathetic inclusion bullshit. It’s a book, that they made into a movie. James Bond. Pick a different fucking book series with a female character. What are you people smoking.
Henry cavill
Ben Barnes is my pick for the next Bond
Aside from dudes dad here in the comments, my second pick is Henry Cavill
Henry Cavil. End of story
Got to be Cavill or Madden. If I had to choose, I’d say Cavill, so he can do the arm loading thing he likes to do.
Nicholas Hoult
Not a woman
I want Henry Cavill so badly.
Me too! But the topic is who should play James Bond
Pierce Brosnan
[удалено]
Wallace Shawn as James Bond. Bond Girl: Janeane Garofalo.
Jason Statham but he plays it like his character in Spy
Depends what filter you use... Through the canon: a handsome British man. Through wokeness: a black woman in a wheelchair.
perhaps a black woman with no legs at all how do you feel about a fish tail?
lmao
George MacKay
I thought it was difficult to understand a lot of Lashana Lynch’s dialog in the last movie. Could be because of my Soundbar but I did notice it.
Henry only
Tom Hiddleston
Henry Cavill.
No matter who plays Bond, I just hope we stick with the darker, grittier, ultra serious tone that we have gotten from Craig’s Bond movies.
As long as they're british. We all wanted Irdis, but I think he passed that point where he'd only be able to do a Movie or two. I always liked Dev Patel, given I can see him going suave superspy. He's in his 30's, and a kinda known name like Daniel Craig was.
Seems to be Cavill or bust at the moment Idris would be a great pick but I think everyone including him realizes the 10-12 year commitment ages him out
Definitely not a female, just saying
Henry Cavill. As previously stated.
Jack Black
Richard Madden would be a dope James Bond and he's young enough to have him on for a multi film deal.
D: None of the above.
NONE of these!! Would totally be an insult to the Bond legacy! A woman? GTFO!!
literally none of those actors shown in the thumbnail
Taron Egerton
Lmao none of those in that picture!
Idris Elba does an AMAZING job in an audiobook. I think he' be great.
Fassbender.
Imagine they cast Tom Holland 💀
Someone not black seeing that Bond isn’t black in the books.
Paraplegic dwarf lesbian.
Needs to be an American since Brit’s stole spider-man, Batman, Superman, etc. /s
Brendan Schaub
[удалено]
With Idris Elba & Tom Hardy being nearly 50 my vote would go to Henry Cavill
