OT Who Should The Next James Bond Be?

[Chris Craig]

My very distant cousin Daniel Craig is holstering his Walther PPK for good. He's starred as James Bond in five 007 movies (Casino Royal, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time To Die which is out in theaters next month).

There is a lot of talk about who will replace Craig as Bond. Here are the current aggregated odds from US bookies.

Tom Hardy: 9/4
Regé-Jean Page: 16/5
James Norton: 11/2
Clive Standen: 7/1
Lashana Lynch: 9/1
Idris Elba: 9/1
Sam Heughan: 19/2
Henry Cavill: 10/1
Justin Hartley: 14/1
Richard Madden: 20/1

Who do you think should be the next 007?

*Lynch replaces a retired Craig as 007 in No Time To Die

I think it should Idris Elba or Tom Hardy

 

[Chris Craig]

Someone not mentioned who would make a good James Bond: Alexander Skarsgard

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[riverman]

Tom Hardy or Clive Owen.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Voted Henry Cavill.

 

[tlongII]

Me.

 

[riverman]

Voted Henry Cavill.

He'd be great but he's overexposed being Superman and the Witcher already....

 

[Natebishop3]

Voted Henry Cavill.

Fuck. Yes.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll do it!

 

[HailBlazers]

 

[andalusian]

Maybe we need a female 007. Emily Blunt would be fantastic... she was great kicking ass in Sicario

 

[Chris Craig]

An American James Bond?

 

[Chris Craig]

Tom Hardy or Clive Owen.

Clive Owen would be good. More of a Timothy Dalton feel. Getting a little old though. Wouldn't be able to do a lot of movies as Bond.




Tom Hardy yes all the way

 

[Chris Craig]

Voted Henry Cavill.

Cavill would be good. Has Superman ruined his chances though?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Maybe we need a female 007. Emily Blunt would be fantastic... she was great kicking ass in Sicario

She can still bang all the Bond girls!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Cavill would be good. Has Superman ruined his chances though?

He seems too stocky I guess. I don't know, I liked him in the last Mission Impossible

Sean Connery was Mr Universe

But, yeah Cavill would be the most beasted out bond ever.

[SheedSoNasty]

Steve Carrell just so that he could use “looks like we’re going to need a cleanup on aisle five”

 

[julius]

Henry gets my vote. Tom Hardy looks too much like Shia Labooooof.

*Lynch replaces a retired Craig as 007 in No Time To Die

I think it should Idris Elba or Tom Hardy

I'm hoping for Sean Connery. Of course, he won't be able to run as fast or be as strong unless you mean strong smelling.

 

[THE HCP]

Michael B. Jordan

 

[noknobs]

My vote continues to be Jeff Goldblum.

 

[barfo]

Michael B. Jordan

Nah, the other Michael Jordan:

 

[riverman]

Jason Isaac would be great in the role but he's played so many villains it'd be a hard sell ..Sean Bean would be the same..
Russell Crowe would be good but he'd have to lose about 90 lbs first...
Hugh Jackman would also make a good Bond

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Sean bean was literally a bond villain

 

[e_blazer]

I'll do it!

I prefer my Bonds shaken, not neutered.

 

[e_blazer]

Shake up the stereotype a bit and go with Benedict Cumberbatch.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I prefer my Bonds shaken, not neutered.

DAMN YOU!
