Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

[Morrus]

Madden would be perfect, but word is they don't want to cast him because he's gay.

Where'd you hear that? I had heard he's bordering on the upper age limit.

 

[Kaodi]

If you going to make a female James Bond movie then just give us Nomi. She is right there.

Boyega might be a good bet. He will be thirty three next month so he has the potential for a decent run of films, which gives him an edge on the likes of Henry Golding or Lewis Tan, both of whom are thirty eight. Though they do have that whole "My father was from Scotland but my mother was Swiss," thing going on like the original Bond.

I really like Tom Holland, but I do not think I want to see him as Bond. Egerton is a good actor, but I am not sure I am desperate to see him in the role either. None of this is to say I am against them going with another fully European actor but none of the people mentioned really grab me even if they could possibly handle it. And Kraven just makes me go, "Ew."

 

[Ryujin]

I never really understood actors who did that. Like Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to die in RotJ (he didn't get his way that time, but he did in TFA). It's not like there's a law that if your character isn't dead, you can be forced against your will to play them again. Frogmarched to the studio and forced to sign up for another film. You can still stop, and new people can take over the role. Everybody else did it.

It might be a flex so that they'll be the last <character> ever. Close out the franchise.

At one point I thought Michelle Yeoh would have been great for it... but she has a decade on Idris Elba.

Nobody's gonna just stop a billion dollar franchise when they have the option of not stopping the billion dollar franchise, because they like having billions of dollars. There is no chance Craig thought he had the power to cancel Bond forever and cost the Broccolis billions of dollars on a flex whim. That's just silly. It's like me just giving away my house! Or more, my decorator thinking they can give away my house.

No, of course not, but that doesn't stop them from perhaps believing it

Jane Bond?

Cast Karen Gillan. Jane Pond!

 

[nyvinter]

James Bond is called into some kind of witness protection program and is replaced by another agent and that one is played by Walton Goggins.

::laughs in Tom Cruise::

I assume that the Associated Press has pre-written Cruise's obit and only has to fill in what stunt he died doing on the set of which movie. Beats the alternative, I guess.

 

[Warpiglet-7]

Rowan Atkinson. Final answer.
