Movie Who should be the next Bond?

[Ice-Wolf]

Taron Egerton might be an option except for his height (5'9) but you could probably work around that easily enough and perhaps his role in The Kingsmen films working against him.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson might be another option if going towards the younger end. He a known name but not too famous.

Jack Huston but he hasn't really been able to pull off a starring role.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Basically they must be British, Irish or Commonwealth so John Krasinski and Scott Eastwood as Americans aren't eligible

but why?

 

[vast]

Id go for Cavill out of the obvious choices just because he was basically bond in the Man from Uncle (good film btw).

But he has also signed on the play the lead in a movie called Argylle about a spy of the same name being directed by Matthew Vauhgn.

" Vaughn described the film as his ode to 1980s action thrillers like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. When asked about casting Cavill, he said: "I needed someone who was born to play Bond — which Henry is — and then nick him before Bond did. He plays a larger-than-life action hero with a wink. It's very different from Kingsman."[12] "

 

[00Stinger]

They will probably say he is too old now, but perfect choice imo

100% agree

If they want diversity than go no further than this guy.

 

[jackn]

but why?

Because for some very strange reason the op has decided James Bond can be played by a woman but not an American putting on an accent.

Probably too old but if they want the same direction but younger could always give John Boyega a call. (That's what Pacific Rim 2 did )

Richard Madden was brilliant in Bodyguard. I think he would be great choice to carry the franchise for next 10-15 years.

I can understand people having a cry about opening up the role to a woman, but the bitching about not being able to choose an American has got me scratching my head.

Name an American that can convincingly pull off playing a brit, even Canadians with British parents struggle (looking at you Keanu Reeves )

 

[Ice-Wolf]

but why?

Because they are American duh!

A little short at 5'10 ish but not too short to be able to work around it.

Most spies are manlets anyway so being that short would add to the realism

Yeah but Bond is traditionally tall/above average.

 

[JackOutback]

Daniel Craig is 5'10

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Daniel Craig is 5'10

Yeah and I'd said that that is still a height where you can work around it so it isn't a big problem. But say 5'7 etc would be too short.

 

[Strange Cat]

Daniel Craig is 5'10

The more you know

Too Old! If we're going older Canadian comedians then surely Rick Moranis would be a better option.

Renée Zellweger is ticking all the boxes.

Name an American that can convincingly pull off playing a brit, even Canadians with British parents struggle (looking at you Keanu Reeves )

Name a female actor than can convincingly pull of playing seine called James Bond...

And Peter dinklage. Might not meet the age criteria though.

Hate to say it but he's going to struggle on the height too.

Yeah except for being too old, too short and being an American putting on an accent.

's application for the James Bond apprenticeship program. 35 in a few months. Brit-familiar. Has the clay to mould.
