So following today's big news, I thought why not give this another shot. I added a few names too

(Previous thread here)

Joe Cole

Theo James

Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Tom Hiddleston

Richard Madden

 

[SJRB]

Gonna throw a curveball and say Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

I know Henry is the obvious choice for many and I have no problems with him but I really think Aaron Taylor-Johnson would absolutely crush it as Bond.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

 

[Walter Matthau]

Idres Elba would have been perfect about 10 or maybe even 5 years ago. He'd still work out fine for a few movies, but ideally you'd want to cast someone young enough where they're in near peak athletic shape while still being old enough that it's believable they've acquired enough world experience to deal with whatever task is at hand.

Somewhere around 40 is probably the ideal age for someone you'd want to cast to stay in the role for the next 15-20 years.

 

[poppabk]

Tom Hardy would be a pretty cool choice 10 years ago, now he is starting to age out.

Are there two John Boyegas or is he getting his vote split deliberately

Anyhoo, as far as I'm concerned James Bond is ALWAYS a cishet white male. His entire core character is "ole england" and I just don't think you can properly address that with any POC character or a female.

That said, I'm 100% OPEN to a "00 Bureau" show/film series that follows OTHER 00 agents of various types.

But Bond.....100% straight white english dude, Moneypenny is a flirty secretary, M is cranky at him, and Q is exasperated with him. Thats what I want when I give up my time for a Bond film and that is the only thing that I will accept. If you want an asian 00 agent (which makes a TON of sense given the british involvement in SE asia) have him/her be 004 (with the 'death' connotation) and go at it. Girl agent films are pretty hit or miss (mostly miss) but again, the right actress can pull it off. If you just look at the demographics, black brits are less than 1 in 20 people, and less than 1 in 100 military officers (where presumably MI6 pulls a lot of their assassins). Despite the BBC making it seem like England is 50% black, it just ain't so.

 

[DKehoe]

James Bond will return in...Chat Shit Get Banged

 

[KyoZz]

Ah shit, and I can't remove the second one

 

[Melon Husk]

Angela Lansbury

 

[bitbydeath]

Nicholas Hoult

 

[Badlucktroll]

I bet ralph fiennes will come back as the new bonds m

 

[March Climber]

Theo James literally checks all boxes except for one, which is his age (he is 40).

Here's a quick video of him talking:



I hear Bond.

Out, purely for his fucking stupid comments wanting kitchen knives to be blunt.

 

[daffyduck]

 

[bitbydeath]

Voting needs an ‘Other’ option.

 

[Soodanim]

Ah shit, and I can't remove the second one

So he gets to lose the poll twice

 

[Trogdor1123]

Madden or Hardy….

Or …

The best Michael Jordan! He was in space jam! It’s the next logical step.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I think Theo James would be the best fit. From a business perspective he's known but not so known that people will see HIM instead of Bond (unlike if someone like Elba took the role.)

I know that's something they've looked for in the past.

I think Hardy could probably pull it off too since he doesn't really play "Tom Hardy" in every role.

 

[Billbofet]

Theo James seems like the best choice, but only if he has a Prime membership.

 

[bender]

Nick Cage

 

[IntentionalPun]

I REALLLLY don't think Jordan/Murphy should be included. Being not British instantly disqualifies anyone.

 

[dorkimoe]

someone not an A list star

 

[IDKFA]

Ideally somebody who can pull off the character from Ian Fleming's novels.

They should be British to start off with. I also don't want to see a pussy, beta male Bond. No, we need the ultra masculine "I'll fuck any women with a pulse" action hero, James Bond.

Amazon productions are hit and miss. If they respect the source material then we'll be fine. If they go in a different direction to "subvert expectations" then it will fail.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Who the hell said Tom Holland?

 

[diffusionx]

Watch it be the black dr who guy

They're also going to make him gay

 

[AJUMP23]

Hugh Laurie.

 

[bitbydeath]

Who the hell said Tom Holland?

All the choices are kinda shit.
Poll needs an ‘Other’ option.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

All the choices are kinda shit.
Poll needs an ‘Other’ option.

You heathen! Henry Cavill is on there

The Bond we need.

 

[KyoZz]

All the choices are kinda shit.

Added 2 choices: Another actor or An unknow one. Also you can now change your vote!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Who it should be: Henry Cavill

Who we're probably going to get because it's Amazon: Zendaya

Thank you!

 

[Coconutt]

TimoCan't Believe you forgot the homie Timothee chalamet fr fr lisan al gaib

 

[bitbydeath]

You heathen! Henry Cavill is on there

The Bond we need.

I don’t think he’s British enough.

 

[Ikutachi]

Sean Bean with AI de-aging.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Michael B. Jordan should play Blade.

Henry Cavill - If they could get him to match his character from Mission Impossible then i'm pretty sure he'll pass it off as James Bond "hopefully".

 

[ReBurn]

Let that dude from Kingsman do it. I don't know his name.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Honestly, Dwayne Johnson (The Rock). Have him trim down to 225 and give him a quality toupee and I think they could get 2 solid Bond films out of him. He might be Roger Moore old but he can still play 40 years old pretty well.

 

[Chittagong]

Can we get Peter Dinklage on the vote pls, thx

 

[The Skull]

Would have loved Idris but I think he's too old now. Cavill it is.

 

[Windle Poons]

Nah. Not old man Steptoe.

 

[Brigandier]

It can only be the best martial artist and action super star in existence.... The one and only Steven Seagal!!!

 

[T8SC]

Robbie Williams obviously.

 

[Paasei]

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Where are the woman options?

Think of all the action and explosions! And that would be just from the intro scene where she tries to park her car.

 

[RagnarokIV]

First off, nobody who's black. No women.

Secondly, an unknown or low profile actor.

If only 'big names' then I vote for ROBERT PATRICK (THE BATMAN).

 

[Ironbunny]

You heathen! Henry Cavill is on there

The Bond we need.

Naah, let him spend hes time with warhammer.

 

[Neff]

Judi Dench

 

[Peggies]

Tom Hardy!

 

[freefornow]

Pleased to see that Hemsworth hasn't got 1 vote. Just no!

There can be only one!
As confirmed by current tally.
