The name is Bond....
Jump to: Newest in thread
....Idris Elba has seemingly now quashed rumours that he will be taking on the iconic role, stating that he merely played along with the ongoing buzz.
So.....who SHOULD be the next Bond?
Also, who has been your favourite up until now? |

Honestly I think Henry Caville would make a good bond if he can do a good English accent. Get back to the suarve days of bond with gadgets too. I find Daniel Craig's bond boring and just like any other action film |

Daniel Craig as his version of Casino Royale is my fave Bond film so far.
I’d like Jude Law.
He’d need to work on his combat skills but he’s a good actor and very handsome  although at 45 he may be a bit old now. |

He is English so he’s had years of practice. |

I am so sad that Idris won't be playing the new bond. He's just so bloody gorgeous!!
I'm not entirely sure who I would like to play the new bond. I'm going to go with Hugh Jackman because I just like him on my screen.
As for my favourite, Sean Connery is my favourite but pierce Brosnan was bloody sexy as bond!

Henry Caville
He is 35 so he wont look like a dirty old man with the women and can do 4 or 5 bond films. He has said he wants to do it. He said his stunt training on superman/mission impossible would allow him to do the stunts himself. He wants to be a high impact super aggressive Bond with big stunts.
Idris would have been good 10 years ago, but there is a fine line between pulling off a playboy and a dirty old man.
Daniel Craig is the worst bond. He looks like a handbag put through the wash for 50 years old. He is creepy when flirting, his action scenes are terrible, and the scripts have been awful. He has handed the crown over to Mission Impossible as the fun, action film to go see, and he should be ashamed. His flirting consists of following sex slaves into the shower quietly without a word having sex with them... He catches the top hacker on the planet with a radio in the heel of his shoe? Its just weird, creepy, and total nonsense. Also it rages me out that he failed his mission and gets welcomed back to mi6 despite getting the head of mi6 killed??????
Disobeying orders and failing the mission???
Anyway his films are crap
Who was the best?
Probably Roger Moore.
Sean connery was great but he messed about with that unoffical bond that takes him down a step.
Dalton was great, did a mean, realistic Bond but only did two.
Lazenby was a bit strange but good, and only did one so its very hard to place him high.
That leaves us with Brosnan, who did 4, and had a great run, and had some great films and of course had the most success from a Bond Game, so he would have to be either 2 or 3. |

Bond was in his 50’s in the books if I recall, blonde with a scar on his face.
I think Tom Hiddleston is a good shout, would need to put some beef on though |

Ha! I had no idea, I've only ever seen him do American accents or the 'transatlantic' English. Just assumed he was American. Point still stands though, he'd make a great bond, you only need to watch 'the man from uncle', to see it |

Sean Connery, the bench mark for all other bonds
George Lazenby, forgettable
Roger Moore, laughable
Timothy Dalton, ok, but looked like he would bust into tears any moment
Pierce Brosnan, credible Bond
Daniel Craig, wooden, but brought the hard edge to Bond with his dead emotionless eyes |

"Tom hardy would make the best bond
To short.
He's virtually same height as Craig.
Craig is 30mm taller.
What's a few millimetres amongst friends lol."
You tell that to the women on here !  |

"Whos the one that plays younger Magneto. I pick him 
Micheal fassbender i agree"
 Another vote for Fassbender from me. He's got quite an intensity to his acting that would mirror Sean Connery's. |

People say Tom Hardy just because he's good looking, he's not suited at all to play bond, unless you want the next generation of bond to just be your stereotypical 'hard man', I like Tom Hardy but he's pretty much only good at playing psychopaths and tough guys.
Fassbender could be interesting and he is a very good actor but I'm sticking with Caville as my pick |

I agree with your opinions regarding Hardy. He is awesome and can put his hand to many roles but not Bond!
I do love the idea of Fassbender, he has the sexual brooding down but far too used to seeing him in roles where he is often a victim of angst. Not very Bond.
Caville may well be a good bond!

"Sam Robertson ( Adam Barlow in Corrie ) I think may make a good James Bond.Best Bond for me has to be Sean Connery "
Ooooh yes to Sam! He is gorgeous, dark and handsome and has the cockiness too but not sure he has the acting skills for such a big role.

I'm with the Tom Hardy shouts.
I've been thinking this ever since his performance as the Kray twins. Great actor and has the looks, phyisicality and ability to believably go from charming to deadly. |

"I'd really like to see Damien Lewis as Bond. "
Good shout
Henry Cavill also in the running.
Sorry to all the Tom fans out there, I’m not convinced he has the look for Bond. |

. I thought I better mention his Corrie character in case anyone wasn’t certain who I was talking about.He may have to shave the beard off but I think he has a certain tough guy look to perhaps carry off the role. |

I think Tom Hardy could maybe play a Jason Bourne, but he's not suited for bond |

Tom hardy would be fab and though he has a reputation for playing psychos - Bronson, mad max fury road, pesky blinders, etc there is no one quite like him for brooding intensity and physical presence. He was very good in tinker tailor soldier spy too.
Tom hiddleston is asexual and boring.
Henry Cavill could pull it off but I think we might have a return to old school jokey bond - check his napoleon solo.
Idris would have been amazing twenty years ago - he was fantastic in the wire.
So...the winner is Michael Fassbender, tall, manly, intense, predatory, and he could fill the Daniel Craig angst requirements.
Sean was always the best though....such a sexy manly man. I met him once when I was a kid and he had presence in spades! |

True story, Sean Connery was in a bar a good few years ago & we were in the same establishment having a drink Sean came over at the bar & we got chatting , one of the lads with us said “ hey Sean who was the best shag you’ve had ? “ & he politely said “ come on lads I’m out with my wife “ so we left it at that . At the end of the evening we noticed Sean walking towards us he just lent forward to us and in his quiet voice said ........ smiled and walked off , absolutely quality |

"I hope who ever they choose develops the edgy side of the character. Please let’s not go back to corny smoothies like Roger Moore. "
This. ^
I like Daniel Craig's Bond, a much more gritty portrayal.

"Stop the press....Jude Law step aside i’ve changed my mind to Luke Evans
He is Welsh and he’s gorgeous.
 "
Great call with Luke Evans
Despite the film being sub par, he was great in Dracula Untold and hammed it up (suitably) to glory as Gaston in Beauty And The Beast.
He’d be a great Bond; There’s an air of menace to his looks and he certainly has an imposing presence.

Update: Aiden Turner (presently hotly tipped for the role) is on record as stating that he will look into playing Bond when Craig steps down.
The fifth and apparently final series of Poldark is being filmed right now so he’ll certainly be free to peruse new roles afterwards.
Not only that, but prior to passing, Sir Roger Moore gave his opinion that Aiden should indeed get the role (high praise indeed!)
Now.....how about Jack Farthing (George Warleggan) as the villain? |

I think Tom Hardy would make the better Bond I d definitly go to the cinema to watch it. I who ever it is they need a good script and director its a shame Danny Boyle quit, the last few films have all been disappointing since Casino Royale
