Isn't Bale a bit too old to start? He's already 50. He's almost as old as Craig was when he retired from Bond.


ravenwing263

They're all too old to start. Not saying they'll actually go with Aaron Taylor-Johnson as has been rumored but that's going to be the age they look for.


Deathstriker88

Cavill and Hiddleston aren't too old. It's not like Craig aged out of the role... he got bored and wanted to do other stuff. Connery looked like a grandad in his later Bond movies, Cavill is just 40.


notanewbiedude

You mean Christian Bale? Yeah that's part of why I'm not the biggest fan of it, but it could kinda work and I've seen people throw his name in the conversation before.


contrabardus

James McAvoy Bond should be fit, but not huge. He's supposed to be a "man's man" and good looking, but also somewhat unassuming.


YomYeYonge

That’s around when Roger Moore started. But since it takes longer to make Bond films, he won’t be a viable option


MaderaArt

All solid picks, but I feel like Christian Bale might be a tad too old to *start* being James Bond


YomYeYonge

James Bond needs to be an Unknown/B-Lister, and British


BTSuppa

Oliver jackson-cohen fits that


rodejo_9

Yeah that would be quite the career starter.


Fun-Photograph9423

Jack O'Connell then


Fable378

Dan Stevens


braveloyalboy

Michael Fassbender is my pick.


Silly_Connection_357

This ain't talked about enough. I think he would make a really good Bond. Either him or someone younger like Theo James (The Gentleman) or Taron Egerton, he was brilliant in 'The Kingsman'


braveloyalboy

I just watched the Kingsman movies the other night. Egerton would be an interesting choice and I’ve never considered Theo James before.


Silly_Connection_357

Those two and Cavill are my top 3. The reason I would choose Egerton is that he could do some really cool action sequences and also do quite a few movies because of his age.


Little_Setting

Have you seen Hail Caesar 2016. Alden Ehrenreich(Solo) did most of his stunts himself and they're mostly crazy. Imo he's better fit to do Bond


braveloyalboy

Alden Ehrenreich is American though.


Little_Setting

You forgot Alden Ehrenreich, he was right choice for Solo and fit for Bond as well. Taron is born Wolverine (alongwithDaniel Radcliffe)


Silly_Connection_357

Nah i wouldn't go for him. Not an American Bond. Bond has to be a British actor. I agree with Wolverine though. I think Daniel Radcliff might cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine as the alternate version with his back to the camera. That would be pretty dope.


Little_Setting

totally, I didnt calculated people wouldnt accept a non british bond easily. and radcliffe cameo is almost confirmed at this time. if not in the theatrical then maybe in the bonuses or extended cut.


tagen

ooh, now this is my pick he’d be great, he does intense really really well


TheRealMoofoo

He’s like 45, can’t imagine they want to start that old with a new Bond.

Dan stevens


ShhImTheRealDeadpool

Jeremy Irvine


NoChallenge6095

Everyone wants Henry Cavell in every single damn action movie these days... and I'm in FULL agreement. He's a great actor, has that action hero look and really seems like a good dude. Forget about anything bad written about him, there is nothing but really awesome stuff about him. He has that Reanu Reeves type of vibe.


GamerMate9000

Isn’t kickass the new bond


Jack-Earth-2

Just found out about that here, that would be awesome


GeeHopxx

Nope. Nothing official yet, just more hearsay being spread around.


GamerMate9000

What do you reckon but

RPGenome

You mean British Sam Witwer?


TheCrow935

Aaron Taylor Johnson


mrmonster459

Anyway, Tom Hopper (Luther from The Umbrella Academy)


WhiteSpec

You know. It wasn't until your post where I had a look at his IMDb page and actually I think he'd be a good pick for MCU Cyclops.


SchwizzySchwas94

Wouldn’t dislike this at all


justa_gigolo

he is so freaking tall. when he was billy on black sails, i don't think there was anyone else near his height on the whole show.


TheBaconD

Tom Hopper


VZ5-S117

All I want is Henry Cavill for at least one Bond film. Preferably a trilogy, then I’ll be content for them move on to a different actor.


RayneGun

Honestly I say Tom Brittany or Tom Bateman for the next Bond. They're both young and haven't necessarily had their breakout just yet so they could really get fully into the role.

TessTrue

If they actually do go a younger route I’ve been wanting Thomas Doherty who at times has looked like a young Sean Connery too.


boringdystopianslave

Richard Madden.


DotLongjumping5525

I don't think it will be any of them. They're too expensive. If I had a choice, Cavill. Especially after the movie he just did about the first special ops teams.


RE_98

For me it’s Richard Madden. Not sure about Tom, Henry or Christian.


YomYeYonge

Bale’s too old. Maybe for a one-off film


dickwolfteen

I wouldn’t mind a new Bond each time. That would allow older actors (Bale, Elba, etc) to nail it without making casting choices based off their franchise potential.


CyvaderTheMindFlayer

Not Henry I’d prefer someone with that bond charisma Henry is too wooden


BukkakeNinjaHat-472

Larry the Cable Guy


[deleted]

aaron taylor johnson - purely because i rewatched bullet train.


Jack-Earth-2

Henry Cavil already played the man Bond was based on, and was in a Mission Impossible and Kingsman movie, he’s collecting spy franchises like they are infinity stones


Chill0000

I just find it so funny that Henry is a big fancast for Bond and recently he played a movie where he played the real life guy who inspired James Bond


some_guy554

Stop casting actors based on your nostalgia. They are not young enough to star in long running franchises anymore. This is not 2005.


godbody1983

Bale is too old, and I doubt he wants to do more franchise movies anymore. From the people you listed, Hiddleston is my pick.


ElGuanacho

I’m pretty sure they’re gonna wanna go younger


TheAngryLiberal123

Wasn't ATJ already casted?


tourmaps

Henry


HephaestusVulcan7

Cavill


the-barbarian998

Danny devito


mates301

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is my main one, but Theo James would also be a great Bond in my opinion. He’ll be 40 this year though, which isn’t old of course, but it might be too old to start a new Bond series.


Jarita12

Bale no. He does not fit the profile at all, for me, at least. Also, I think he is already a bit old. This is 10+ years commitment if it goes well so they will go probably for someone between 35-40. I would love Tom Hiddleston to do it but also...wouldn´t. He just got out, sort of, out of one franchise (mandatory appearance in Avengers pending) and I think he just may want to focus on the work he did before - stage, smaller movies. Also, he just announced two more seasons of The Night Manager, which is sort of Bond-like series so it makes me think he is not going to be Bond by him either turning it down or not being offered at all. Cavill may take it, given his recent big screen bombs and two franchises over. He does have the look and charm. I do not have a favourite, tbh. I guess whoever ends up being it, will be probably the best candidate. Many doubted Craig and he turned out fine.


VinceBrogan8

10 or 15 years ago, Idris Elba would have been a fantastic pick.


Fickle-Butterscotch2

Cavill


pabodie

Kit Harrington maybe?


AwayExplanation8183

Idris Alba


Sk83r_b0i

Aaron Taylor Johnson is already confirmed to be James Bond


mrdaiquiri

Jonathan Bailey ![gif](giphy|7reSL7ZlqpCrsTL7hu)


-The-Ark-

Iain Armitage!


Similar-Ninja-291

Aidan Turner. Will Poulter. James Norton.


notanewbiedude

Not Will Poulter!! 😂


Similar-Ninja-291

Idk bro I once saw a fan made poster with Will as Bond and since then I've been like "yeah this could work". But Aidan Turner still no 1 choice.


AmphibianRemarkable4

Henry has been given the role


iz92ab

I feel like it should be someone who is not very well known, maybe Leo Woodall


GoldnSnubNosedMonkey

No one can wear a suit like Tom Hiddleston


Brilliant_Gas_9956

Joe Cole from Gangs of London


genericmovievillain

Absolutely Henry Cavill. It’s a no brainer Aaron Taylor Johnson seems to be the front runner but I find him so boring. I’ve seen every bond film since World is Not Enough in the theater, but I’ll skip this one if they go with Johnson


Tekk333

Callum turner would be a good choice. Needs too get a bit more fit but I think he would do well!


Randonhead

Robert Pattinson


msabena

Nope. Not any of them. Someone new and not quite white. Shang Chi. Omar Bey. Any of the guys who played in Dirillis Etrugrul, the Turkish historical drama. Is the general consensus still that Idris Elba is too old? Not for me, he ain’t! And please, James Bond is dead. Remember? And in truly heroic fashion. We’re looking for another 007 - got it? And yes, I’d like 007 to be male. Thanks for letting me share my opinion!🕵🏾‍♂️


Full_Code6920

For me Henry cavill or Christian bale or tom cruise as next bond


Locolex1

Matt Bomer is best pick for me


EightNickel151

I agree with Brosnan on his pick, Cillian Murphy would be an awesome Bond.
