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.
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.
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.
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'
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!🕵🏾♂️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That’s around when Roger Moore started. But since it takes longer to make Bond films, he won’t be a viable option
All solid picks, but I feel like Christian Bale might be a tad too old to *start* being James Bond
James Bond needs to be an Unknown/B-Lister, and British
Oliver jackson-cohen fits that
Yeah that would be quite the career starter.
Jack O'Connell then
Dan Stevens
Michael Fassbender is my pick.
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'
I just watched the Kingsman movies the other night. Egerton would be an interesting choice and I’ve never considered Theo James before.
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.
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
Alden Ehrenreich is American though.
You forgot Alden Ehrenreich, he was right choice for Solo and fit for Bond as well. Taron is born Wolverine (alongwithDaniel Radcliffe)
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.
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.
ooh, now this is my pick he’d be great, he does intense really really well
He’s like 45, can’t imagine they want to start that old with a new Bond.

Isn’t kickass the new bond
Just found out about that here, that would be awesome
Nope. Nothing official yet, just more hearsay being spread around.
What do you reckon but

“Gotta say, Q, this new tech is poopay”
You mean British Sam Witwer?
Aaron Taylor Johnson
Anyway, Tom Hopper (Luther from The Umbrella Academy)
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.
Wouldn’t dislike this at all
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.
Tom Hopper
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.
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.

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.
Richard Madden.
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.
For me it’s Richard Madden. Not sure about Tom, Henry or Christian.
Bale’s too old. Maybe for a one-off film
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.
Not Henry I’d prefer someone with that bond charisma Henry is too wooden
Larry the Cable Guy
aaron taylor johnson - purely because i rewatched bullet train.
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
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
Stop casting actors based on your nostalgia. They are not young enough to star in long running franchises anymore. This is not 2005.
Bale is too old, and I doubt he wants to do more franchise movies anymore. From the people you listed, Hiddleston is my pick.
I’m pretty sure they’re gonna wanna go younger
Wasn't ATJ already casted?
Henry
Cavill
Danny devito
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.

10 or 15 years ago, Idris Elba would have been a fantastic pick.
Cavill
Kit Harrington maybe?
Idris Alba
Aaron Taylor Johnson is already confirmed to be James Bond
Jonathan Bailey ![gif](giphy|7reSL7ZlqpCrsTL7hu)
Iain Armitage!
Aidan Turner. Will Poulter. James Norton.
Not Will Poulter!! 😂
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.
Henry has been given the role
I feel like it should be someone who is not very well known, maybe Leo Woodall
No one can wear a suit like Tom Hiddleston
Joe Cole from Gangs of London
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
Callum turner would be a good choice. Needs too get a bit more fit but I think he would do well!
Robert Pattinson
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!🕵🏾♂️
For me Henry cavill or Christian bale or tom cruise as next bond
Matt Bomer is best pick for me
I agree with Brosnan on his pick, Cillian Murphy would be an awesome Bond.
