Next James Bond after Daniel Craig?

[JP4CY]

Elba would be a good Bond. Please not a woman. Make a new character if you're gonna do that. I'm not anti woman or anything, but Bond is male.

While kind of Bourne like Atomic Blonde was bad ass.

Both James Norton and Tom Brittney have been mentioned.

Idris Elba would be great.

He would be great! I also like Hardy, but he seems a little too broody.

I predict another extended hiatus after No Time to Die finally hits theaters. Release date in November 2026 or 2027. It may be someone completely off the radar.

I was trying to remember if I'd really seen Daniel Craig in anything before his first Bond movie... I can remember thinking it would add a certain element as he was much more physical than previous actors. Idris certainly has a long list of acting credentials, already.

Do they want someone fresh? I'm really curious in who they'll select for the next, but I'm sure we won't find out until well after no time to die is released.

Craig made splashes in Road to Perdition (with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman) and Layer Cake (with Colm Meaney and Michael Gambon) before he became Bond.

As long as it isn't Timothy Dalton

A younger Liam Neeson would have been cool.

I'm going to go with one that hasn't been mentioned and say Dev Patel. There is a large minority population of ethnic Indians in England, and after seeing him knock it out of the park in The Wedding Guest I would love to see him get a turn as Bond.

isn't Lashana Lynch the next 007?

 

[NorthCyd]

isn't Lashana Lynch the next 007?

She gets the number after Bond leaves MI6 in the next movie. Probably depend on how she's recieved if she is the future of the franchise, and if her character survives the movie.

I don't know if he has the physicality for it, but they can always train him up.

I don't think he'd want to do it, but Nicholas Hoult could be good if they wanted to go younger too. He'd actually be my pick.
