Next 007?

Not that guy from Burnley I hope...

Didn't know Jeff was in contention for it

As long as he can put the ball in the net I don't really mind where he is from.

Aaron Taylor Johnson I rekon

Always thought Henry Cavill would make a good Bond. Nearly pipped Craig for the role back in the day but was considered too young apparently.

[claret2018]

I just want a Bond film where he goes on an MI-5 backed mission and uses funky gadgets against a cartoonish villain.

The last few films were so boring.

James McAvoy

[Inchy]

John Boyega would be good

[claret wizard]

By all accounts The Jackal with Eddie Redmayne is meant to be incredible. Maybe he’s bumped himself into the running.

Great cast…. Won’t be long now.

It'll be a woman

The most wooden actor I’ve ever seen.

Think they need to give Bond a rest. It’s had its day and lost its way.

It'll be a woman

The Bond franchise is worth billions so it won't be risked on a woman. It's not that there aren't great female actors but simply it would be too far for many fans. It could be a black male actor but I think they will want someone young enough to do 4 or 5 films, so Idris Elba out for that reason.

They need to go back to their roots. Set it in the 50s with the emphasis on retro gadgets and true spy work.

It's almost 100% nailed on to be Regé-Jean Page

He ticks a few boxes

I’d like to see somebody like Theo James who starred in The Gentlemen. He’s 39 I see though, which is a couple of years older than I thought he was.

Henry Cavill would be a decent shout, but I think Daniel Craig was 38 for his first outing and Cavill is already 41 now, so he’d be 43-44 by the time the film came out. How many would he do before they were looking for a replacement? I would think they would want at least 5 films out of an actor?

[fatboy47]

Fat lass with the Brummie accent off Bakeoff I've heard.

The most wooden actor I’ve ever seen.

Errrr....I think that's kinda the idea?

[grapidianclaret]

The most wooden actor I’ve ever seen.

Worse than Edwood Woodwood?

[AlargeClaret]

Probs time to wheel out the one trick pony show of Idris Elba … though he can now say “ I’m too old to play Bond”
They may well choose a black actor as the publicity alone would be huge , and Ann Widecombe will be able to call it “ politically correct nonsense “ and people can say things “ Gammons will be raging “ etc etc .

Didn’t the Sun leak it was Aaron Taylor Johnson recently ?

does he actually do acting anymore? only ever see him on those Sky ads

[bobinho]

I thought the reinvention with DC went very well. It needed to move away from the cartoon it had become.
I’m not going to suggest a replacement, when they announced DC I was underwhelmed - disappointed even, but within 30 seconds of Casino Royale starting, I KNEW they’d nailed it.

Must admit i prefer the older, cheesier Bond films that had a bit of humour. Didn't really rate the Daniel Craig one's.

Same. The Bourne and Mission Impossible series have become much better versions of what Bond was trying to do anyway.

I do like Casino Royale though.

[Stayingup]

Ashley Barnes?

[Commy]

Rumours that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been offered the role.

You can’t remake perfection.

Just watched episode one of The Day of the Jackal, I like it. Eddy is very good.

[AfloatinClaret]

I'm surprised that nobody has suggested Nathan Tella yet?
Whatever the problem, there's generally someone on here who thinks that it would be cured by re-signing NT

Got this on record ... watching "The Lincoln Lawyer" series 3 at the moment will start DotJ when we finish that.
