I would definitely say Tom Hiddleston is the perfect, outstanding And outclassed person to play the next James Bond he’s so outspoken and has a way with words and numbers he’s so suave and debonair and also has charisma aswell as having power and he’s own charm also not to mention he is so deep dead gorgeous, handsome and good looking in a suite
I think people are thinking of stars that they want to see as Bond but Bond films have always made their lead actors stars. I hope it's a relatively unknown actor like it usually is
Same. The actors had their credits, but none so visible as bond. If you've played superman or any well known comic character, or other fictional character, it's a bit odd for me. But I know that's not everyone's feeling
He's not unknown, but he's a phenomenal actor, I think Bill Skarsgard should play the next bond. He'd add a more youthful but darker dimension than what we have seen before. Even Alex Skarsgard would be good but I think Bill would bring something we haven't seen before. He's a hidden gem / dark horse of an actor we haven't seen in a while.
@@AaronWallace2008 Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were known from television. They weren't movie stars. The producers don't seem to like to hire actors associated with big Hollywood movie roles.
The contenders I would consider for the role of James Bond would be Tom Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender and Richard Madden in that order. I liked how Daniel Craig expanded the personality of Bond. He was able to be that strong knight in shining armour and keep you on the edge of your seat during action sequences and yet at other times let his guard down and show his vulnerability and at times his insecurity. However he was always able to bolster his confidence enough to go ahead and get the job done and add in romance and intimacy. He made Bond a more complex character than some of his predecessors and I think whoever they chose as the next Bond needs to not only bring those qualities into the role but also bring a piece of themselves in order to make Bond more captivating to the audience (or as good as).
I can see Hiddleston as Bond. The charming aspect yet having that look as if he can kill someone (watch The Avengers from 2012 and see how menacing Loki looks)
I preferred Pierce Brosnan. Brianna used to say that if you are “Bond” you have to take other movies that do not reflect badly on the Bond franchise. I found the Bond they made Daniel Craig into was all fight and no charm. #TomHiddleston could definitely bring the charm, everyone loves him already and he has the grit as well.
As long as the actor can do a convincing English accent, I don't mind them being a foreigner. They must fit Ian Fleming's description from the books though.
I'll agree, prior to the modern era, Tom would've been an excellent choice for Bond, but that ship has sailed. The suave has to be balanced with edge. People today want more Connery than Moore (Brosnan being more Moore than Connery). That is why I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
I am sorry for having to tell you all this, but James Bond’s story was based off a white British Male Agent, who was not only physically good at his job, but also charming and romantic. Henry Cavill is much too bulky and old for the job (try imagining Henry Cavill camouflaging in a crowd). Sean Connery portrayed James Bond perfectly and it is one of the reasons why finding someone as talented and as good an actor as him would be the perfect choice for the next James Bond. My number one pick would be Richard Madden: he is Scottish, he is in his late 30s (meaning he has the time for the job), he is an incredibly talented actor (watch Bodyguard if you haven’t seen it, the way he portrays David Budd is unique, also watch Rocketman and Klondike), he can be very charming and he has the looks for it!

Sean Connery was a body-builder, -6′ 2″, (1.88 m) weighed 90, kgs (Being able to "camouflage in a crowd" was always redundant for Bond.) Henry Cavill has built his body for Superman and is 6ft 1" (1.86 m)and weighs 91 kgs. The similarities make him a natural candidate. He's 38 and has all the time in the world to do a series. His acting skills seal the deal.
Too old. Craig started at 38 (which is Henry Cavil’s current age). They need a “bond” who can last 4-5 movies. Given production time, that’s an easy 15 year spread. Also since they’re not replacing bond but playing a new double-o or a younger bond, they’ll need to go young. Maybe even late 20’s - early 30’s.
I DEFINITELY agree! Some may say that "The Night Manager" was Tom's audition, but IMPHO, he's got the chops to take this role and make it his own! ☝🏽☝🏽👆👆👏🏽👏🏽
Definitely Tom Hiddleston… the voice , the charisma, great actor, he does Shakespeare, comedy, sings, dances, plays guitar… he can make James Bond better than anyone since Sean Connery.
Tom Huddleston is in good looking I'm not trying to start a fight this is just my opinion and bond will not be released with two more years that indicates they are already grooming the next Bond.

@@doctor1alex I'm sure he can slim down a bit. Moore lost 20lbs prior to LALD & he was 45! Isn't being big framed part of being Bond. Big, tall, strong etc. Who is your current choice?
Sean Bean could be a good bond or ewan McGregor or Jude law or even that black British actor that helped pierce Bronson in his movies James edwards? He did great in the first resident evil as the swat commando leader.or Michael fessbender. Just throwing some names there.
Personally I have always wanted to see Tom Hiddleston as Bond. And if I have the choice to cast I will cast him without thinking twice. Nevertheless, if we are indeed looking for a younger, lesser known bond, Sam Heughan will be a fantastic choice.
I think Hardy's age will go against him. Cavill is already too busy. Hiddleston has already put Barbara Broccoli off him, after she described him as being too smug for the role of 007.
For me, Henry Cavill is my winner and Richard Madden a close second. Cillian Murphy is very good at playing villains and I think he should be top billing for a Bond villain. Some of these people I haven't heard of, but if a relative unknown was to get the role the candidate could come from one of them. Before Daniel Craig, I thought Clive Owen should have romped it in but he was never even considered by the producers which was a shock to me. his time has long passed now.
@@rboona2002 Of course not, but when casting a new Bond, age is actually a very important factor to consider. Sean Connery was only 32 when he was cast to play 007 in in Dr No (1962), which meant that he was young enough to continue playing him until OHMSS (1969) and he only looked old in DAFE (1971) aged 41. Roger Moore was already 45 when he became Bond in Live and Let Die (1973), which meant that he already looked too old by FYEO (1981), only 8 years later. Moore was in the most Bond films (7) BUT if there had been 3 years between his films, instead of 2 years, then he would've only appeared 3 times before he looked too old. Moore (aged 54) should've been replaced by Dalton (aged 35) in 1981, but he stayed on for 4 more years, until VTAK in 1985, when he was a ripe old 58! Dalton only appeared as 007 twice, so age wasn't an issue, but he was already 40 when he became Bond. Pierce Brosnan is the only Bond who aged slowly enough NOT to look old in his later films but even he was already 42 in Goldeneye (1995) and 49 by his last film DAD (2002). Unfortunately, Daniel Craig's LOOKS haven't aged well, despite him being only 38 when he was cast as Bond in CR (2006) and also keeping himself in excellent physical condition. He was almost 50 in NTTD and his age clearly shows. When you consider how long all these actors played him and their respective ages, the next Bond should be old enough to be believable in the role, but also young enough to stay for 10-12 years, which means casting someone aged 35-40.
Tom Ellis, RJP or Michael Fassbender. Henry Cavill is too stiff and honestly the most emotional I've seen him is in the Witcher. Tom Hiddleston also a decent choice.
First before you call me ageist, I'm over 60. Daniel Craig has made the role much more physical - no more gentleman spies. Since the actor could be committed to play 007 for 15 years plus, the new Bond can't be any older than late 30s, ruling out a few people on this list. I like Richard Madden and Rege-Jean Page; both are more associated with television, as were Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig was no leading man either. The producers don't usually go for movie stars.
Gentleman spies is what James bond is and always has been. That IS bond! People need to stop trying to change bond around and keep it the way the character was written. James bond isn't Jason Bourne or John McLane or any other action hero he's a classy suave British spy
@@the_lifted_stache3640 You can live in the past if you want, but I want my super buff James Bond leaping from buildings in a tailor-made suit, taking down the villain and then sip a martini with latest Bond girl. He must look like he can kill someone, not like Noel Coward sharing amusing anecdotes at a cocktail party.
I don’t think you should say he made it that way because if that’s what the Director intended that is what they mean. Anyhow change is good but there is still that gentleman aspect to James Bond like never see Daniel Craig without a woman,
@@thetrickster1365 Nah, in 2006 Clive Owen or Hugh Jackman were more famous, outside britain Craig was under "the radar", not a household name, i only notice His previous film after Casino Royale.
I recognised Craig when he was first linked to Bond. However couldn't name a single thing he had been in & would not have known his name. Suspect he would have become a Christopher Eccleston type actor if he had not become Bond.
THEY ALL LOOK LIKE EXCELLENT CHOICES TO ME, THE ONLY ONE I WOULD INCLUDE WOULD BE TOM ELLIS, POSSIBLY BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS AND GOD OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
What about Tom Ellis the one that played Lucifer? He's already played some parts there he would use for 007. If you haven't seen him go check him out. HOT 🔥
I would love to see Scott Adkins as bond. He fits so well for the reasons that he's a fine English actor, has amazing fighting skills(legit martial artist), very easy on the eyes, and is in his mid 40's but is in as good shape as anyone 10 years younger. It also helps that he is under the radar compared to most top picks for Bond which is a plus in my opinion.
Definitely, Henry Cavil! With his fan base , he would bring the movie so much more money and fame. He is literally perfect for the role, these producers and directors better choose wisely because apparently, the new James Bond didn’t do great in the movie box.
He is a terrible actor. He has no depth at all. He should be a shaving model. As for the least one not doing so well. The pandemic is still affecting things. I didn't go to the movie for this as I don't want to wear a mask for 3 hours. It'll still probably do as well as Spectre. It's at 600 million already and still time.
I have a whole lot of different names mentioned in relation to playing 007. Hardy I believe had been the bookmakers favourite for a long time, but I gather that with the way things have dragged on with regards the Global Pandemic it's now a case that Hardy's age is working against him. Especially when you consider that he will be at least 46 by the time the next installment of James Bond is released. So therefore it is now Madden who is the favourite at around 35 he clearly has time on his side. Plus he fits the bill in many different ways. Richard Madden is certainly the guy I would have as the next 007. Of course a new Felix Leiter is required.
@@rboona2002 No, that's why Henry Cavill didn't get it, and it went to Craig. Bond must be young enough to be able to leap onto trains, but old enough to have some experience in life - so must be at least 32 (like Connery).
@@annyjayableful Nope..they changed their mind..first they will go with the young Bond story then later they decided to go with older Bond ..Cavil was too young for the role ..if you just look for actor who is 32 yrs old with Bond qualifications as per book .. you will never find one ..they can go with the story when Bond in his early 40s ..Sam Heughan is Scottish like Connery, he is not really famous ( just like any other Bond actors before they were Bond), but the cheek bone, height and acting skills are the closest to Bond character ..my first choice is Geughan and Dan Stevens is the second
Tom Hardy is a good actor but he does not look like a James Bond. He looks too much like a thug to play a suave character. No non-white actor please! Don't swap the character's race, keep it as it was originally created.
Hardy is the opposite of Hiddleston in this. As I mentioned above, Bond is a combination of thug and tuxedo. Hiddleston is too much tuxedo. Hardy is too much thug. Could be wrong though,
@@jasonkane6156 You're spot on regarding Hardy and Hiddleston. We need someone elegant but who can also fight among the toughest. Hiddleston doesn't look like someone who can win a fight.
I’m an ultimate fan! I’ve been loving James Bond from the beginning! PLEASE play the original music through out the film like you did from the beginning! Please!! I definitely love Jason Stratham for the next Bond!!
There is a difference between British and English, anybody born in the commonwealth can be British, Chris Froome was born in Nairobi Kenya a British winner of the Tour de France, So you would be happy with a thick Indian or African accent as long as they are British, you are very short sighted and also a racist and a bigot to think that the Security services of the UK do not or should not hire people unless they are british.
At first, I didn't think Daniel could pull it off. But now! I can't see anybody else as bond. What makes him bond, is his crazy swag, in his talk, his walk and his whole demeanor. But if it has to be somebody for me , Joel kinnerman. He to has that swag
Theo James would be perfect. He'll still look good after a few films... He has the deep British baritone voice... The charm, plus he's a good actor and bring the danger and gravitas.... Just a little more bulking up and a good script and he would be perfect.
He'd be my second choice after Francois Arnaud who is just as sexy and dark but at 6ft 2" he's way taller and as seen in The Borgias does a perfect Brit accent and can do angst dark and ruthless.
Henry Cavill has played his hand perfectly. Still low down on the bookies list, people will get burned out by hearing the front runners' names, Argylle will come out and put him on top of the list around the time they will be casting. There is no coincidence Argylle is coming out when it does.
Sam Heughan ! He will be very interesting. Why ? Because he is very handsome, talented and very persevering. Brilliant in exceptional roles, extremely loved. In this role I have faith that Sam Heughan will do everything for a total performance. When a such talented actor as Sam gets the chance to play such a huge role as James Bond, well, then he will put to the test all his qualities in order to succeed ! I think it will be a challenge meant to bring out the best of a beautiful and formidably talented actor as Sam is. And I think the time has come for James Bond to show that he has a soul.
I agree with you and always that Richard Madden can produce more bonds of success because of his age because of his looks because of everything he is that personifies a James Bond. His youth sustain the franchise for at least 10 more years
@@theStacyJames Stacy I agree with you in this particular actor to step into the role of James Bond. Because he embodies all the characteristics of James Bond and he still has a youthful embodiment to last at least three more bonds
@@esotericsage6914 Liam is a possibility however doesn't have the real look of a James Bond Liam has a look that he's indecisive not very confident just my opinion
Sam Heughan all the way. I (we) watch Bond movies for specific reasons. Bond girls, gadgets, guns, cars, action sequences, espionage, and Villains. Throwing in a high profile actor just so they could say “we have a high profile actor” is insane. We need an up and coming actor to play the part. Someone that is starting fresh so when we watch them on the big screen, they get the proper chance to make “Bond” their own. Every time I see Calville, I see Superman. He made Superman his own.
As a huge 007 fan from the beginning I feel that Daniel Craig was one of the best to ever play Bond! To replace him will be difficult but the actor who immediately stands out as one with immediate credibility is Jason Statham. Not many others could fill Craig's shoes with such resounding popularity or acceptance as he could for such a demanding role!
The problem is his age. I believe he is currently 51? No doubt he is in great shape but his age might not work. But I love him, and thought about him 1st as well. Still crying they killed Daniel. My favorite Bond! All are great choices but Henry needs to be at the top? SuperBondMan! Could James actually FLY? If he had x-ray vision, he could see through women's clothing! That's kinda hot!
I thought Sean Connery was the best Bond ever…until I saw Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale”. Yes, I know they’re two totally different time periods, and styles of acting/movies have changed. But, damn!
The role of 007 should go to Henry bce he is dedicated to all the role he his in. He will give to the role something new and more bce he is not only following a scrip he give to it, he embodies it, become it and morthies it. It will be stupid to gave it to someone else, look at what he did with the Witcher Imaging what he can do with 007 role. Daniel Craig legacy's in the role 007 was formidable, Henry will be spectacular!
For several years now I've been saying that there's one choice and one choice only for Daniel Craig's successor. Henry Cavill has all of the qualities required for Bond; extensive acting experience, accomplished stunt performer, quintessential Britishness and he's personable/ handsome to the nth degree. All of the naysayers who rubbished D.C. will have a shot at H.C. He'll prove them wrong.
1. Henry Cavill (Wink to the Camera Type Bond) 2. Robert Pattinson (Dark Gritty Type Bond) 3. Richard Madden (Wink to the Camera Type Bond) 4. Tom Hiddleston (Wink to the Camera Type Bond) 5. Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Dark and Gritty Bond) 6. Rege-Jean Page (Mixture of the two types) 7. Sam Heugen (Wink to the Camera Type Bond) 8. Benedict Cumerbatch (Mixture of the two types) 9. Matt Smith (Wink to the Camera Type Bond) 10. Sam Clafin (Wink to the Camera Type Bond)
Needs to be someone 30-40, over 6 feet, dark haired, handsome, British, good actor, charismatic & able to carry a Bond film. Another Sean Connery or 1987 Brosnan. Good luck.
@@leekereopa1960 I know. But Dalton was 40. That is pushing it now if the producers want 5/6 Bond films from an actor. Gaps between films are much longer. A 1987 Brosnan was 33.
Sure thing Adam. Good point. I agree they really need to bring the bond movies out at least every 3 to 4 years that way if a actor is mid 30s on his first bond he could easily do 5 to 6 movies.
I am definitely not racist or sexist but James Bond should always be a white Brit. It’s just who the character is just like how Batman is a white guy or how black panther is a black guy.
You don't have to justify Bond being a white British male by saying you're not racist/sexist. You're just playing into the hands of the wokerati lunatics if you do that.

@@doctor1alex I'm sure he can slim down a bit. Moore lost 20lbs prior to LALD & he was 45!
Isn't being big framed part of being Bond. Big, tall, strong etc.
Who is your current choice?
@@adamcollins915 Maybe you’re right.
Me? I have no idea!
From this list, Cavill is the logical choice. But, like others have stated, it may very well be someone we barely know.
Michael Fassbender, or Cavill
Agree
Madden
Sean Bean could be a good bond or ewan McGregor or Jude law or even that black British actor that helped pierce Bronson in his movies James edwards? He did great in the first resident evil as the swat commando leader.or Michael fessbender. Just throwing some names there.
Keira knightly, Jodie Comer, Sullivan Stapleton, Ryan Eggold,Rhys Meyers even John Travolta
Missing Tom Ellis - perfect fit
TOM HIDDLESTON 💙
Personally I have always wanted to see Tom Hiddleston as Bond. And if I have the choice to cast I will cast him without thinking twice. Nevertheless, if we are indeed looking for a younger, lesser known bond, Sam Heughan will be a fantastic choice.
Sam Heughan should be the next James Bond. Great actor, good looking and he’s Scottish. James Bond needs to be Scottish again.
NFW
Iagree
I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
My personal top 3:
1. Tom Ellis
2. Richard Madden
3. Theo James
My choice henry Cavil....
I think Hardy's age will go against him.
Cavill is already too busy.
Hiddleston has already put Barbara Broccoli off him, after she described him as being too smug for the role of 007.
Hiddleston is a complete and utter bottom.
@@cockshield Why do you feel THAT???
Did you not see "The Night Manager"?
Rodger moore was 45 when he did his first james bond and 57 his last
Michael Fassbender (not mentioned), or Cavill, period!
@Sebastian Ag Exactly
One who didn't get a mention was Tom Ellis. He would make a good Bond.
Tom Ellis to be James Bond for sure
Charlie Hunan or Sam Heugan would be great 007's.
Heughan yes..Hunnam no
Hunnam definately.
Definitely SAM HEUGHAN !!!!!!!!
@@amlcdguy Yess
NFW, Michael Fassbender, or Cavill, period!
Tom Ellis for me - shame Idris Elba is the wrong side of age
For me, Henry Cavill is my winner and Richard Madden a close second. Cillian Murphy is very good at playing villains and I think he should be top billing for a Bond villain. Some of these people I haven't heard of, but if a relative unknown was to get the role the candidate could come from one of them. Before Daniel Craig, I thought Clive Owen should have romped it in but he was never even considered by the producers which was a shock to me. his time has long passed now.
Henry Cavill is a terrible actor. He has the depth of a paddling pool.
Cavill is Superman already ..they never cast famous actor as Bond ..and too bulky as Bond
Cavill (born 1983) will be too old by the time he's cast but would've been a good candidate otherwise.
Madden (born 1986) is a better option.
@@GonzoTehGreat It is not always about the age my friend
@@rboona2002 Of course not, but when casting a new Bond, age is actually a very important factor to consider.
Sean Connery was only 32 when he was cast to play 007 in in Dr No (1962), which meant that he was young enough to continue playing him until OHMSS (1969) and he only looked old in DAFE (1971) aged 41.
Roger Moore was already 45 when he became Bond in Live and Let Die (1973), which meant that he already looked too old by FYEO (1981), only 8 years later. Moore was in the most Bond films (7) BUT if there had been 3 years between his films, instead of 2 years, then he would've only appeared 3 times before he looked too old. Moore (aged 54) should've been replaced by Dalton (aged 35) in 1981, but he stayed on for 4 more years, until VTAK in 1985, when he was a ripe old 58!
Dalton only appeared as 007 twice, so age wasn't an issue, but he was already 40 when he became Bond.
Pierce Brosnan is the only Bond who aged slowly enough NOT to look old in his later films but even he was already 42 in Goldeneye (1995) and 49 by his last film DAD (2002).
Unfortunately, Daniel Craig's LOOKS haven't aged well, despite him being only 38 when he was cast as Bond in CR (2006) and also keeping himself in excellent physical condition. He was almost 50 in NTTD and his age clearly shows.
When you consider how long all these actors played him and their respective ages, the next Bond should be old enough to be believable in the role, but also young enough to stay for 10-12 years, which means casting someone aged 35-40.
I think Tom Hiddleston is perfect to play the next James Bond.👏👏👏
I think the same thing.
mmm.. what you think about this actor, of suits
Nah bro. Too young. We need a mature James Bond
Tom Ellis, RJP or Michael Fassbender. Henry Cavill is too stiff and honestly the most emotional I've seen him is in the Witcher. Tom Hiddleston also a decent choice.
Tom Ellis and nobody else
First before you call me ageist, I'm over 60. Daniel Craig has made the role much more physical - no more gentleman spies. Since the actor could be committed to play 007 for 15 years plus, the new Bond can't be any older than late 30s, ruling out a few people on this list. I like Richard Madden and Rege-Jean Page; both are more associated with television, as were Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig was no leading man either. The producers don't usually go for movie stars.
Gentleman spies is what James bond is and always has been. That IS bond! People need to stop trying to change bond around and keep it the way the character was written. James bond isn't Jason Bourne or John McLane or any other action hero he's a classy suave British spy
@@the_lifted_stache3640 You can live in the past if you want, but I want my super buff James Bond leaping from buildings in a tailor-made suit, taking down the villain and then sip a martini with latest Bond girl. He must look like he can kill someone, not like Noel Coward sharing amusing anecdotes at a cocktail party.
I prefer the gentleman spy to be honest.
@@annyjayableful Bond should be both physically imposing and refined.
I don’t think you should say he made it that way because if that’s what the Director intended that is what they mean. Anyhow change is good but there is still that gentleman aspect to James Bond like never see Daniel Craig without a woman,
Sam Heughan would be fabulous! He would also bring a huge, new fan-base!
I agree 🤩💖🥰
So agree ..perfect
Totally agree
He auditioned in 2005. Now 41 so pushing it. He does look quite youthful so could continue into his mid 50's. Tall enough.
I'm Scottish so I agree. He's launching a book in Edinburgh next week actually. He's written some guide to being Scottish or something.
for me loki is like the best bet as after loki s2 will come he will have hype more than henry cavill
My Favourites are first Henry Cavill, second Karl Urban, but he was a little bit to old, so i think Tom Ellis from "Lucifer" would be a good choice.
I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT CLIVE OWEN WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT BOND
BUT I GUESS ITS A LITTLE LATE NOW FOR HIM
CLIVE IS A VERY GOOD ACTOR 😎
I have been wishing this for years...
👍👍👍👍
Talk about over the hill and waaaaay out of shape. Michael Fassbender, or Cavill
Maybe, once upon a time. He was an interesting contender after Brosnan. But today? I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
Anyone for Lucifer's Tom Ellis?
He is British, suave,looks great in a suit and he can play the part of a womaniser.
oh hellllll ya. tom ellis all the way. no one eles.
The next Bond will be somebody we’ve never heard of….just like Craig in 2006.
Craig was a well known actor especially in britain, just not A list, but many people had heard of him
@@thetrickster1365 Nah, in 2006 Clive Owen or Hugh Jackman were more famous, outside britain Craig was under "the radar", not a household name, i only notice His previous film after Casino Royale.
I recognised Craig when he was first linked to Bond. However couldn't name a single thing he had been in & would not have known his name.
Suspect he would have become a Christopher Eccleston type actor if he had not become Bond.
Right
Definitely Sam Heughan should be the next Bond 😊
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.
THEY ALL LOOK LIKE EXCELLENT CHOICES TO ME, THE ONLY ONE I WOULD INCLUDE WOULD BE TOM ELLIS, POSSIBLY BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS AND GOD OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
Should be a British actor, period.
I will watch the next Bond only if Sam Heughan or Dan Stevens as the new Bond ..No other actors and stop the crap about female Bond
Absolutely no female Bond!!!
1. Dan Stevens
2. Tom Hardy
3. Henry Cavill
4. Tom Hiddleston
5. Charlie Hunnam
Hunnam. 👍👍
Dan Stevens for sure
Whoever is chosen to be the next James Bond, Ian Fleming had two specific requirements for casting 007:
1) Must be British!
2) Must be MALE!
What about Tom Ellis the one that played Lucifer? He's already played some parts there he would use for 007.
If you haven't seen him go check him out. HOT 🔥
I hope they give the role to someone who is working hard, currently under the radar for too long, but has the substance to become a great Bond.
Michael Fassbender, or Cavill
@@theStacyJames cavill was superman... I prefer someone relatively unknown
I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
I would love to see Scott Adkins as bond. He fits so well for the reasons that he's a fine English actor, has amazing fighting skills(legit martial artist), very easy on the eyes, and is in his mid 40's but is in as good shape as anyone 10 years younger. It also helps that he is under the radar compared to most top picks for Bond which is a plus in my opinion.
Definitely, Henry Cavil! With his fan base , he would bring the movie so much more money and fame. He is literally perfect for the role, these producers and directors better choose wisely because apparently, the new James Bond didn’t do great in the movie box.
He is a terrible actor. He has no depth at all. He should be a shaving model. As for the least one not doing so well. The pandemic is still affecting things. I didn't go to the movie for this as I don't want to wear a mask for 3 hours. It'll still probably do as well as Spectre. It's at 600 million already and still time.
He's a mascular guy I don't think he will do justice on stunts. It might be even difficult for him to run and chase enemies.
Cavill suit better the supeman suit than 007, but man of steel was a failure at the box office.
People won't go to see the movie bec he was Superman... That's proven
He’s too hunky and clunky. Bond requires finesse, not clunk or muscle that towers over everyone
Tom hiddlestone please! The role of bond 007 fits him perfectly given his stunning looks!
I have a whole lot of different names mentioned in relation to playing 007.
Hardy I believe had been the bookmakers favourite for a long time, but I gather that with the way things have dragged on with regards the Global Pandemic it's now a case that Hardy's age is working against him. Especially when you consider that he will be at least 46 by the time the next installment of James Bond is released.
So therefore it is now Madden who is the favourite at around 35 he clearly has time on his side. Plus he fits the bill in many different ways.
Richard Madden is certainly the guy I would have as the next 007.
Of course a new Felix Leiter is required.
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.
Sam Heughan he's perfect for Bond and he's keen on the role himself anyone has any doubt should watch him in SAS Red Notice,he'd be my first choice.
Agree 100%
Too old.
@@annyjayableful So you think Bond should be 25 years old haha ??
@@rboona2002 No, that's why Henry Cavill didn't get it, and it went to Craig. Bond must be young enough to be able to leap onto trains, but old enough to have some experience in life - so must be at least 32 (like Connery).
@@annyjayableful Nope..they changed their mind..first they will go with the young Bond story then later they decided to go with older Bond ..Cavil was too young for the role ..if you just look for actor who is 32 yrs old with Bond qualifications as per book .. you will never find one ..they can go with the story when Bond in his early 40s ..Sam Heughan is Scottish like Connery, he is not really famous ( just like any other Bond actors before they were Bond), but the cheek bone, height and acting skills are the closest to Bond character ..my first choice is Geughan and Dan Stevens is the second
Sam Heughan would be perfect for this role. Bonus, he was born in Scotland like Sean Connery.
Michael Fassbender, or Cavill, period!
I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
Tom Hardy is a good actor but he does not look like a James Bond. He looks too much like a thug to play a suave character. No non-white actor please! Don't swap the character's race, keep it as it was originally created.
Vote for Richard Madden..
Hardy is the opposite of Hiddleston in this. As I mentioned above, Bond is a combination of thug and tuxedo. Hiddleston is too much tuxedo. Hardy is too much thug. Could be wrong though,
@@jasonkane6156 You're spot on regarding Hardy and Hiddleston. We need someone elegant but who can also fight among the toughest. Hiddleston doesn't look like someone who can win a fight.
Tom Hardy is a shrimp. Michael Fassbender, or Cavill, period!
I’m an ultimate fan! I’ve been loving James Bond from the beginning! PLEASE play the original music through out the film like you did from the beginning! Please!! I definitely love Jason Stratham for the next Bond!!
Tom Hiddleston is the right one to be 007
hahaha
Sam Heughan. Perfect as James Bond.
Heughan yess
I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
Bond isn’t an office. They need to stay true to character as Fleming wrote him; otherwise, why bother.
That's why I like Dalton and Craig!
I think JJ Feild would be a great James Bond!
Both Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson have said that the role of 007 is a male.
Equally I believe that he should be white and preferably British.
Yes 🤝
Agreed. Changes to supporting characters (a black & hot Moneypenny or female M for example) doesn't change the essence of the main character.
exactly -- "Shaft" would never be a white man
There is a difference between British and English, anybody born in the commonwealth can be British, Chris Froome was born in Nairobi Kenya a British winner of the Tour de France, So you would be happy with a thick Indian or African accent as long as they are British, you are very short sighted and also a racist and a bigot to think that the Security services of the UK do not or should not hire people unless they are british.
I think Tom eills would be perfect as bond or of they need a younger bond Tom holland
At first, I didn't think Daniel could pull it off. But now! I can't see anybody else as bond. What makes him bond, is his crazy swag, in his talk, his walk and his whole demeanor. But if it has to be somebody for me , Joel kinnerman. He to has that swag
Henry Cavill or Tom Hiddleton for sure.
TH my bet.
Elba will play Bond in 2 installments.
jason statham
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.
I'd kill to see Tom as James bond !!!!!
Tom is far to camp to play Bond, Madden is gorgeous he should be Bond a believable ladies man
Hiddleston is an absolute joke.
I've met him. In fact, I picked him up off a sled myself. Very nice guy. Definitely not James Bond
Hiddleston has to be BOND with any doubt.
Red Pill Audios Jealousy so much?
Stacy James Hahaha
What about Tom Ellis, who just finished up on Lucifer?
Acting isn't anywhere close to daniel craig, he's more george Lazenby's level, and he was a glorified model
After watching the trailers.. I’m going for Tom Hiddleston ❤. . Michael Fassbender ❤
Theo James would be perfect. He'll still look good after a few films...
He has the deep British baritone voice... The charm, plus he's a good actor and bring the danger and gravitas.... Just a little more bulking up and a good script and he would be perfect.
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.
TOM ELLIS. In my opinion would
Make a great 007......look at his
Experience in movies and television
Aidan Turner!
Aidan Turner!
Aidan Turner!
He could do a great mix of Dalton and Brosnan
My choice as well. Poldark to Bond.
He'd be my second choice after Francois Arnaud who is just as sexy and dark but at 6ft 2" he's way taller and as seen in The Borgias does a perfect Brit accent and can do angst dark and ruthless.
Interesting idea, but not the right voice. Michael Fassbender (not mentioned), or Cavill, period!
Henry Cavill has played his hand perfectly. Still low down on the bookies list, people will get burned out by hearing the front runners' names, Argylle will come out and put him on top of the list around the time they will be casting. There is no coincidence Argylle is coming out when it does.
Lol, come back to this comment when they found a new actor and see how silly you sounded.
@@flybeep1661 Times change, but since I wrote this he's shot to top of the list and I still stand by him being Bond.
@@allypezz i agree with cavil as bond but i think he wont be picked to play the role
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.

Wish list
1. Christen bale
2. Jason Statham
3. Henry
Sam Heughan all the way 🕺🏼💜
Scott Adkins. More under radar, would kick ass with style. And agreed with another comment, Cillian should be on the next villain list.
Too old.
Tom ellis is the best for the role.
Sam Heughan ! He will be very interesting. Why ? Because he is very handsome, talented and very persevering. Brilliant in exceptional roles, extremely loved. In this role I have faith that Sam Heughan will do everything for a total performance. When a such talented actor as Sam gets the chance to play such a huge role as James Bond, well, then he will put to the test all his qualities in order to succeed ! I think it will be a challenge meant to bring out the best of a beautiful and formidably talented actor as Sam is. And I think the time has come for James Bond to show that he has a soul.
no limp dick. Michael Fassbender (not mentioned), or Cavill, period!
@@theStacyJames James Bond is a gentleman. You are not one with such language. So, you can not recognize one.
Agree 100%
TOM ELLIS! ... Tall, dark and handsome ;) Charming, witty, great actor, British ... and so believable as 007! 🕶🍸🇬🇧
I believe tom hiddleston would be perfect rn
After watching "The Bodyguard" series, Richard Madden fits the role perfectly, Hiddlestone seems to wimpy. Henry Cavill is also a great possibility.
Michael Fassbender
Madden is a good choice. I wouldn't be upset if they picked him, but I have two words, Liam Hemsworth.
I agree with you and always that Richard Madden can produce more bonds of success because of his age because of his looks because of everything he is that personifies a James Bond. His youth sustain the franchise for at least 10 more years
@@theStacyJames Stacy I agree with you in this particular actor to step into the role of James Bond. Because he embodies all the characteristics of James Bond and he still has a youthful embodiment to last at least three more bonds
@@esotericsage6914 Liam is a possibility however doesn't have the real look of a James Bond Liam has a look that he's indecisive not very confident just my opinion
Sam Heughan all the way. I (we) watch Bond movies for specific reasons. Bond girls, gadgets, guns, cars, action sequences, espionage, and Villains. Throwing in a high profile actor just so they could say “we have a high profile actor” is insane. We need an up and coming actor to play the part. Someone that is starting fresh so when we watch them on the big screen, they get the proper chance to make “Bond” their own. Every time I see Calville, I see Superman. He made Superman his own.
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.
Sam Heughan.
He has my vote👏👏👏
Cillian Murphy as future 007 Villain would be great.
I know he may be too old, but I like Idris Elba. He’s so cool.
As a huge 007 fan from the beginning I feel that Daniel Craig was one of the best to ever play Bond! To replace him will be difficult but the actor who immediately stands out as one with immediate credibility is Jason Statham. Not many others could fill Craig's shoes with such resounding popularity or acceptance as he could for such a demanding role!
Roger Moore, was the best bond ever!!!!!!
The problem is his age. I believe he is currently 51? No doubt he is in great shape but his age might not work. But I love him, and thought about him 1st as well. Still crying they killed Daniel. My favorite Bond! All are great choices but Henry needs to be at the top? SuperBondMan! Could James actually FLY? If he had x-ray vision, he could see through women's clothing! That's kinda hot!
I thought Sean Connery was the best Bond ever…until I saw Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale”. Yes, I know they’re two totally different time periods, and styles of acting/movies have changed. But, damn!
The best James bond is Roger Moore!!!!!!!
I love Jason, but he'd have to go into a time capsule 10 to 15 years ago, unfortunately.
The role of 007 should go to Henry bce he is dedicated to all the role he his in. He will give to the role something new and more bce he is not only following a scrip he give to it, he embodies it, become it and morthies it. It will be stupid to gave it to someone else, look at what he did with the Witcher Imaging what he can do with 007 role. Daniel Craig legacy's in the role 007 was formidable, Henry will be spectacular!
Sam Heughan would be great 🤩💖🥰
Yess..perfect
FTS
Peter dinklage will be just tooo good cus no enemies will know how he came in did his thing n went out 😎
I personally would like to see James Madden as 007. He has time, physical appearance all things required for the role of James Bond
For several years now I've been saying that there's one choice and one choice only for Daniel Craig's successor.
Henry Cavill has all of the qualities required for Bond; extensive acting experience, accomplished stunt performer, quintessential Britishness and he's personable/ handsome to the nth degree.
All of the naysayers who rubbished D.C. will have a shot at H.C. He'll prove them wrong.
Two words, Liam Hemsworth.
@@esotericsage6914 Aaaahahahahaha. Anthony Hopkins would get the job first.

Everyone candidate in this list are awesome actors..
Needs to be someone 30-40, over 6 feet, dark haired, handsome, British, good actor, charismatic & able to carry a Bond film. Another Sean Connery or 1987 Brosnan.
Good luck.
Bill Skarsgard.
Umm in 1987 bobd was played by the fantastic Timothy Dalton
Sorry that's bond
@@leekereopa1960 I know. But Dalton was 40. That is pushing it now if the producers want 5/6 Bond films from an actor. Gaps between films are much longer.
A 1987 Brosnan was 33.
Sure thing Adam. Good point. I agree they really need to bring the bond movies out at least every 3 to 4 years that way if a actor is mid 30s on his first bond he could easily do 5 to 6 movies.
I am definitely not racist or sexist but James Bond should always be a white Brit. It’s just who the character is just like how Batman is a white guy or how black panther is a black guy.
You don't have to justify Bond being a white British male by saying you're not racist/sexist. You're just playing into the hands of the wokerati lunatics if you do that.
@@cockshield well spoken
