Who will Amazon cast as the new James Bond?

Alok Vaid-Menon - 33

A woman. Why not ruin another franchise?

I think it should go to Irishman Jamie Dornan.

I’d like to see Jamie Dornan or Theo James. Elegant and masculine is a very tricky needle to thread and no one has really succeeded in matching Connery for that. But I think both of these guys have potential.

Cynthia Errivo.

Would they have the 50 Shades guy as Bond?

Someone cheap.

He’s very good r6. I didn’t appreciate his talent until barb and star go to vista Del Mar

Andrew Scott!

Jeff Bezos

[QUOTE] He’s very good [R6]. I didn’t appreciate his talent until barb and star go to vista Del Mar

He was also excellent in The Fall. Menacing but seductive.

i have seen Jamie in person, very hot, that's for sure but quite short

They will destroy the franchise. I can see them casting someone like Austin Butler.

Jeff Bezos is a classless POS.

So this is who you want for Bond?

Laverne Cox

There will be more than one Bond. TV Bond. Gamer Bond. Animated Bond. And so on.

The first nail into the coffin of Bond was last night at the Oscars.

It doesn't matter. The film will be cheap looking shit that stays in theaters for two weeks before being unceremoniously dumped onto Prime. It will have random characters and subplots intended to serve as launch points for a much wider universe of stories no one will care about.

Harry Styles

R18 is correct, sad to say.

Amazon Prime Video has made terrible choices in the past and put forth very little original material of any quality. I don't see that changing for the better now that Bezos seems to be moving from background to foreground.

I can get behind James Norton.

And in front of him too.

Here we go........... someone new.

[quote]Aaron Pierre is quickly emerging as a frontrunner to become the next James Bond, with growing industry buzz and rising betting odds putting the 31‑year‑old actor firmly in the spotlight. The British star, best known for roles in The Underground Railroad, Rebel Ridge, and Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, has been revealed to be in talks for the iconic role, following a leak by industry insider Daniel Ritchman.

[quote]While names like Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, Henry Cavill, and Jack Lowden have long been floated for the part, the shift in odds suggests a changing tide.

[quote]Bookmakers now have Pierre gaining ground, as his odds narrow sharply to place him alongside veteran contenders.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson can have a smaller (?) role as 009.

It will have to be a Bond of color. There's no other choice.

It will not be a Bond of color because then Amazon will be blamed for wasting money on expensive IP only to ruin it with wokeness, like they did with Rings of Power.

Theo James is the safest bet at this point.

?

Idris Elba at his current age would do a better job than most of these actors listed. Give him two movies. It’s not like the man uses a walker. The idea of casting someone young so you can stick with him for two decades is harebrained, anyway. In my opinion someone should get to be Bond for about three movies, tops, and then you move on. Daniel Craig’s tenure would’ve been flawless if he ended it with Skyfall.

They still haven’t cast the new Bond? Haven’t they been talking about it for years?

We're gay op. All we care about is the theme song.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

There was a time when this poll would have included DL fav Oliver Jackson-Cohen at the top of the list.

I'm still in the Aidan Turner or Oliver Jackson Cohen camp. I could see Callum Turner.

Tom Hardy is too old. James Norton is a throwback to a Bond more like Pierce Brosnan. As hot as Theo James and Jamie Dornan are, they don't strike me as Bond.

Forget Theo James - go younger and cast Brian Altemus instead.

I would enjoy a Cole Escola bond film

They finally selected the director of the new Bond. He probably has his favoured actors.

if Dennis Villeneuve is directing its going to be gorgeous .

Denis' favourite Bond is Connery, and one of his favourite movies is Dunkirk, so maybe he'll choose Harry Styles for Bond 🙃

Jack Lowden might be in the running now.

Jack Lowden would be an interesting choice.

That is a horrible picture of him.

R37, Lowden will never be cast as Bond with a long ginger beard. He's more likely to look like R36 if he is Bond, and that's fine. Blue eyes are good, Scottish is good, height (6ft 2) is good, age (35) is good. He is a fairly well known actor but isn't super famous - also good. And he doesn't have an embarrassingly old wife like Aaron Taylor Johnson, but a very cool one - Saoirse Ronan.

Now Tom Holland throws his cap into the ring.

Too young at 29, plus small and slight with brown eyes.

Tom Holland didn’t throw his hat in the ring, he’s who Amazon wants. They’ve literally said he and two others are the top candidates. The answer to OP’s poll is none of the above. Amazon is not interested in any of them.

Gilbert Gottfried would have been perfect.

I love Jack Lowden. He's a very good actor

[quote]Too young at 29, plus small and slight with brown eyes.

Sean Connery had brown eyes.

I'm still pulling for Wallace Shawn

Tom Holland would be laughable as James Bond.

That has to be a joke of some sort. If anything, someone "leaked" the info hoping that there would be a huge outpouring of fan support to build momentum.

Enough with the Jamie Dornan nonsense, his moment has passed, he’s not a star. I know he has played a sexual sadist and a vicious killer but ever time I see a photo of him I think ‘what a nelly bottom boy.’ He’s cute but there ‘s nothing butch about him and James Bond needs to be butch.

Cynthia Erivo

It was a direct quote from Amazon R45. It wasn’t leaked by Tom’s people.

Nobody wants tiny Tom as James Bond. I'd prefer Paul Mescal because at least he looks like a man.

Next people on here will be suggesting Joe Locke for the role.

Jimeny Cricket’!

It's either gonna be Theo James or Rege Jean Paige. Those are my guesses. Joe Alwyn is a distant 3rd.

Why do you think it will be one of those three, r51?

Joe Alwyn is a milksop with no fire in his belly.

Theo James is over exposed and does cheesy modelling for perfume campaigns.

Rege isn't fierce enough.

My choice would be Joshua Sasse, who starred in ]"Gallavant" and "Monarch," and played Oswald Mosley in "Outrageous."

He's tall, has stunning piercing eyes, a great body and tons of charisma.

It will be Jeff Bezos.

Apparently Aaron Pierre is in final negotiations. I read that somewhere a few months ago.

Sydney Sweeney.

r57, she will star in the XXX parody version, "James Boobs."

Cynthia Erivo should be the next Bond.

“Bond — Jaynee Bond.”

Because it would piss off the Tate-holes.

How many times are you cunts going to make the same joke. Get some new material.

Who are these people? I only recognize the Cavill name from DL.

Idris Elba has the right voice, the right build and height and the right walk. They could’ve decided this four years ago instead of dicking around.

R62 He’s too old on paper but who knows the way black people age.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Next James Bond? Omega Partnership Fuels Speculation.

Joshua Sasse is not a bad idea, I just saw him in “Outrageous” and he’s stunningly handsome. But maybe too old already to play Bond for the next three movies over a period of a decade.

Never seen Aaron Pierre’s work. Mesmerizing green eyes, but he looks more like a James Bond villain than a James Bond.

R64 Only if the villain deathtrap involves a fucking machine.

Cynthia Erivo!

R68 Get some fucking new material you fucking cunt. Her name done been said multiples times on this thread already.

Amazon is on a budget.

What about Dan Stevens?

He has to make pussies (and mussies) moist. The kind of guy who is classy on the surface, but nasty behind closed doors.

Is Colin Farrell too old?

ATJ is out of the running. Amazon has no interest.

Source, R73?

Amazon has stated they have three actors in mind. Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson. They want young, new, relevant. Not old, failed, washed up with an ancient hag of a wife. It was in Variety the day after the acquisition. Feel free to Google it.

"According to Variety, Amazon and producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30, with Jacob Elordi (Saltburn), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), and Harris Dickinson (Babygirl) as the leading candidates. The trade magazine notes that while Elordi is Australian, the studio doesn’t consider his nationality a dealbreaker"

If they cast tiny Tom Holland they will kill the franchise. The guy isn't even good looking.

Bond should have blue eyes. Dickinson has blue eyes but he looks weak. No fire in his belly. Bond should also be around 6ft tall but compact and athletic, not a 6ft 5 giant with an oversized chin like Elordi.

Bond on a budget.

Tom Holland as James Bond!? Good Christ, these people are idiots. They may as well make him female.

Jacob Elordi is not British.

Under 30? Bond? Pedophile Hollyweird is at it again with their love of kids and guys who look like kids.

[quote] Amazon has stated they have three actors in mind. Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson. They want young, new, relevant.

Those three are considered young and relevant? Hollywood is in the dumpster.

Pity they have a director.

[quote] Is Colin Farrell too old?

He’s too ugly.

Next they will be considering Jobless Joe for the role!

Isn’t Daniel Craig little? He does look manly though. Tom Holland does not.

I read they are considering Timmy chalamet …. My name is bond James Willy wonky bond

Joe Locke: My name is Bond, Twink Bond

[QUOTE] Isn’t Daniel Craig little?

Craig is 5ft 10. Tom Holland is a minuscule 5ft 6! They'd have to cast very petite Bond girls. Maximum 5ft 2 or they'd tower over him in heels like Zendaya does.

"Tom Holland.... They may as well make him female"

Jamie Bond is now fluid and non-binary- respect their pronouns!

[quote]Who will Amazon cast as the new James Bond?

Ahem.

Holland looks like a child. The other two, I’ve only seen still photos and they seem…formless. OTOH, I knew Craig was going to be perfect as soon as he was mentioned. Cool, rough around the edges, sexy.

Maybe they’re shifting back to the pretty Brosnan-type Bond. Funny, I like all Brosnan’s post-Bond movies much better. They don’t seem to get the same press but the ones I’ve seen are all worth watching.

Holland as Bond and Timmy as sexually repressed villain Phil Mywhole.

Phil is a mad genius who schemes to drive the world into chaos by releasing his own invention: an airborne aphrodisiac that makes men insatiably horny for other men.

Bond manages the penetrate Phil's lair, but is captured. Phil makes the "mistake" of dosing Bond with the gas which "promotes" 007 to 009 and results in a weekend marathon of sweaty delightful screaming.

Phil turns himself in and is sentenced to life as Bond's houseboy.

Why not Fassbender?

Way too old R93. He also likes to beat his wife and girlfriends.

Won’t the Brits be outraged if they don’t cast someone who’s British?

Jonathan Bailey would be a better choice than most of these picks

R95 Like how having a British actor cast as Spiderman prevented those films from being successful?

What if it's NAC?

[quote][R95] Like how having a British actor cast as Spiderman prevented those films from being successful?

Obligatory not r95.

However, casting only British actors (except for Lazenby and he's still Commonwealth) has always been a thing for Bond.

Casting a British actor for Spider Man was a non-event. Casting a British Actor for Captain America would have been a bigger controversy. Casting a British actor for Superman, again a non-event since he's Kryptonian, not Kansan.

I say give it to Bailey. He’s having a great year. They could mold him. He’s more than willing. And he’s got a bit of swagger. But Amazon is terrified and would never do it.

[quote]They could mold him.

Depends on who is doing the molding.

[quote]However, casting only British actors (except for Lazenby and he's still Commonwealth) has always been a thing for Bond.

Regular rules don't apply anymore now that Amazon has bought the rights. They could do anything they want.

[QUOTE] Jonathan Bailey would be a better choice than most of these picks

Yep - at least he looks like Bond. Mid 30s, black hair, blue eyes, muscular physique.

Aidan Turner is still my top choice.

Richard Madden is my heartthrob choice.

[quote]Bond should have blue eyes.

Sean Connery did not.

Cynthia Erivo

Connery made up for it by being preternaturally handsome. Tom Holland is tiny and mousey.

Jonathon Bailey has brown eyes, R103. He was wearing blue contacts in Wicked.
