Who should be The Next Bond? ?

Tom Hardy or joe lycett

Tom Hardy, James Norton, Idris Elba can't decide out of these three.

James Norton

Tom Hardy or James Norton.

I think this last Bond film should be the last imo.
Daniel Craig would be a hard act to follow.

Should there even be a “next Bond” ?
Camilla Long in today’s Sunday Times describes the latest Bond film as
an orgy of mediocrity. It is almost hilarious.
Even the “baddie” has been emasculated by woke or political correctness
This leaves us with a flavourless drip of no specific background, who won’t offend anyone, who doesn’t really do anything, who’s at the centre of what’s essentially a three-hour perfume ad, in which Bond breaks off from killing people only to show off his new mobile phone or eye one of the thousands of Range Rovers that cram every shot

What’s the point?

Idris Elba

I’ve just been looking at the odds on William Hill. My choice is 100/1, but the maximum stake for him is a paltry £2.50!

I’m not much of a film buff Fanny and there are a couple of suggested names I don’t recognise. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve just spent a few minutes trying to picture the actor William Hill before the penny dropped ?

Katie I can’t see a there being a female Bond either, as Barbara Broccoli (fabulous name - I think that we should all have alliterative vegetable based names) has said that she’s against it.
I wouldn’t be surprised by a hint of bisexual shenanigans though.
But not if he’s black though, Black and Bi would be too much for the money men

I think that Idris Elba is too old. They should have cast him ten years ago

Did you have same problem?

Whoever is chosen to play Bond the basic character will remain because it makes money, that will be the overriding concern. I would not be surprised to see a non white Bond but I doubt they will have a female or a gay Bond.

I went with my DH to see the film, I am not a Bond fan and it lived up to my expectations! DH who enjoys some Bond films wasn’t impressed and said he could have left half way through.. Not sure that the ending was how it was portrayed to be so watch this space! I do like Daniel Craig though.

Idris Elba .

Not Doris Elba (as changed twice by my kindle!)

Idris Elba

I didn't enjoy it as much as previous ones, but still enjoyed it. The first half hour was just trailers, which I can't be bothered with.
I think Daniel Craig is too old for the role now. My favourite was Timothy Dalton, in, The Living Daylights. which is also my favourite Bond movie.

Do you have a hotline to the makers? Now I'm even more confused Fanny. I think I have turned into a confused old biddy! ?

You’re making it worse now!

Did you enjoy the film? Was three hours too long?
For what it’s worth, I’ve never enjoyed Bond films, but I’ve got a hunch on who the next one is going to be.

PS. I did see the film!

I may have totally got it wrong, Fanny. Now I am totally confused!!! ?

Mary you’ve totally confused me!

Regé-Jean Page

Oh, have I missed something. I thought that was the last one! At the risk of posting a spoiler, I won't say why!

I actually can't think of anyone worthy of the role.

Ben Miller

Cillian Murphy.

James Norton
