Next James Bond

[Richard A Thackeray]

Henry Cavill

Or, if he was a bit younger, Sean Pertwee?
He can be as smart/dressed up as required, but also fight (see him as Alfred, in Gotham, & supposedly ex-SAS, in the series)

FOR ME, Cavill looks like Superman, and thus could never look like Bond. (but then, they are actors, and make-up exists ...)
Pertwee?? Yeah, you'd need a time machine for him to be in the running

I don't mind as long as Elon Musk plays the villain.

Cavill would be too safe for me and is pushing it age wise at 41 for a 4/5 film series.

He's only 3 years older than Daniel Craig

Still younger than Roger Moore was???

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Daniel Craig went to the same School, & was in the same year as Chris Boardman!

The only Bond who needed a stunt double to run for him 😂

 

[wiggydiggy]

Geoff Bevos is the next Stavros surely?

 

[matticus]

Pertwee is 60!

No, Roger Moore was 57 the last time he played Bond (the same age Daniel Craig is now).

Pertwee is 60.

Currently, that 57 is the oldest any actor has been when portraying Bond.

 

[Animo]

Enjoyed Theo James in the recent silly Guy Ritchie series he was in. Would work well I reckon.

Moore just looked a lot older then?!

Has anyone mentioned Taron Egerton? He was good in the Kingsmen films, and also excellent in Eddy the Eagle. A quick Google suggests that there were rumours he was going to get the part (back in March 2024) but looks like he says he would not be the right fit. I disagree. He may be baby-faced with the physique of a racing snake, but I think that adds to the under-dog type scenario. It would be no fun if you had Dwayne Johnson for example, as you'd expect a muscle-bound hulk to dispatch the villains post haste. Having a smaller character IMO forces them to use some good old British inginuity and cunning, and a swiss army watch
