When I saw Layer Cake, my instant thought was, "This Daniel Craig chap, he'll be Bond". Thankfully, I was right, and he was good.
Now he's off, who's next?
I shall lay my cards upon the table, based on another film viewing. Trawling through the options, I saw Transporter Refueled, and watched it. Harmless cinematic fluff, but I had the same thought about the lead, Ed Skrein. He's my pick for the next Bond.

I reckon he'd be good!

It's going to be Elba or Hiddlestone, innit.

Elba is too old, isn't he?
SHould be elba will be Hiddlestone- who i have an irrational hatred of though he is clearly a talented thespian
After watching the man from uncle i could see Henry cavill pull it off quite nicely

43. 5-6 years diff from how old Craig was for his first Bond film.
I'd like to see Jason Isaacs have a crack, but I think he is too old now.
I think the next Bond will be black. I'm not up on films and celebs so I have no idea whio.
Then I think the one after that will be a woman!
Elba is way to old and hes said he doesn't want to be the first black Bond , Ed Skrein looks a good call tho .
Would like to see Jamie Bell as Bond.
Think they would play it fairly safe with an internationally known actor.
I was gonna say a lady.
Which one though?
Prince Harry or Bikebuoy.

If they make the next Bond black or a lady then they are going to need some serious retcon to explain it.
I suggest either:
a) Bond is a Time Lord and regenerates every now and then. (This would also help explain the odd timelines and his liking of bow ties).
b) Daneil Craig's final mission is to defeat a baddy who has taken over CERN to try to open a portal into a Parallel Universe.
c) "Bond" is just a codename given to the current 007. Makes sense since we know there have been several "M" and "Q".
Layer Cake was basically a Bond audition and it looks like the Night Manager is the same... I don't like Hiddleston for Bond at all, personally, but he's a great actor at least. Idris Elba could be great, if it was the right Bond but after Craig's shagged out Bond that might get to be a bit too much...
Chiwetel Ejiofor, would be my pick. It's not just the "let's make a black Bond" thing, though I do like how that would **** with casual racists. He just fits the role, if he bulked up a bit.
I'd be up for a female Bond but I'll be honest, I don't know who.

Hardly, Bond isn't a persistent or coherent timeline, never has been. The films contradict or retread each other, Bond gets older, younger, Scottisher, dafter or straighter...
Chantelle Goya..
I'd pay to watch her.

Hora for Bond.
Hiddleston or that uncle chap
Would like it to be Idris. Last time I saw him I was stood 8ft away from him losing my shit as he dj'd at Glasto last year, he's a damn good dj, don't think my brain could compute Bond and that
& for my next stupid suggestion: Dr Lucy Worsley [img]

Jason Isaacs is 53. No way jose
Oh holy crap....
Lucy !!
YES please......
'Swoons'
😳
Didn't the bookies stop taking bets on Hiddlestone earlier in the week? Or has something else changed?
Karl Pilkington.

That's why I said I think he's too old now.
Michael Fassbender
I'm adding David into the mix, about the same catagory of actor as the plumber whose the present Bond.

Skrein's a good call.
Mark Strong
Who cares? There'll only ever be one Bond.
Cillian Murphy..?

David Niven?
Hiddlestone next, then John Boyega
Bond could be black, no problem. Felix Lieter changed skin colour and no one minded. Idris Elba could be good but he's almost typecast as a bruiser renegade type, sort of like Daniel Craig. So I think he'd actually be less of a change than a skinnier, slicker bond a la Hiddleston. Fassbender is a good shout but I haven't heard his name mentioned elsewhere.
I'd vote for Tom McHiddlestonFace, but then they're not doing this via public poll, are they?
Left field choice: Ruta Gedmintas

I'd rather not Tom Hiddlestone - they should take an unknown
I've thought hiddlestone should be bond for a while. Can't stand Idris effing Elba, I have no idea why but he just annoys the shit out of me.
Imagine Loki but as a secret agent and no silly hat. Sounds good to me.

Yes massive bet on Hiddlestone so they closed the book (previously there have been large bets on Elba but this one was much larger supposedly)
It won't be a black actor imho as they won't take the risk with the frnachise value, we might be ready here butnit won't playbwell in Asia or the US in my view. Cinema in the US has plenty of black heros, James Bond is different and won't be one of them.
Small side bet that Graig relents amd comes back for 1 or 2 more films
Emily Blunt if a woman - other than Roy Keane it had to Idris. Don't buy the too old tag as people are aging slower.
I'd hate to see Fassbender playing Bond. He's way better than that kind of shite.
Fassbender doesn't have the range 😉
