I misread it. The article kinda plays it off like it’s something more. I didn’t catch the part about Bond being retired.

I want three more movies in this series.

I've been watching Bridgerton on Netflix and think Regé-Jean Page would make an awesome Bond. He's got that rugged charm, and he's about the right age.

Regé-Jean Page is pretty good in the series but I don't know that he would be the right fit for Bond. I would love Idris as he seems to have a gravitas to hold the big screen not sure Page does as well but this is the first role I have seen him in and his character comes off as fairly petulant in Bridgerton at times but that is the storyline he was given so...

From that photo I can’t tell his ethnicity. Not sure how outraged I should be!

^ holy shit. That is bonkers. “He’s fit, he’s strong, blah blah blah.” Not as eloquent as Elba now, but amazing you found that Deck. Before The Wire and everything. Nuts. But, yeah, thinking now Idris might be a tad old for this character and they’d be wise to go young.

I still like Henry Cavill but I think he’s too we’ll known at this point. I guess my vote is for Sam Heughan.

I do not really know the younger actors who could play Bond. Michael B Jordan? Probably too tough of guy physically.

I dunno, I guess that Brigerton guy. Never saw him work though. I dunno any young white actors who would come close to fitting. But, perhaps non-American and or British or Scottish, European what have you, but definitely black.

I know Craig played Bond more Americanized. Don’t even remember accent, but a cool and good acting black British guy sounds enticing and can totally picture. There should be more movies featuring black actors as spies. Jordan in Without Remorse wasn’t actually that good.

The white ones are so vanilla. Taron from Kingsman (he’s not bad actually, Taron Egerton), Damon Bourne, host of others. But, so played and freshness would do stale franchise good.

Spectre was very forgettable. I have no idea what about, but CR and Skyfall were the best. Solace was just not good. Need to see again though. Really would love to do marathon of all, including Never Say Never Again, digitally one day.

I voted for Fassbender and still feel he's a great choice. The perfect choice would have been mid thirties Clive Owen

Whoever they do hire, it needs to be someone who could sign a 4 to 5 picture deal and potentially play Bond for the next decade plus. A new Bond film likely won’t come out for at least 3 years.
