Who is your pick to be the next James Bond?
Me
If I had a pic that would mean the actor would be popular enough for me to know him, thus every guess I could make would be in conflict with point 006
Simon Pegg would make a great comic relief.
But he's already Mission Impossible's own Q
No way Richard Madden is 'too famous' for Bond. I mean, who saw The Eternals, really?
Henry Cavill is my choice, and even Aidan Turner.
Honestly, I’d love for Henry Cavill to play a Bond villain. Just give him the scar and he’s pretty much the Bond from the novels. It would be a great foil for the new Bond actor just on a visual basis. Also, he was amazing to watch in M:I-Fallout.
Agree, he clearly loves the series and wants to be part of it. He could be like Sean Bean's character in Goldeneye - a 00 agent turned bad. But maybe that's too similar to Mission Impossible...
Henry Cavill should play Jaws
I think people are thinking about stars they want to see like James Bond, but the James Bond movies have always turned their lead actors into stars. My proposal for EON Productions of the new secret agent James Bond 007, is the English actor and model Oliver Jackson Cohen of 36 years of age, of 1.91 meters and of 75 kilograms of weight. Another possible option is Aaron Taylor Johnson, British actor, producer. Its height is 1.80 meters and weight 91 kilograms.
Before I was wondering why the Superman actor would become James Bond, but after looking at 20 choices from diffrent actors who could become James Bond. I came in the conclusion that Henry Cavil is the best choice easily being smooth in right age and ready to do action stunts in movies. In my opinion Idris Elba could make good villian, when his so old and not that great looking or Chillian Murphy could also make great James Bond villian, when he isent that good looking either, but would make intelligent villian.
Looking forward to seeing Rowan Atkinson becoming the next James Bond
You’re nuts! He could never ever be jame snobs mate! That role or that character is just not for him mate! You’re very silly if you think that! Lol!! 😂
A very cunning plan….
Actually Pierce Brosnan was already famous for the series Remington Steele. So was Roger Moore for The Saint.
They were known for those roles, but neither show had a wide global audience. Neither actor was a household name until they became Bond (Moore arguably was in the UK, but not internationally). Neither of them was anywhere near as famous as someone like Idris Elba or Henry Cavill is now.
A reboot for Bond is actually what the franchise thrives on. Casino Royale was a really great story of how Bond came to be. I'd love to see more 00's featured, such as 008/009 as field ops/back up support for Bond.
I agree but set it back in the 60s
Have it like the opening of Splinter cell double agent version 2, just two veteran agents doing what they do best.
Interesting that you didn’t mention the actors height. I don’t think it’s important but a lot of people do when talking about Bond
I think it's an aspect of his appearance (step 3), but movie magic can even make Tom Cruise look tall!
Can we get David Tennent as a villain at least? I think he’d be awesome.
As much as I like your pyramid, it is missing Connery's last Bond film. No, not that one. The one you made another video about! ;)
Man, that movie Rocks!
I guarantee you that the next James Bond will be an actor from one of those British period pieces that my parents watch. 😂
Finally!
Thanks for addressing the star-status of new Bond's actor in point 5 & 6. I was starting to think I was the only one not wanting a Cavill or a Hardy being the next Bond!
I hope he's somebody unknown to most people in the world too. Damien Molony? Jack Laskey? Jack Huston?
Don't care, pick one.
I also hope the same will apply to the next Bond girl (although I'm okay with some famous and legendary bombshells making appearances - like they did with Ana the Armas or Monica Bellucci), some new faces will only benefit us.
Also, just make three movies.
The pyramid must be completed.
The pyramid must be complete.
Aidan Turner fits every point and he's great
Great inside of how the audition is done for a Bond Actor!
Totally agree with you List, unfortunately it rules me out 😉
Rules me out as well :(
A crazy suggestion, but one that might have an interesting twist.
Cast Luke Treadaway as Bond. Not a well known actor (despite having a decent role in the Clash of the Titans and was lead in the movie a Street Cat Named Bob)
The twist here is that Luke has an identical twin brother called Harry who is also an actor and had a decent role the Johnny Depp Lone Ranger Movie and season 1 of Picard.
A perfect Bond and his evil brother story literally writes itself from there...
After "Specter", do we want Bond vs evil brother though?
@@vitorafmonteiroAs identical twins they will at least look like brothers.
@@lardonirdesco My "Specter" PTSD may be clouding my judgement, but any way the problem with that evil brother story wasn't that Bond and Blofeld weren't biologically related or identical. Sure, we have had good "Bond, but evil" villains in "The Man With the Golden Gun", "License to Kill", "Goldeneye" or even "Skyfall", but having an adoptive or biological brother will at least at first taste seem like a silly soap opera evil twin idea. Unless it is VERY well written in which case we'll get over it quickly. Still, in theory it is an inherently campy if interesting idea.
@@vitorafmonteiro agreed, my approach to it would be the evil twin assuming the role of the good twin and ruining his reputation. You can then do a fight to prove innocence leading to a confrontation and an eventual reconciling to fight a bigger foe. Campy yes but there's at least two movies worth of plot right there.
Very interesting and educational video. The only question is, when do they start the James Bond auditions?
The producers have said they might wait until they have the story mapped out and maybe director hired first so they have a good idea of what they want to do with the character, and cast accordingly. That's what they did with Casino Royale - director came on board months before Craig was cast. So it may be a while.
@@PentexProductions Okay cool. I've been wanted to do the audition for the role for a while now. I've been searching high and low but now I know it's going to take a while. Cheers for your message dude.
Feel free to take a look at my channel/showreel.
Fuck it! Cavill is the optimal choice and EVERYBODY KNOWS IT
If they had chosen him instead of Daniel Craig.
@@DailyLifeSolution JUST IMAGINE
@@joaoguilhermebastos519 I never liked Craig as Bond. Brosnan ia my favourite Bond.
Кавилл🤮
I'm starting to doubt there will ever be another Bond. It's a few years since Craig announced he was stepping down. Plenty of time to cast his replacement, but we're still having this same old discussion. I think the producers have given up but don't want to tell us.
The producers were probably smart enough to wait long enough for the woke shit to implode & blow over so they won't be forced to hire a trans non-white loser who will bad-mouth & destroy Bond before it's even released (like a certain woke shit actress hired to play snow white.)
On the American point, don't forget James Brolin almost became Bond until EON brought back Moore for Octopussy to compete with Connery returning in Never Say Never Again.
EDIT: I originally wrote Josh Brolin - whoops.
I know it is an outside chance, but I don't know why but Tom Hiddleston I think would be rather interesting. Even though he would also be a good villain
Check out The Night Manager if you haven't already. Very Bond-ian adventure that he's the lead in Hugh Laurie plays the villain - it's brilliant.
I think it should be Nicolas hoult. Have you seen renfield. Might need a bit of bulk but could easily do it
Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching
Who cares?! Bond’s done. THEY killed it.
Rege-Jean Page. He’s British, devastatingly handsome, and currently 36 so he could theoretically get 3 films in before aging out. Also far enough out from Bridgerton to not be obviously the Duke of Hastings (great call on his part to not take part in season 2).
They really should cast a Scotsman tbh
Took awhile for you to get around to it, but at 8:00 you finally came up with the one, central, salient point that makes this whole speculation game absolutely pointless for everyone: no name that I could possibly come up with, or recognize, or have any conceivable reality-based opinion about is even a remote possibility, so might as well ignore all the click-bait speculation and just passively wait for the white smoke to come out of the chimney at Chez Broccoli.
(BTW, the absolute same applies to Doctor Who, but at least in that case I suspect that deep in their hearts most American fans never really expected to know who the F Ncuti Gutwa was.)
I only missed the criteria on 4 or 5 points otherwise I'd be a shoe-in for the role.
When I saw Theo James' action scenes in the Divergent movies I immediately thought that he looked like a Bond in waiting. He's about the right age (38) and even though he himself dismisses the idea, I think he would be an excellent choice.
My top 2 choices are Sam Heughan and Dan Stevens ..fit the Bond requirements
Damn I really wanted Henry Cavill or Michael Fassbender to play Bond, mostly Cavill though, but I would've been happy with either.
Actually, being Bond half Scottish and half Swiss the chance of him not being white is quite thin.
By definition anyone who can meet the criterion of being British is an acceptable choice, and there are actually quite a few brown people in that group. Scary, I'm sure.
100% agree, Bond is not modern, during the 60s he was a relic of WW2 in the 90s he was a relic of the cold war. He will always be a part of the past, any other ethnicity would make him modern.
@@rosgarthefrog4172ah yes black people did not exist until the 21st century
I love Clint Eastwood but he would’ve made a terrible James Bond. He’s literally my favorite actor but it would’ve been hilarious
Completely agree; fantastic actor but terribly unsuited for Bond. A tiny part of me does really want to see the alternate timeline that had an Adam West Bond though!
@@PentexProductions that would’ve been hilarious too actually but do you think it would’ve been actually good or interesting? I don’t know that I can imagine him as like a slick cultured secret agent much less a British one lol. Although the man I would’ve liked to see more than anyone would be Harrison Ford. He couldn’t have pulled off the Britishness either though
I prepared all my life for this role, everything i lived was all ment for this role. It is now or never, i am 34! you said it.
I'm quite confident that it should be me.
Whoever they pick, I hope he has the inclination to portray a man who loves his cosen profession rather than a sad depressing self-hater like Craig was in his last four films. And that the producers will allow that to happen. Nobody needs "chronic depression" James Bond.
I saw something on a video about Bond a little while ago that the different iterations of him are like dark chocolate and white. Meaning you get a gritty series of Bond films played by Sean Connory then the more lighthearted ones from Roger Moore. A couple of slightly more gritty ones from Tim then back to the more lighthearted Piers era before the crap we got during the Craig era.
@@davidhurcombe6505 I thought Daniel Craig was good
What about having a realitycontest where viewers can vote for the one they think is best ?
And everyone must be without acting experience just like Lasenby and Connery.
Personaliy i think "Sam Caflin"would be best for the part.
But the francise need to be renewed ?
Perhaps with some kind of time travels ?
Alright using your guide the only person I can think of is Robert Sheehan, fits age, born in Ireland, i don't think he's too well known, i could be wrong. Personally I think he is a great actor
I think people are thinking about stars they want to see like James Bond, but the James Bond movies have always turned their lead actors into stars. My proposal for EON Productions of the new secret agent James Bond 007, is the English actor and model Oliver Jackson Cohen of 36 years of age, of 1.91 meters and of 75 kgs of weight. Another possible option is Aaron Taylor Johnson, British actor, producer. From 32 years old, height is 1.80 meters and weighs 91 kg
Farrr man how good it'd be to play Bond, but I'm not British, not an actor from Britain, but I swear i can be good looking to wear a bloody watch😂
Henry Cavill would be a good pick.
I think Idris Elba would make a great Charlie Chan, the Chinese detective. As well, I think the Chinese people would welcome him and rush to the theaters in support!
Yes the Chinese are particularly known to love black people as shown in their movie posters. (I get your sarcasm ❤️✌️)
@@JS-rm2ws LOL...Fleming described Bond as being from Scottish and Swiss parents. Is that a ''loose'' description....lol? BTW, why don't people like you talk down to the Chinese people about their lack black roles in Chinese movies? Yeah, or the lack of roles for blacks in Indian movies or why there aren't more blacks in Mexican/Latino movies and TV shows...lol?
@@francisdashwood1760 Oh Yes, because Scottish and Swiss people can’t be any other ethnicity than white…
It’s like you completely overheard the objectively true point in this video that ethnicity and nationality aren’t the same thing.
LMAO, you mad lad.
@@francisdashwood1760south India also have pitch black skin people unlike northern Part of India. I know because in my country Malaysia, we got south India community brought by British in living here since then and they have Black skin color like african is, meanwhile northern India has lighter skin
According to Tom Mankiewicz's autobiography, Burt Reynolds was never offered the role because Cubby Brocolli thought he was too short.
I dont agree with this video because the only actor who ticked all the boxes for the ideal Bond was actually never chosen Lewis Collins (RIP) he should have been James Bond between 1982-87
1:17 i never clicked on to that pattern. I hope it's somebody relatively unknown like connery, dalton and Lazenby were.
As for a "Female James Bond" the Flemingverse is pretty big. Lots of criminals, organizations and weirdos running around. I'd love to see Bond adjacent films/series be made, so that there can be thematic links between OO7 films. Having a villain or SPECTRE established in a (female, lets say) OO5 movie, or a series about lower ranking agents (Think Oceans Eleven or Leverage) would be a good way to tie things together and get people to keep THINKING about Bond, even if he doesn't show up or in a small cameo. It would also establish that Bond is part of a team. That he has certain skills that make HIM perfectly suited for some missions that say, OO2 or OO4 would be assigned to others.
I always imagined a "Bond Cinematic Universe":
-A prequel series focusing on a youg version ov Judi Dechs M, giving us a classic cold war spy thriller, with a female lead working her way through a mysoginistic establishment
-A Felix Leiter spinoff series: more bombastic Michael Bay or Mission Impossible style action, and big battles were the Marines get sent in
-A TV series focusing on Q, Moeypenny etc at MI6 headquarters: more of a comedy focus, with analysts etc doing the actual work and then the arrogant 00 agents swooping in at the end, breaking everything and getting all the glory
Sam Heughan would get my vote. 6ft 2in and Scottish. That’s that sorted.
Aidan Turner, hands down.
Race-swapping Bond is just stupid. Just like you mentioned in your video: Craig said that there should be equally good parts for others hence female and poc actors.
There's plenty of background for Bond to consider him being white caucasian, the thing that movie Bond isn't exactly the same as what Fleming envisioned doesn't mean that you should be fine when they bastardize him with race-swapping. It would be better if you respect the Fleming's vision, it doesn't matter that they look different (at least Craig looks the most different from the other Bonds), every Bond would be still a lot closer to the source material and the way of how the character was established than any other race-swapped version of Bond.
And the fact that the times change doesn't mean that Bond should be poc, UK is still statistically predominantly white country (87%). If you care so much about representation, statistically out of the presumably 9 licences to kill (''00s'') only one shoud be a poc and nothing points that Bond should be the one, you can even use his licence like they did it in NTtD, but James Bond (as a character) should stay as he is. It's fairly simple - don't race swap him, create new, unique and original characters that could be whatever you want them to be, leave Bond be as he is. :)

"who should be the next Bond and why is it Henry Cavill?"
If the casting will be an actor we've never heard of or known for something else then what do you make of the rumor of Aaron Taylor-Johnson "secretly" being the top dog? Just a ploy to throw us off the trail?
as i've seen an appearance of Aidan Turner in one interview and I think he has the look in his eyes, a deadly look. Except he is
only 5'10, pretty small in 007 standards but he is still young though. He is relatively unknown as this video showed was one
of the requirement. But if he is really a hetero-sexual male which is also one requirement, I don't know. Of course we can't cast
a gay James Bond, don't ask why, because it's a no brainer. So the name is Turner, Aidan Turner.
Me changes I think nowadays they can choose an actor who is already famous that's my point of view maybe I'm wrong because I see henry cavill as the next Bond and nobody else
Brosnan is the best Bond's character ..
Aidan Turner no doubt
The producers should look for an unknown. That’s how Sean Connery got discovered!!!!
What about having a realitycontest where viewers can vote for the one they think is best ?
And everyone must be without acting experience just like Lasenby and Connery.
Personaliy i think "Sam Caflin"would be best for the part.
But the francise need to be renewed ?

"It doesn't affect the performance or story" but it *does* indicate priorities which is upstream of both. I rejected James Blonde partly because while he *is* a power fantasy, Bond is also an "everyman". Dark, straight hair, tanned skin, able to blend into any crowd from the British Isles to the beaches of South America to markets of East Asia. A touch of makeup has him blending into a dozen ethnicities at a distance.
It's also why Bond can't be a redhead.
The title implies that we could have a random child as bond
Just collect the tokens.
I don’t know…I think it would be a mistake. Last I saw Cavill has been running around talking and acting like he is ACTUALLY Jesus.
Henry Cavill!!!!!!
Неееееет🤮
imho : Connor Swindells
I would make a good james bond villain.
You're making me thing Kaluuya isn't going to get it :(
It should be me.
Tom Hopper
While they could pick an attractive British black actor as Bond, I think most fans are expecting an attractive British white male actor to take over to keep the franchise consistent in nature. Look what happened to fans embracing Dr. Who as a white woman or as a black actor. The fan reaction was not so well taken and viewers of the series dropped. All the characters around Bond could be any race or gender for M or Q or the spy women but most fans expect Bond to be white male, attractive, fit to do some of the stunts, and British or British adjacent. The studio could add female or black actors as new spy additions as agent 008 or 009 as regular cast. Bond 007 and 008 could be a duo formula.
I think the issue with skin colours is sort of a product of people who most vocally push for a non-white Bond also being the same bunch who see Britain as an uniquely-evil empire and consequently won't tolerate the prospect of their ideal Bond having any positive connection with Britain. Without that ideological baggage, a non-white James Bond would have been far less of an issue, if at all.
The British empire was evil, uniquely evil though? Probably not, the Bengal famine and King Leopold's genocide of the Congo are both equally disgusting yet were committed by different empires, though the reason why the British empire ceased to exist wasn't because of the British government changing with the times, but due to oppressed peoples in continents like Africa rising up and fighting for their national sovereignty, the British government openly supported the fascist white supremacist government of South Africa for instance, and those same people who argued that Nelson Mandela was a despicable terrorist now sing his praises now that they know their support of a racist regime is untenable.
America was a British colony 250 years ago so I can still be Bond.
You'd be disqualified for being too old.
The next Bond is going to be a ghost.
I can make a British accent that sounds kinda like Pierce Brosnan
🙂
Please not Idris!
How can the next Bond not be Cillian Murphy?
bc he is 47 years old
Too angular, thin, non- threatening
Alex Wexo
vodka martini shaken, not stirred
Bond is ethnically half Scot and half Swiss so yes he would be white
That story changes, and can be changed further
Probably too old and famous but Dan Stevens.
But here's the irony : the world definitely does NOT need a new cinematic Bond. What it really needs is an ACTUAL real-life Bond, to protect the Western Hemisphere from the evil globalists. And I'm not even kidding. And by the way, I could be wrong but I thought the Bond character was originally written as being of Scottish origin, by Fleming.
Pattinson would be interesting based on his performance in Tenet (2020)
Unfortunately Robbat Pattinbat is spoken for. Cavill is a better fit as he has hung up his cape.
During his Twilight days I completely dismissed Robety Pattinson. But since Tenet I did a double-take. You're on to something here.
But he is too famous now.
No.... pattinson no way bro
Even if he wasn't the new Batman, Pattinson looks too neotenous to play Bond.
I would say minimum age 35 to 50 max
I will disagree on you about James Bond actor being barely know to fit the role.
Henry Cavill was super close to getting the role, he was basically the next James Bond, but Daniel got it at the end.
It was Eric Bana.He was cast but sacked at the last minute because of his background in politics ?
I really don't know why some people consider Tom Holland for the role. He's too young
I think Tom Holland is the only one seriously suggesting that Tom Holland play Bond.
@@PentexProductions Haha
The blue penguin back with another banger
Black James Bond? Nah you lost me there. Makes just as much sense as a white Black Panther.
Your example is perfect.
nooo only blacks are allowd to be ethnonationalist nooo
I only fit one trait, I am not famous, but hey I'll be 30 in a couple of years, do you think I have a chance?
Stow the lecturing.
Simply play the race card
tom hardy would be great in the roll. his performance in rocknrolla and inception has hints of bond personality.. to bad he's already famous.
Henry Cavill duhhh 🙄
my pick is probably still Henry Golding- he's in that borderline group you mentioned but i think he just has the perfect appearance/charm for the role
Eon could definitely do a lot worse!
Why the race-swapping? wouldn't it be better to create a new, original and unique character?
@@Ali007572 okay do it. create a new, original, and unique character.
@@hallwaywarrior5286 Why me? those who are creatively bankrupt should do it, because they are fine with race/gender swapping, that's lazy and stupid.
I think people are thinking about stars they want to see like James Bond, but the James Bond movies have always turned their lead actors into stars.

Just saying! In 60 years of Bond, he never needed a beard! And any beard was cleanly shaven off.
Actually, every time I see Henry Cavill play Superman or the Witcher, I see James Bond first and that character second. It'll be a shame if he doesn't land the role because we'll always wonder what he would have done with it.
I'm British Agacent (born in Ireland but part Mediterranean)
I'm a male
I'm 30
I'm working to drop 120 pounds to feel attractive (69 down as of this comment) and if I feel attractive I'll portray attractive body language easier
I'm an actor as well
That's as far as I've gotten as far
Hoping for the opposite of Daniel Craig. He was terrible .
Moi?
Bond is male and white. Black Panther is black, what would people think if the new black panther will be white ?
Nichols Hoult
What about Richard Ayoade, is he too well known? Checks IMDB, a bit long of a list. Darn it. I want to see him in something actiony.
I'd rather see him as The Doctor!
Daniel Craig was a terrible Bond, thank God he is finally gone!!!! Him and is woke bullshit politics
Elba....OUT.!
so overwhelmed with excitement of Ncuti Gutwa as doctor who, can't even think about a new bond
It would have been great if Jodie could have stayed on for one more season with Russel T Davis writing for her, but great to get confirmation of the new Doctor before the 60th anniversary next year!
There's a huge flaw in your logic. Being older than 45 is definitely *not* hurting requirement of good looking. I'm just speaking on behalf of all girls fawning over their hot 55yo professor. *However* because it is a male power fantasy, it's the dudes who need to think he's hot enough to project onto and thus needing to be younger, because dudes don't understand the power of salt and pepper hair
I think Jack Whitehall would make a great bond
Never liked Craig as Bond the just picked him because he was the cheaper option. I just pretend his movies never existed he is just a Jason Bourne wanna be, also never liked the treatment of his movies to the character, the casting of secondary characters was just awful.
Henry Cavill must be Bond he was great at The Man From Uncle he was so 007 in that film.
