The next Bond?

[Goodoer]

While a fan of Brosnan's 007, Craig has proven to be the ultimate James Bond... His potential replacements seem so inferior. Tom Hardy is the best of the bunch, but he'll come up wanting...

I do like Idris Elba, but to make 007 a black guy after decades worth of movies is lame and expected.

Who here thinks a reboot/offshoot with Elba as another '00'? There were a number of them all in Her Majesty's Service. Perhaps 008?

Add him to the next 007 movie to show continuity.

Well, there’s a fan theory that states that James Bond is actually the code name assigned to whoever happens to be 007 at the time. So, Connery’s Bond was a different man than Roger Moore’s Bond, Dalton’s was a different man than Brosnan’s, etc. I like this theory because it sort of helps explain why the different Bonds are so different. Having Idris Elba play Bond is perfectly logical if you follow this theory, and I think “officially” confirming it actually makes the franchise more interesting. You’re following a lineage of super spies across different periods in history, rather than it just being a series of reboots.

Of course, Skyfall kind of throws a monkey wrench into all of this, because Craig’s Bond’s parents are actually named Bond according to their gravestone, but Bond is a common enough name that you could chalk it up to coincidence (although that’s a bit of a lame handwave).

Clive Owen would be a very good Bond.

According to audience score, fans want Tom Hardy. He says he wont do it unless Christopher Nolan directs it, that wont happen. Nolan is committed to a Hitchcock tribute film.

Idris Elba is the best choice along with Clive Owen. I'm going out on a limb here, with his work in Black Mirror and Penny Dreadful I would like to see Rory Kinnear in the role. He's in the franchise already, it could be the passing of the torch.

And with his psychopathic portrayal (proper) of Henry Bolingbrooke, he would make a physically imposing and ruthless 007...and also a bald one. Gotta support my fellow chrome dome.

I would like a lighter, more frivolous Bond. I stopped watching Craig because the movies got so fucking dark. It's summer entertainment for fuck's sakes!

Al Pacino should be the next Bond. Capiche!

This theory was dis-proven long before Skyfall.
In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, there is a scene where Bond reveals that for his preparation to impersonate a College of Arms Genealogist, he researches his own family's background. Revealing the Bond family Coat of Arms along with the family motto "Orbis Non Sufficit".
"The World Is Not Enough."

This fan theory is only held by fair weather fans, that have no real understanding of the character, and his cinematic history.

You're right, we need a frivolous 007, with a license to hump legs.

Anyone can make a dark movie. The next Bond should be directed by Tarantino as a throwback homage to Moore's 007. I would actually go to the theater to see it.

My Jamie Bond, she rocked the cut offs in Greenberg. The Incels got humiliated, Captain Marvel made $302 Million globally.

That one puppy is smart, he knows where to sniff.

The only real Bond was Sean Connery and the only real Bond girl was Daniela Bianchi.

Kate is too white. We need a black female Jaime Bond, preferably lesbo.

It was like Ian Fleming already had Sean Connery in mind as he wrote the books.

Actually no, Ian Fleming had Stephen Boyd in mind for 007, the actor turned it down - he didn't want to be typecast.

Bond Girl. British too.

I'm sure the next one will be Gay Bond - (00Semen) or Gender J. Bond who will fight against Putin for very important things. Example: for the gender neutral toilets in Siberia, for the Pride in Moscow, for the right of dick sucking in the Lenin mausoleum . Other screenplay just doesn't make any sense these days in Hollywood. The new Bond girl must be Lana or Lily Wachowski. If not, the LMBTQRSTUVQXWZ community will boycott the movie and your carrier is ended in Hollywood!

I was referring to how Bond was described in the books, 7 or 8 of which had already been written before the first movie had been made. That is different than who he wanted to play the part after the fact.

They did a Ben Hur remake with Morgan Freeman. It was terrible. The original was a classic. The Chariot race was epic
