Who do you see in these 4 leading men as the next James Bond?




The odds of a young british star of being the next James Bond is on the rise as producers are narrowing it down to FOUR men as they could go as young as 31 y/o Rege-Jean Page to replace Daniel Craig!!

He would not only be one of the youngest James Bond ever but would be the first BLACK BOND!!

The betting odds still place Tom Hardy as the heavy favourite to be the successor after No Time To Die with James Norton a close second and Idris Elba 3rd but at this point, it could be anybody's game if producers want someone recognizable for the role or go for a fresh face and a bond of a different race

Who do you want to see as the next bond?

Rege - 31

IMO Bond needs to go away for a while. The series has become the focus of a silly culture war.

whoever is chosen to be bond there will be unhappy people and box office whiplash.

a good 10-15 years without bond will re-ignite the nostalgia and allow for a good reset

If he gets the role because he's the best actor who's willing to take the job, so be it. He looks the part.

I don't approve of turning 007 Black for political reasons, but I do approve of giving the role to the best man for the job. It looks like there are a couple of people in the running and race is not the sole factor in consideration.

If he gets the part, I'm reasonably optimistic that he'll be James Bond and not some guy who constantly talks about being Black so you know how progressive the producers are. If he gets the job because he's the best guy available, and the character is presented like Bond should be presented, I'm in full favor of the casting.

Tbh Tom Hardy is probably too famous for other roles, and I'm not sure he'd be a good fit anyway.

I think there were rumors of them having Bong retire in the films so other characters could become 007. Effectively leaving the door open for them to cast whoever they want.

Looks like they aren't going in that direction though.

Well Craigs Bond was always a reboot of the series right?

Hes the first but it doesnt mean hes the last. Going forward it would be easy to establish just like 007, the name James Bond, becomes an inheritable title.

IIRC Elba said he didn't want it anymore and plus he's too old for it now. If he signed like a three or four picture deal, and considering the time between them, he'd be pushing 60 when it was all said and done. This isnt like the old movies whered theyd crank one out every two years.

And yeah Roger Moore did a View To A Kill in his mid 50's but even he was regretting it. To the point where he was horrified that he was older than his Bond-girl-costar's mother.

To be fair, Bond's ethnicity is brought up in the films and novels. He's British with Scottish ancestry. (Of course, a Black person could still have British/Scottish ancestry as well.) I wouldn't say that Bond is the quintessential White guy and should remain as such. But it has been specified.

I will say this much, I would be annoyed if they remade Rocky and he was anything but Italian.

Yeah but the issue with that is that theres so much representation for white characters and little for black characters.

Plus, when black people do get new characters white people still complain about it. So we just cant win anyways.

There's been 5 or 6 movies much older than that in the series that debunked it already.

The code name stuff is nonsense.

I mean the other 00s had different names for their number.

Why would Bond be different?

Anyway I sometimes wonder who was 007 before Bond.

I mean did they get killed or just hung up their PPK?

Agent 007 can be any race, any gender, and any sexual orientation. However, James Bond can only ever be a straight, white, British male.

It would seem like milking the franchise but it would be cool to see movies featuring the other 00s other than them being killed or mentioned.

The people that want a black Bond don't watch the movies in the first place. This has been demonstrated time and time again every time characters are made specifically to appease the woke crowd and then the game or movie ends up bombing. The people complaining have no actual interest in the product, they just want to stick it to white guys by ruining things they like since they want to blame white guys for everything that is wrong in the world.

Making a white Bond won't effect movie ticket sales at all. There will just be whining on Twitter. Race swapping a 50+ year old character, that is based on real life people, will effect movie ticket sales. I mean ffs, just make a black 00 as a sidekick for a movie or two. In the entire franchise (not counting No Time to Die since it isn't officially out yet) we have only ever seen one other 00 besides Bond. They can make another 00 character to team up with for the movie, and who doesn't become the villain.

I've always found it stupid that James Bond keeps changing. It'd be one thing if 007 was a different guy every time (as in, his name isn't James Bond). Completely different actors, but they're always James Bond.

Anyway, I've never heard of Rege-Jean Page before, but from the pictures here, he doesn't look like a "badass secret agent" type of guy. And neither does Tom Hardy to me. Idris Elba or James Norton would fit the "badass" role though. But I know people would be up in arms about "Bond should only be white" if they went with Idris. Maybe cast him as a different 00?
