Who will Amazon cast as the new James Bond?

Alok Vaid-Menon - 33

A woman. Why not ruin another franchise?

by Anonymousreply 2March 3, 2025 1:11 PM

I think it should go to Irishman Jamie Dornan.

by Anonymousreply 3March 3, 2025 1:19 PM

I’d like to see Jamie Dornan or Theo James. Elegant and masculine is a very tricky needle to thread and no one has really succeeded in matching Connery for that. But I think both of these guys have potential.

by Anonymousreply 4March 3, 2025 1:32 PM

Cynthia Errivo.

by Anonymousreply 5March 3, 2025 1:35 PM

Would they have the 50 Shades guy as Bond?

Someone cheap.

He’s very good r6. I didn’t appreciate his talent until barb and star go to vista Del Mar

He was also excellent in The Fall. Menacing but seductive.

i have seen Jamie in person, very hot, that's for sure but quite short

by Anonymousreply 12March 3, 2025 2:51 PM

They will destroy the franchise. I can see them casting someone like Austin Butler.

Jeff Bezos is a classless POS.

It doesn't matter. The film will be cheap looking shit that stays in theaters for two weeks before being unceremoniously dumped onto Prime. It will have random characters and subplots intended to serve as launch points for a much wider universe of stories no one will care about.

by Anonymousreply 18March 3, 2025 3:34 PM

Harry Styles

by Anonymousreply 19March 4, 2025 6:33 AM

R18 is correct, sad to say.

Amazon Prime Video has made terrible choices in the past and put forth very little original material of any quality. I don't see that changing for the better now that Bezos seems to be moving from background to foreground.

by Anonymousreply 20March 4, 2025 9:56 AM

I can get behind James Norton.

And in front of him too.

by Anonymousreply 21March 4, 2025 10:00 AM

Here we go........... someone new.

[quote]Aaron Pierre is quickly emerging as a frontrunner to become the next James Bond, with growing industry buzz and rising betting odds putting the 31‑year‑old actor firmly in the spotlight. The British star, best known for roles in The Underground Railroad, Rebel Ridge, and Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, has been revealed to be in talks for the iconic role, following a leak by industry insider Daniel Ritchman.

[quote]While names like Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, Henry Cavill, and Jack Lowden have long been floated for the part, the shift in odds suggests a changing tide.

[quote]Bookmakers now have Pierre gaining ground, as his odds narrow sharply to place him alongside veteran contenders.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson can have a smaller (?) role as 009.

by Anonymousreply 23June 22, 2025 11:35 PM

It will have to be a Bond of color. There's no other choice.

by Anonymousreply 24June 22, 2025 11:46 PM

It will not be a Bond of color because then Amazon will be blamed for wasting money on expensive IP only to ruin it with wokeness, like they did with Rings of Power.

Theo James is the safest bet at this point.

Idris Elba at his current age would do a better job than most of these actors listed. Give him two movies. It’s not like the man uses a walker. The idea of casting someone young so you can stick with him for two decades is harebrained, anyway. In my opinion someone should get to be Bond for about three movies, tops, and then you move on. Daniel Craig’s tenure would’ve been flawless if he ended it with Skyfall.

by Anonymousreply 27June 23, 2025 12:06 AM

They still haven’t cast the new Bond? Haven’t they been talking about it for years?

We're gay op. All we care about is the theme song.

by Anonymousreply 29June 23, 2025 1:58 AM

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

There was a time when this poll would have included DL fav Oliver Jackson-Cohen at the top of the list.

I'm still in the Aidan Turner or Oliver Jackson Cohen camp. I could see Callum Turner.

Tom Hardy is too old. James Norton is a throwback to a Bond more like Pierce Brosnan. As hot as Theo James and Jamie Dornan are, they don't strike me as Bond.

by Anonymousreply 30June 23, 2025 2:20 AM

Forget Theo James - go younger and cast Brian Altemus instead.

They finally selected the director of the new Bond. He probably has his favoured actors.

if Dennis Villeneuve is directing its going to be gorgeous .

by Anonymousreply 34June 26, 2025 12:33 PM

Denis' favourite Bond is Connery, and one of his favourite movies is Dunkirk, so maybe he'll choose Harry Styles for Bond 🙃

by Anonymousreply 35June 26, 2025 1:16 PM

Jack Lowden might be in the running now.

Jack Lowden would be an interesting choice.

That is a horrible picture of him.

by Anonymousreply 37June 27, 2025 1:29 AM

R37, Lowden will never be cast as Bond with a long ginger beard. He's more likely to look like R36 if he is Bond, and that's fine. Blue eyes are good, Scottish is good, height (6ft 2) is good, age (35) is good. He is a fairly well known actor but isn't super famous - also good. And he doesn't have an embarrassingly old wife like Aaron Taylor Johnson, but a very cool one - Saoirse Ronan.

Now Tom Holland throws his cap into the ring.

Too young at 29, plus small and slight with brown eyes.

Tom Holland didn’t throw his hat in the ring, he’s who Amazon wants. They’ve literally said he and two others are the top candidates. The answer to OP’s poll is none of the above. Amazon is not interested in any of them.

Gilbert Gottfried would have been perfect.

Tom Holland would be laughable as James Bond.

That has to be a joke of some sort. If anything, someone "leaked" the info hoping that there would be a huge outpouring of fan support to build momentum.

by Anonymousreply 45August 5, 2025 2:12 AM

Enough with the Jamie Dornan nonsense, his moment has passed, he’s not a star. I know he has played a sexual sadist and a vicious killer but ever time I see a photo of him I think ‘what a nelly bottom boy.’ He’s cute but there ‘s nothing butch about him and James Bond needs to be butch.

by Anonymousreply 46August 5, 2025 2:44 AM

Cynthia Erivo

by Anonymousreply 47August 5, 2025 2:47 AM

It was a direct quote from Amazon R45. It wasn’t leaked by Tom’s people.

by Anonymousreply 48August 5, 2025 3:26 AM

Nobody wants tiny Tom as James Bond. I'd prefer Paul Mescal because at least he looks like a man.

Next people on here will be suggesting Joe Locke for the role.

It's either gonna be Theo James or Rege Jean Paige. Those are my guesses. Joe Alwyn is a distant 3rd.

by Anonymousreply 51August 6, 2025 3:13 AM

Why do you think it will be one of those three, r51?

by Anonymousreply 52August 6, 2025 3:14 AM

Joe Alwyn is a milksop with no fire in his belly.

Theo James is over exposed and does cheesy modelling for perfume campaigns.

Rege isn't fierce enough.

by Anonymousreply 53August 6, 2025 3:29 AM

My choice would be Joshua Sasse, who starred in ]"Gallavant" and "Monarch," and played Oswald Mosley in "Outrageous."

He's tall, has stunning piercing eyes, a great body and tons of charisma.

Joshua Sasse is not a bad idea, I just saw him in “Outrageous” and he’s stunningly handsome. But maybe too old already to play Bond for the next three movies over a period of a decade.

by Anonymousreply 65August 7, 2025 12:56 AM

Never seen Aaron Pierre’s work. Mesmerizing green eyes, but he looks more like a James Bond villain than a James Bond.
