With the release of Daniel Craig's last James Bond film a successor is due to be unveiled in the next couple of weeks or so. So who's your new Bond?? I'll go for Taron Egerton as my new 007, I thought he did a good job in Kingsman and could well be an excellent replacement for Craig. Too young Yep it was a concern but I think they will go young this time to freshen up the genre.

Taron Egerton - too small Idris Elba - too old Tom Hiddlestone - too thin James Norton - too posh
Tom Hardy - would have been perfect 10 years ago. Still good enough for a couple of Bond movies, but that’s not enough.
Personally I think it should go to the Poldark chap - Aidan Turner. He would bring back Bond’s classic dark and handsome look, whilst combining the dark and haunted character from Poldark.
A left field choice for me would be Bradley James. Some of you may know him as King Arthur from Merlin. I recently saw him in Damien; a very good actor and he has bulked up considerably and comes with the same rugged looks.

jeremy corbyn diane abbott as miss moneypenny. yes, i’m obsessed with them. That would be financially confusing for Diane Abbott There was gingerish haired fella tipped a couple of years ago, Damian somebody? I always thought Clive Owen would be good but expecting someone of a different colour as well

Both him and Owen are over 50 (in fact Owen is closer to 60 ( so not really in the frame these days). My money's on either Ricky Tomlinson or Alan Carr.

He bloody looked 58 by the time of View to a Kill as well - moved around the set like an arthritic ex footballer wheeled out to celebrate 50 years since winning the Watney Cup or something. It was noted at the time that Connery was shunted for being too old - only to be replaced by Moore who was a year older. Late 30's is the sweetspot for a newbie in this day and age I reckon. Cristiano Ronaldo it is then.

Stephen Graham, he’s been in everything else! Really though I quite like him but I wouldn’t mind Richard Madden being Bond.
I think it’ll be Regé-Jean Page though.

I must admit I’m not a fan of Bond at all. But I would like to see a proper mincer like Rylan Clarke just to wind up the sad fans😏
