Maybe they can find one who isn't secret gay like Craig is.

Dev Patel is pretty famous, jokes aside

I assume they mean more of Theo James type

I think they’re just letting people know it won’t be who the fans want

Well, theoretically the freshest face is going to be one who hasn't been shaving very long, only long enough for the testosterone treatments to get a beard started.
No, surely they wouldn't go there.

If they want a Theo James type, they should just get Theo James.

I feel like Theo James is arguably more famous now than Craig was at the time of his casting.

It's not even arguable. Craig had a cult hit with Layer Cake and not much else. James has had lead roles in two film franchises and the lead in three television series.

That plan worked out well for Sean Connery and Roger Moore. Hell, George Lazenby had only acted in commercials prior to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It doesn't have to be a famous actor. It needs to be a suitable actor.

I'd have no problem with Dev Patel. Dude is cool and can do action. Yes, I know he is not how Bond is described in the books.

Nobody will watch but yea Patel isn’t bad. I mean there was The Last Airbender but I’ll give him a mulligan on that one.

If they're going DEI, maybe Henry Golding.
