So… it’s gonna be Peter Dinklage and that accent isn’t it?

Normally yes, but this is such an iconic role that defines eras in pop culture, I get it.

I know Cillian Murphy is too old but I'd love to see it. I like Tom Hopper too. The younger guys just aren't Bond enough.

Callum Turner (the current bookies' favorite), Harris Dickinson (somebody's favorite), and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (fan favorite), I've read are the top 3.

Makes all the "insiders" that have been launching rumors over the last year look stupid.

Tom Hiddleston is my pick.

I think the actor they pick will be someone out of left field who no one has been predicting.

To be fair it’s already going to be the longest gap between movies in franchise history.

It’s basically there now and you still have years of production and development to go. They are just brainstorming ideas at this point.

That's not a bad thing considering we need distance from the sniveling crying whining James Bond. I don't mind waiting to be disappointed because the new one will suck.

What makes you think it'll suck? Denis is arguably the best director working right now

The folks who have owned the rights of the series, from start to No Time to Die, have fully sold their creative input to Amazon. This potentially will be a completely fresh take.
