I think Callum Turner looks the part.
We all missed on having this guy though, he's a perfect Bond if he shed a little muscle mass. But I think he's too old.

The sad thing is we didn't get The Man From U.N.C.L.E. sequel. I'm a Bond fan but it was better than %75 of all the Bond films. Such a great spy movie, just nobody went and saw it.

Why is Theo James not on the list

Yep, Cavill would've been awesome.

Henry Cavill or Theo James seem like the obvious slam dunk choices to me. These other guys don't have the looks or the charisma for the part. Can't have the second without the first to play Bond.

Bond if he shed a little muscle mass.

I'm gonna fight you on this over Collum Turner and Jack Lowden.
I know a lot of women who like Collum Turner (he's also a former model). He's not my cup of tea but there's a reason he landed Dua Lipa. And I think he has the look for it.
He has that traditional Bond look.
And while he's such a dork on Slow Horses, Jack Lowden IS attractive. You're likely about to see a big wave of that when Pride and Prejudice drops on Netflix in December and he's playing Mr. Darcy.
I can't unsee Josh O'Connor as a young King Charles. He's not conventionally attractive but he's not ugly either. And he is a fantastic actor.

I was on the Cavill hype train for it but after seeing him in the Night Manager, I still think we missed on this guy.
I also get the feeling that Theo James doesn't WANT the part or he could absolutely land it. When he was in Sanditon several years ago (period piece) he left the show after one season because he didn't want to get boxed into one type of character. Now, I think you can do Bond and not get typecast for life (just look at Daniel Craig post-Bond).

Of those three: Lowden.
But my man Henry Cavill needs to be in the mix. His autistic arse would be a great James Bond.

Well James Bond in the books isnt a super model.

People that say this prove they dont understand who James Bond is/is supposed to be.

Cavill as Napoleon Solo in TMFU is about as close to Bond as it gets and he nailed the role but Cavill is a pro audience guy so he’s too “problematic”

Three of the whitest guys that you could find that are all certainly interchangeable.
That fourth mystery person must be a doozy of an altered course for the character for them to keep it unknown.

Callum Turner at least resembles Hoagy Carmichael who is the guy Ian Fleming based Bond's description on.

Richard Madden has all the charisma of the plastic ficus tree in the waiting room at your dentist's office.

I came here to say the same thing. He's obviously meant to be Bond.

I don't think he's interested. His name has never come up in any reports from the trades
Posted on 10/22/26 at 3:43 pm to Saint Alfonzo
The one on the left looks like the right guy.

Everyone is really fixated on the attractiveness of dudes in this thread, gay
I've never personally thought Bond needed to be the best looking guy in the room necessarily. He is supposed to be witty and charming, too. I think some of the candidates for me lose out because I don't see them pulling off that aspect of the character more than I do because of how they look. If you put any of them in a room with 100 random dudes they would probably be in the top 5 in terms of looks anyway, certainly top 10. That's all you need. Its not like they are casting Steve Buscemi
