9+ Actors Rumored To Play The Next James Bond

I'm talking Avengers: Endgame, I'm talking Detective Pikachu, I'm talking The Dead Don't Die.

It's going to be a good summer in 2019.

Or, more specifically, who will be the next person to play the prolific superspy.

Will they be British? Scottish? White? Black? A man or... dare I say it... a woman?

(And possibly Bond26). But the world is for the young, man. Out with the old in with the new, as I always say. We want to know: who is the next 007?

Not only would Idris be taking big steps for the black community by being the first African-American Bond, but there are a lot of things pointing towards him getting the role.

One said in a leaked email "Idris should be the next Bond.” Another said that it was "about time" the iconic character was played by a minority actor to play the role.

For example, big-name actor Tom Hardy has been rumored to play the role.

Even Pierce Brosnan, an ex-Bond, thinks Tom Hardy would be a good fit. The exact quote is: “I think Tom Hardy could be a good Bond. I’d be happy to see him do it.”

Starring in BBC's Bodyguard helped the young Scottish actor gain acclaim towards the role.

After all, anyone who plays a British Army war veteran working in Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service would be great for Scotland Yard.

He told Vogue: “If it was a good part. If it was an interesting part, a Bond Boy would be an interesting dynamic. Why not?”

How very progressive of you, Richard.

People seem to think that this X-Files star would be perfect as James Bond. Or... Jamie Bond? Jenna Bond? Listen, I don't write these Jennifer Bond movies, I just write about them.

This young(ish) British actor is sharp, he's witty and he's been in his fair share of action films.

And franchises, now that Dr. Strange comes to mind.

He's also used to playing British literary characters, such as Sherlock Holmes.

I'm sure a lot of us would love, just love to see Loki as Bond, but there are a couple of factors why he may not.

He's already done spy movies, he might not want to commit to such a role and apparently, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli said that he's "too posh".

This guy's acting career just started with Dunkirk, so I don't think they'd entrust the role to someone so green. Then again, he has mass sex appeal amongst One Direction fans...

Superman? As Bond?

Maybe, considering the guy has two spy movies under his utility belt already: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

Yes I know Superman doesn't have a utility belt, just try and get past it.

Now, while Gillian Anderson is a decent pick, this is who I think should be the next female Bond. Classy, sexy, but still able to kick a lot of butt (see: Mad Max: Fury Road and Atomic Blonde).

Should it be Idris? Tom? Perhaps even... a different Tom?

Or maybe it should be a certain Diply writer... one with class, a hint of danger, a sauve yet rugged look to them... What? No, not Taylor Sakellis Ugh... It's always about her!
