The next Bond

[Tuesday Pajamas]

Anyone have any preference for the next James Bond. I really don't think much of Daniel Craig, he's just not sexy enough. These guys are the bookies picks.

1. Tom Hardy





2. Idris Elba





3 Damian Lewis





4. Aidan Turner





4. Henry Cavill





6. Tom Hiddleston





Thoughts? Of course it might end up being an outsider, but these are the contenders so far.

Tom being a 'villian' in this daft ad.

[QueenOfShebaSays]

Idris Elba.

He would mix the whole thing up. Hell to the YES!

[Tuesday Pajamas]

Idris is a firm favourite he's on : 9/2

Damian on : 7/4 (but I don't really like him).

Tom Hardy has : 5/2 (he's okay)

Henry Carvil : 6/1 (Nope)

Tom : 20/1 (probably won't get it but he's very sauve)

Aidan : 6/1 (yummy)

I don't really understand gambling odds, where's Idle? I like Idris, Tom and Aidan.

Think it will be a battle between Idris Elba and Tom Hardy

Ah this article has more up to date odds. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/mar...idris-elba

[Trust No One]

As long as Johnny or Leonard is not on the list I'm happy. 

I thought Daniel Craig did a good job.

[QueenOfShebaSays]

Jim would be more of an Inspector Gadget or Maxwell Smart.

but in all spuriousness, Idris 100%. that would b so freaking amazing.

I liked Craig as well, he was so cool and awesome. he's my fav out of all the bonds. also these movies were the best in the franchise imho.

WHY WOULD I KNOW ABOU- Oh. Yes. Carry on.

Here's the odds in a more readable (and practical) two to one form;

Tom Hardy's the favourite at 2, Lewis and Idris are both at 4.50, Fassbender, Turner and Cavill at 7, Hiddleston at 9.
Amusingly, Daniel Radcliffe is also on the list at 101 to 1. So's Orlando Legolas Bloom.

I've already ranted about this topic. At length. Whilst gesturing unsafely with a wine glass.

NO TO HIDDLESTON. For the purely selfish reason that I don't want him tied up in a macho, done-to-death franchise for the next eight years when the fucker could be doing something INTERESTING.

More mercurial Norse gods, existential vampires, Gothic inventors and literary figures. Less swanning around in a tuxedo looking normal.

Personally I want Idris. He's got class.

And I'm throwing in a wild card... Stephen Fry as James Bond.
