4 d. ago ‘Smooth with a sinister edge’: readers on who the next James Bond should be

After Dune director Denis Villeneuve was confirmed to be the next 007 director, we asked you which actor you think should join himBond should have an element of danger about him. So yes Tom Hardy immediately springs to mind. I also think Tom Hiddleston would be good at a more lighter touch Bond though, the Roger Moore to Hardy’s Connery. All the other candidates either sound way to young or in the case of Idris Elba, great actor though he is, a bit old for the role. machineheadWhilst Idris and Tom Hardy would undoubtedly have been excellent – Tom Hardy, in particular, has that undercurrent of menace that Connery always carried – as, I think, would Christian Bale, their time has passed.
