Barbara | 542 comments For days now I am hearing about Amazon's acquiring James Bond and everyone's suggestions about who should be the next JB. Right now the top pick seems to be Henry Cavill, who would not be my pick. I'd go for someone edgier like Tom Hardy.
So? Who?

J. Gowin | 8181 comments If you're going closer to the books, Tom Hardy would be solid.

If you're trying to stay closer to the movies, Henry Cavill is good.

In truth, they'll probably go with someone you've barely heard of like Jack O'Connell.

J. Gowin | 8181 comments The real questions are which car, watch, and actress?

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 8136 comments Henry Cavill, no. Tom Hardy, not suave enough. I liked the physicality and hint of emotional vulnerability of Daniel Craig. He could be in love and kill your ass, no problem. He's my favorite, so I'd maybe go for Idris. Or Fassbender.
As for the rest, what do you suggest, J.?

Papaphilly | 5057 comments Henry Cavill, yes. Tom Hardy, absolutely. Jamie Dornan would be interesting as well as Tom Hopper. My dark horse is James McCavoy. Charlie Hunnam and Colin Farrel would both be interesting too.

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 8136 comments I thought about Jamie Dornan and Colin Farrell (especially after his turn as The Penguin).

J. Rubino (jrubino) | 197 comments DH has cast his vote for Scott Adkins. I can see Tom Hardy. He was stunning and hilarious in "Legend" - I think he could handle the action and the humor.

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 8136 comments So, who will it be?

Dunno. I'm just thinking about possibilities.

Tom Hardy has a very wide range of abilities.

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 8136 comments OK, I'm convinced. Tom Hardy would be good if he can handle being suave. He's probably closest to my favorite, Daniel Craig. Next favorite would be Idris.
