I don’t know much about the other two but please not Tom Holland
I like him! I do! the Umbrella lip sync is one of the best things I’ve ever seen! but he is just not James Bond, I’m sorry

James Bond is a leading man's role.
I could even handle a "Jane" Bond, but even there...it can't be someone girlish looking, but someone womanly.
But adult Bond is supposed to be a guy that sucks!
I’d pay to watch her bed some weak-kneed white dude then jump out the window to kill five or ten more while holding a cocktail.

(I dare anyone to look at her work as Yves Harlow and tell me I'm wrong)
And/or Moneypenny.
On the other hand, he's a good comedic actor, which sometimes translates to serious work much better than expected. I'd love to see his screen test.
No-one can play a caricature of an Englishman, as well as an Irishman could.
Ugh.
crisis of masculinity but unironic kinda (they don't write these characters almost at all any more, not sayin other types aren't also good; they are)
Amazon is weird.
I mean... the same might be said of Spider-Man, but he's cute about it; Bond isn't
Think hed rather be designing houses.
The greatest words in the English language.
You have to have a grown-up enough "vibe"(doesn't necessarily equal age) that if you were in a promotional picture with the Riverdale cast people would go "Who's dad is that?"
holland would be a disaster, and I like elordi but totally the wrong vibes and you can't be an 8 foot tall spy
the energy you need for James Bond is “hypermasculine dickbag” and that is just not on display in this list
But Daniel Craig is more complex. And IMO more interesting.
Perfect energy, doesn't even have to fake the accent.
I have an idea for an "Old James Bond" action-comedy film starring Jim Broadbent, a kind of a secret agent take on Cohen The Barbarian that I think could work wonderfully.
I want another season of In The Long Run, anyway.
Elba would (still) be amazing in a Bond-like role, but as actual Bond it would be impossible to rise above a commentary
How about John Boyega, using that 'commanding' sense he had in Attack The Block (I'm serious, he actually felt like a 'leader' for a lot of that movie, as silly as it was). SW movies got him some name recognition/known quantity, and he has the build.
Will have to check those out, though.
Theo James, I think, would be a decent choice.
