My very distant cousin Daniel Craig is holstering his Walther PPK for good. He's starred as James Bond in five 007 movies (Casino Royal, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time To Die which is out in theaters next month).

There is a lot of talk about who will replace Craig as Bond. Here are the current aggregated odds from US bookies.

Tom Hardy: 9/4
Regé-Jean Page: 16/5
James Norton: 11/2
Clive Standen: 7/1
Lashana Lynch: 9/1
Idris Elba: 9/1
Sam Heughan: 19/2
Henry Cavill: 10/1
Justin Hartley: 14/1
Richard Madden: 20/1

Who do you think should be the next 007?

*Lynch replaces a retired Craig as 007 in No Time To Die

I think it should Idris Elba or Tom Hardy
 
Someone not mentioned who would make a good James Bond: Alexander Skarsgard

Clive Owen would be good. More of a Timothy Dalton feel. Getting a little old though. Wouldn't be able to do a lot of movies as Bond.

Tom Hardy yes all the way

I'm hoping for Sean Connery. Of course, he won't be able to run as fast or be as strong unless you mean strong smelling.
 
Jason Isaac would be great in the role but he's played so many villains it'd be a hard sell ..Sean Bean would be the same..
Russell Crowe would be good but he'd have to lose about 90 lbs first...
Hugh Jackman would also make a good Bond
