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
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
