    I would think his relationship with Dua Lipa might honestly be a boon to production, more so than Aaron Taylor Johnson with the controversy about his much older wife.

    They wouldn’t need to look far to find someone to sing the next theme song, either.

    Be still my heart. Pull a For Your Eyes Only and put her in the credits sequence, I don’t care!

    I'd say Dua Lipa is a decent guess as to the next title singer.

    This guy robably fits Amazon's younger Bond description:

    Corey Mylchreest

    British actor. Done tv work for Netflix so not a total unknown with no tv experience. Age 28.

    His latest work:



    He seems to tick some of the obvious boxes.

    Good looking albeit in a soft ish way.
    Decent voice.
    Streaming tv work so not a complete unknown.
    Right age.

    Reminds me of Nicholas Hoult mixed with Tom Cruise in appearance.

    I don't know if he has the acting ability/screen presence for Bond but a name I've never heard of before. May have potential.







    I posted about him earlier, as I think he's a viable candidate for Bond. Yep.
    He really shone as King George III in Netflix's Queen Charlotte.

    I know nothing about him (that said, from the pictures, goodness he looks young!), but wouldn't be surprised if the actor would come off some successful streaming drama, such as Bridgerton. Someone who is neither a star nor famous, but has a certain following and a modest fanbase already. I wouldn't be surprised either if they'd go for someone who has a track record in a drama aimed at women, so he can potentially appeal to them.

    I've started watching Masters of the Air finally, and good though Turner is, he's kind of unfortunate to be next to Austin Butler, an actor who really has just got that 'it' factor, that little bit extra: sort of effortlessly cool and doesn't even seem to be acting.

    Said like someone who wasn’t introduced to him by The Shannara Chronicles.

    You didn't see him in Yoga Hosers first?

    I have never heard of that, but just looked it up and it makes me slightly depressed to discover Kevin Smith named his daughter Harley Quinn Smith.

    Never heard of him, but I hope he doesn’t have a west country accent.

    ‘The name be Bonnd…Jaaaames Bonnd’

    Driving a tractor instead of an Aston Martin.

    If we here have never heard of him, I can’t imagine other Bond fans are talking about him. I can’t help wonder if the article has been written by someone who knows him and who is trying to help a mate out.

    Executives at Amazon: ‘Who?’

    Looks like James Nelson-Joyce but with blond hair. Never heard of this guy.

    I fully agree. If you look at his IMDb profile, the others also viewed section is a who’s who of potential Bond contenders.
    At 37 I’d say his chances are small if the casting age of Amazon is true.
    Can’t say he really has a very Bondian look.

    I think Scott Rose-Marsh looks alright, actually. I'm hoping the next Bond actor is someone under the radar a bit, rather than a well known mega-legend.

    I'm hoping for the same. However, I do hope that, if it is an unknown, there are plenty of good reasons to back it up, namely looks and charisma and acting chops. Scott Rose-Marsh isn't the one. At the moment, no one is, but that is the point of calling someone an unknown, I suppose ;)
