I hate being the smartest man in the world. To be constantly blessed and cursed knowledge. Like who should play the next James Bond going forward. After Bond died in No Time to Die, there has been a lot of speculation of who should take over the mantel going forward. Actors like Idris Elba, Henry Cavil, Tom Hardy and others have been rumored to be in the running, but I think I have the perfecting casting for the next James Bond. None of them.

I wouldn’t look to recast the role at all. Instead, I would continue the James Bond universe with the characters that are in it already and simply make new agents. I loved Lashana Lynch as Nomi in No Time to Die and think she should be made into 008 or something. Maybe then bring in the other rumored actors to help round out the world and bring 008 some teammates.

The role of James Bond is a very big role to fill and there is no good answer of who should fill the role. I think Daniel Craig was the best Bond. Mainly because it felt like his movies had continuity to them. The other previous Bond series didn’t really have weight to them. And with the Craig series, the events of Casino Royal impacted No Time To Die.

For the studio to go full reboot would mean we have to introduce the world again, recast all the characters again, are they going to redo the whole Spector organization? It just makes sense to continue the series with Nomi and maybe introduce other characters along the way, maybe expand the universe even more and have them go off on their own missions or series.

Right now, the world of Bond is perfectly laid out and recasting the iconic role won’t benefit the company at all. But what do you guys think? Should the role be recasted? Should Nomi continue to be the lead agent? Or are they going full reboot?
