Will one of these actors become the next James Bond?
Theo James
Theo James became truly compelling afterThe White Lotus.
His performance was devious, magnetic, and impossible to look away from exactly what a young Bond needs.
Kingsman: The Secret Service / 20th Century Fox
Hes got that physical presence, but doesnt look like he was built in a lab.
Taron Egerton
Yes, Taron Egerton already did the spy thing inKingsman.
That just means he knows how to sell a fight scene while wearing bespoke tailoring.
Bond cant start out as a cold-blooded machine.
Hes believable as someone whos constantly calculating, which is essential for a spy character who isnt just muscle.
His classical training means he can handle period dialogue without sounding like hes in a high school play.
The White Lotus / HBO
Hes got this coiled intensity that suggests danger without needing to throw a punch.
AfterCrazy Rich Asians, hes proven he can do both charm and action.
What he lacks in traditional acting credits, he makes up for in raw charisma and unpredictability.
Kingsman: The Secret Service / 20th Century Fox
Plus, the marketing practically writes itself.
Might it be brilliant?
