People voted for the actors they see as the next James Bond (15 photos)

Bond has 25 films to date. And it is obvious that this is far from the limit, because the story about the great agent 007 is endless. But the actors, alas, are not. Over the years, 7 actors starred in the film, the last of which was Daniel Craig. But the blue-eyed Briton will soon pass the baton to the next contender. As the media recently announced, Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be the new agent, but the actor has not yet given his consent. However, as you know, producers and ordinary viewers rarely have the same opinions. The website Ranker held a popular vote in which viewers voted for the actors they see as the next James Bond. Do you agree with this choice?

15th place - Theo James





The actor has been loved by viewers since the time of the series “Downton Abbey” (2010-2015). In addition, Theo James is known to the public for the Divergent franchise (2014-2016) and the series The Time Traveler's Wife (2022).

14th place - Gerard Butler



Gerard, according to netizens, would fit perfectly into the role of James Bond. But few people know that the actor is capable of not only playing real heroes, he himself is one. Butler was awarded a medal for bravery, which he received for saving a drowning child.

13th place - Hugh Jackman





Almost 10 thousand Internet users would like to see Jackman in the role of Bond. Despite the fact that the actor played Wolverine in 10 films, the viewer did not associate him only with this image, which speaks of Hugh’s exceptional acting skills.

12th place - Richard Madden



British actor Richard Madlen won a Golden Globe for his role in the film Bodyguard (2018). Perhaps it was thanks to his role in this film that the actor began to be associated with Bond.

11th place - Luke Evans



Evans is a very versatile actor. He equally successfully copes with both the roles of good heroes and the images of villains. And the artist also sings. In 2019, he released his debut song.

10th place - Alexander Dreymon



The actor is known to us from the series “American Horror Story: Coven” (2013) and the series “The Last Kingdom” (2015-2022).

9th place - Regé-Jean Page



Regé-Jean Page, known to us for his role as the Duke of Hastings in the TV series “Bridgertons,” seems like an excellent candidate for the role of Agent 007 not only to the viewer. Since Daniel Craig's departure from the franchise, insiders have repeatedly mentioned that Page is being considered for the role of Bond.

8th place - Aaron Taylor-Johnson



In 2010, we knew Aaron from his role in the action comedy film Kick-Ass. Today we know the actor as the new James Bond, as the British publication The Sun announced not long ago. And although many Internet users believe that Taylor-Johnson is ideal for this role, not everyone agrees with this candidacy. That is why the actor takes only 8th position in the audience rating.

7th place - Tom Ellis



The "Lucifer" star has acquired a serious fan base thanks not only to his acting, but also to his attractive appearance. Indeed, many would like to see the actor in the role of Bond, and who knows, perhaps Tom Ellis will one day appear on wide screens in this role.

6th place - Sam Heughan



Scottish actor, best known for his role as Jamie Fraser in the TV series Outlander. For it, he received four nominations for the Saturn Awards.

5th place - Michael Fassbender



Michael's first place of work was a pub. There he worked as a dishwasher, bartender and cook. Today he is deservedly considered one of the most charming and attractive actors in world cinema.

4th place - Tom Hiddleston



In an interview with The Telegraph, Tom Hiddleston said:

"My father sincerely believed that acting in films would bore me. Acting was too far from his understanding, and he did not recognize that it was a real job."

And although Tom’s father did not believe in the actor, dozens of viewers believed that Hiddleston would play Bond flawlessly.

3rd place - Idris Elba



The artist’s path to cinema was so thorny that between his first filming, the actor had to work as a bouncer. Idris has no acting training, but judging by his performance, Elba has innate talent.

2nd place - Tom Hardy



No matter how much the audience wanted to see Hardy in the role of James Bond, the actor did not fit the role in two ways. TV presenter Ross King spoke about this. The producers considered for the role actors whose height exceeds 178 cm (Hardy's height is 175 cm) and whose age would allow them to shoot at least 3 films in the franchise. The creators of the film were basically looking for actors under 40, and Tom Hardy is 46.

1st place - Henry Cavill



The most desirable candidate for the role of Bond is Henry Cavill. In the poll, viewers gave him the most votes. And there seemed to be the most rumors surrounding his candidacy. Fans even created a fake Bond trailer with the actor.
