Richard Madden could do it. Loved him in Bodyguard.

I have not seen a Bond film in like 15 years, it is unlikely I will again unless Christopher Eccleston is cast.

I think Barbara Brocolli (or her and Wilson) owns 50% of the Bond film & TV rights. The other 50% is owned by United Artists, or whoever now owns UA.
A couple of decades ago, UA (or their then current owner) bought all rights to Never Say Never Again and the 1967 Casino Royale from Columbia, so now all of Bond's film & TV rights are owned by Brocolli & UA. That's why they were able to make the Craig Casino Royale.
The Fleming estate still owns the literary rights, and has been licensing new Bond books for a while now.
I don't consider the 1967 Casion Royale to be a real Bond film, though Never Say Never Again qualifies.

Thank you for the perfect description of Grantchester. Really did make me LOL.

Moonraker is one of the duller books, partially because there are no exotic locations. Although interesting in that Bond does not get the girl. I felt a bit sad for Bond at the end. He seemed to sense that he was destined to die alone.

Invent your own hero and leave Bond alone.

Yeah, that might just work out real well.

"Broccoli has previously confirmed that the new Bond will be male..."
I think he really means "will identify as a male, at least part of the time"

I think Barbara Broccoli identifies as female LOL.
To: Governor Dinwiddie; All
Yes. A Rue Paul character so it can have sex with both sexes seamlessly.
To: Skywise
Tom Hardy would make a good Bond. 👍
Just watched a documentary about the music for the Bond movies on Amazon.
Very Cool.
Looking forward to what comes next. An excellent franchise.

If the new one isn’t about a super confident macho man who foils foreign spies with feats of bravery with beautiful babes at his side while engaging in gratuitous sex and violence, who will go to see it?

James Bond will under a gender transition while saving the planet from climate change. And they’ll start with a remake of Goldfinger in which the laser goes a few inches higher.
