http://variety.com/2015/film/news/tom-hardy-james-bond-uk-bookies-1201583973/ A betting war is brewing across the pond for who will be the next James Bond. BoyleSports, an online bookmaker based in Ireland, has polled a new contender to take over the franchise, following Daniel Craig’s eventual departure. The name is Hardy. Tom Hardy. “The Next James Bond market has certainly come alive with all the support coming in for Tom Hardy, who is now 4/1 from 6/1 to take over from Daniel Craig,” said BoyleSports spokesman Liam Glynn in a statement. The news is sure to leave Idris Elba fans shaken, not stirred. It follows Tuesday’s social-media outcry after 007 author Anthony Horowitz told the Daily Mail that Elba is “too street” to play the debonair English spy. Elba is tied with former “Homeland” actor Damian Lewis as forerunner for the race with betting odds 3/1. Superman himself, “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill, also has substantial support, with BoyleSports slashing the odds at 4/1 — matching Hardy. “With the support showing no signs of drying up, we are expecting Tom Hardy to be the new favorite for the role sooner rather than later, which could result in BoyleSports being hit hard if Hardy lands the role,” Glynn said. Other men rounding out the top 10 for the bookmaker are Michael Fassbender, Richard Armitage, Orlando Bloom, Dougray Scott, Lewis’ “Homeland” co-star Rupert Friend and Elba’s “The Wire” co-star Dominic West. Although those close to the franchise expect Craig to reprise the role for at least one more sequel following the upcoming “Spectre,” Craig told Esquire, “I have a life and I’ve got to get on with it a bit.” “I really don’t know. Honestly. I’m not trying to be coy,” he told the magazine. “At the moment I can’t even conceive it.” |

Henry Cavill and Michael Fassbender are in the running?
I wouldn't mind seeing a little variety in the James Bond casting so a Black man in the role would be interesting to see. I would go a little further in this age of transgender and gender benders and maybe have a woman fill the role � la Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan. She scored an Oscar nomination. |

Roger Moore was the hottest and sexiest James Bond. My mother agrees with me.

This is nowhere near Samuel L Jackson in a Star Wars film. It's future it's space it's fantasy it's sci-fi, it could happen did happen and was well played. Idris as Bond 007... A ridiculously far stretch that would disenfranchise the 50 some odd year old franchise's core audience. It'd have been like Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves (I love Chipper Jones and the Braves are my favorite team for over 20 years) playing Jackie Robinson in 42. It would be believable and both would have the skills to pull it off but it would'nt feel right. It would detract from the film like a cloud of gnats or someone farting up a storm two seats away. Idris Elba is an extremely talented actor and he will get better roles. Craig is a good Bond imo and has done better films himself. In fact, during the Boar wars, Britain's Black operatives were the ones utilize to undermine South African Blacks who sided with the Dutch. Britain had many Black operatives and spies. But I think he'd make a great Bond, but Danial Craig is my all time favorate, he is more convincing actor than those before him. Just in my opinion. Others choose Sean Connery as the best. Yeah, can be true, still doesn't mean to say that JB has to be black. Same thing if Superman suddenly would be black or Asian. Doesn't work, and there shouldn't be a need to do so. Why should white people always have to prove we don't discriminate? True equality would simply accept that Donald Duck is white, so is Ivanhoe and so is James Bond. And yes, Idris Elba would make a good spy or action hero, so maybe if they do a similar series or movie sequel he could be the guy. In fact, many of American cartoons are of Japanese origin. We remodified them. Making this racial is asinine. It wouldn't bother me one bit, the important thing is the ability to act and convey the character convincingly. i think denzel washington would have made a great bond... way better than Pierce Bronson... But I think the British would have a fit if Bond wasn't British. |
