Who do you want to see play the next James Bond? My first choice would be Henry Cavill, followed by Idris Elba, but it's expected that Amazon wants to go younger and focus on the early days when he joined His Majesty's Service.

Rumors have popped online that Amazon is looking at Jacob Elordi (Euphoria) to play James Bond in Denis Villeneuve's film, which was written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). Casting is probably still a year away from announcing who will be selected, which leaves time for Prince Harry to become an actor.

Elordi is facing opposition with hardcore fans who want Bond to be British, as Eloridi is Australian, but George Lazenby, who played the second Bond after Sean Connery, is also from Down Under. The reason producers may want Elordi is that the film is expected to be based more on creator Ian Fleming's original portrayal of Bond as a cold, detached killer, and being 6'5 Elordi will fit the type. If that's the case, I would have liked to see Andre the Giant play Bond. Imagine him in a tux asking for a martini to be shaken and not stirred while hooking up with supermodels.

Who is your choice to play James Bond? Comment below with your thoughts.
