Who do you think should be the next James Bond?
James Norton.
shareI am not familiar with Norton but know he has done work for Doctor Who, so he has to be in very good acting company to achieve the swagger for Bond.
Idris Elba would be an interesting choice. He knows how to handle strongman dramatic roles though his name is already connected to other franchises such as The Avengers and Fast and Furious spin-off "Hobbs and Shaw."

I like Elba a great deal but at 48 he might be too old, he'd be in his sixties by his third or fourth installment
A lady could be a good switch!
Bond, Jane Bond...I'm feeling it!
Have you ever played any of the Time Crisis videogames, Time Crisis 3 in particular? There's this character named Alicia Winston and she is ba-ba-bad to the bone.
In the main story, she appears nothing more as a side character, but after completing the main game, unlocking her "Rescue Mission" perspective, it shows just how indispensable she is to saving the day.
The game plays like an 80s action movie, with all the common tropes of awesomeness. You can find the whole shebang on YouTube; haven't looked to see if it's on Twitch though.

No, I never played video games...Seems I missed out
shareNah, videogames' stories are so cheesy you didn't miss much. Except maybe The Witcher. But that's based on a novel.
shareWhich is why the underrated ones are so appreciated. Take "Gladius" from 2003, for instance. While not having much of a story, the game resolves around turn-based arena combat.
Fragments of the story are revealed in pieces. It's very rewarding since the player has to put in effort without hurting their mind. What I mean to say is that strategy games are the exception, and open-world games like Red Dead Redemption a lot of times too.

A lot of Scottish nobles are actually mixed descendants of Normans, native Scots (who originated from northern parts of Ireland) and Picts (who were always there, before the other two). The Normans are nothing alike most ethnic peoples of the British Isles, arriving from the European continent by way of Normandy, France. Do you really think all the actors who have portrayed Bond have Norman heritage, a sea-faring Nordic Viking people who traveled the whole world and back quite literally?
Are we going to begin requiring DNA blood test screenings for all potential acting candidates in an attempt to ensure that the genetic markers line up and are consistent with the role they're vying to play? Don't you realize how utterly preposterous this sounds?
I tell you DNA samples are only as accurate as the results want them to be, provided people's ancestors have not intermingled with others and stayed in one place for a historic amount of time, which isn't the case for most people, and certainly not the inhabitants of the British Isles.
