If Craig is your only Bond ever, then I am sorry but you're being narrow minded and not open at all to the different possibilities they could take the franchise in. And you are setting yourself up for disappointment for when Craig inevitably moves on.
And I'm not going to sit here and list a bunch of people, because anyone in Hollywood with an accent and any ounce of charisma mixed with a certain fierceness could play Bond. It depends on what they want to do going forward.
For the record I am totally on team Emily Blunt for Bond. Fuck the idea that Bond has to be a man. Or if you wanna stay with that Y chromosome, Idris Elba is my second pick.
Let's just say I wouldn't trust it with nuclear launch codes
Good thing I'm not running for president then
Even considering that, you and your beard would be far from the worst choice.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I personally like this look 10x better than your old one. Evilness level is in question.

I mean, there's been 6 other Bonds already if memory serves.
1. I'm sorry but that shows me you lack appreciation for the little things that make Bond what he is, he's more than a handsome charming guy, theres so many little things, revealing looks, mannerisms and lets not kid ourselves the look is fucking everything (not his muscles or chizzled face, the image) and Daniel Craig looks like James Bond, unlike most of the actors who preceded him he made himself iconic in the role..
2. I'm not even going to address the Bondette idea because it's so implausible to actually happen and the idea bores me (I love you Emily Blunt, there are better roles out there for you than a cheap re-working of a male character)
3. Idris Elba is actually a total contender in my book, the only problem being that they would have to restart the whole franchise again, I mean you can't keep the same timeline and have Bond out of nowhere become a black guy and no one says anything about it, that would just be immersion shattering.
I'm sorry but for someone who claimed their were literally dozens of people who could play him you've only put fourth a half hearted second suggestion

pls. stupid romanceguy subplot lines ruin everything.
People keep saying this and I find it unfortunate, I feel Steve being in the movie leaves room for one of the most heart wrenching moments in DC comics to come on screen.
When WW visits Steve in a nursing home when he's like 90, they even did it in the JL cartoon and it tugged my heart strings.
Also nobody working under Zach Snyder would be that brave, let's not forget the "boy lovers" jokes in 300, a movie about a bunch of guys who were notorious for fucking each other before and after fighting.
Romance in general ruins action movies, can we just watch Wonder woman fight shit and not worry about who she's fucking?
I'm fine with the idea that he's her connection to the world of man and she's completely oblivious that he's into her buuuut I don't trust writers to keep it that way.
Marvel beat them to it anyway

So the things I'm getting from this post are:
1. Only white men can play Bond
2. Strong, independent, badass women are boring
3. Preserving the timeline is more important than trying new things and evolving as a franchise
And I'm on my phone and running on 3h of sleep so actually listing dozens of Bond characters is so low on my list of priorities and honestly I don't give a fuck about it in my current state
Who ever said anything about romance

Yes!
Bond is really just a concept. The real hero is an office worker played by Martin freeman
Let me re-write what were clearly thinking with those numbered points.
1. You're racist
2. You're sexist
3. Why would the timeline mean anything and you certainly can't do new things whilst also maintaining what's been established.
Now heres my response.
1. I said I like Elba and I'm all for him, fuck it reboot the movies I was just saying what the one problem with that might be.
2. I didn't say that, if you want I can dig up my fawning review of Sicario and how great i thought Blunt and her character was. If you wanted to do a female Bond you would have to change a lot of shit to the point where it wouldn't be Bond and you would just be calling her Bond because. Or you could have Emily Blunt play a man.
3. Preserving the timeline is what's important to the studio, because established low risk things tend to make more money, obviously studio people are the ones who make the decisions, thus why that might prevent them from casting Elba.
Thank you for not only the implied accusation of Racism, but also for the implied accusation of sexism, I just adore having my words twisted around on me.
Why don't you get that nights sleep and take your "I don't give a fuck" attitude out on someone else.

They reboot the fucking bond time line everytime there's a new actor FFS
That's some of the stupidest reasoning I've ever heard to keep someone in that role lmao

Listen dude I'm only interpreting what you yourself said, and you're not helping your case any with your response.
You may be for Elba, but you're against him ultimately for the sole reason that he's black. Feel free to correct me at any given point in time, by the way. I'm only quoting what you yourself said. "Bond can't be black, it would ruin the timeline!!!1111!!!!!!" So basically, Elba would be great, but it can't happen because of the color of his skin. It's only a fucking problem if people like you make it out to be one.
The idea of Emily Blunt being Bond bores you. Why? Because, and I quote, it would be a "cheap re-working of a male character". So basically what you're saying here is that the male version is better and anything else is just a poor imitation. Got it. So are ANY women eligible for the role, in your eyes? Or would that, too, be a "ruining" of the purity of the Bond films?
missed this before. I'm flattered <3

There's only two things people associate with Bond films:
1) English spy
2) Revolving door of actors
Nobody actually gives a damn about some timeline.

I wasn't even aware that there was a timeline. In fact, I just recently learned that there is some kind of Zelda timeline. What the hell is that?

All you really need to know about the Zelda timeline is that Link is a different person in each game except for maybe 2 games.
noted. I barely pay attention to video game stories unless they are particularly good.
Wait till you hear about the Mario universe timeline
It was humorous in a "so bad it's bad but it's funny that I would watch a movie that's this bad" kind of way

I'm watching the final battle scene now and it has descended into absolute schlock. The CG is 90s tier at times
Also did Professor X
just lose his hair for the second time? Didn't that also happen in 1st class?
