10 Actors Who Could Be The New James Bond

10. Regé-Jean Page

Why He Might: Having shot to fame courtesy of last year's hit Netflix period drama Bridgerton, English actor Regé-Jean Page is easily one of the buzziest names being touted as a serious 007 contender.

He's certainly handsome, charming, and tall enough to fit the bill, as well as looking great in a suit. As a Black man he'd also bring some welcome diversity to the role, and has even received the "blessing" of a former James Bond in Pierce Brosnan.

Page has smartly kept mostly quiet about his ever-increasing odds with the bookies, because as the superstition goes around Hollywood, any actor who talks openly about playing Bond generally gets passed over for it.

Why He Might Not: Age is probably the biggest factor here. Page is just 31 years old, and even if the next Bond film didn't start shooting until 2024, some might see him as a little too young and baby-faced to bring the necessary grit the part requires.
