James Bond: 10 Realistic Choices To Be The Next 007

10. Will Poulter

Yes, that Will Poulter who experienced a rather traumatic experience involving a tarantula within 2013’s We’re the Millers. Although he may be the youngest entry on this list, his cinematic presence speaks for itself and is entirely a result of his on-screen adaptability and versatility that earn him plaudits wherever he showcases it. Will's aptitude and maturity are second to none, and his talent allows him to flourish within any genre put before him with the likes of action, comedy, and horror all but to name a few that have been claimed and conquered by Poulter.

With that being said, there's no real standout reason that rules Poulter out of the running to be the next 007. Playing devil's advocate, his only obstacle may result from his age as opposed to his older adversaries. Even then, Will would fall into the preferably suited 30s age bracket when the next Bond entry comes to fruition so the timing could be perfect for him.

When asked for his thoughts on the part at hand, Poulter highlighted the importance of making and maintaining that the character is three-dimensional, noting, "The more psychologically complex and granular they get with Bond the better, because I think it's a mistake to ever treat bond as a caricature." It's safe to say the devout Gooner would look to continue excavating his predecessor's deep dive into the character's humanity and psychology, and should he be keen, 007 is in safe hands.
