8 Ensemble Casting Choices For Next James Bond Movie
5. Jude Law As M
It comes as no surprise to fans of the franchise that Jude Law has been in the running for Bond on at least one occasion. It seemed the stars never aligned for what was a destined performance for the debonair Law to don the tux at least once. But the elegance and style he brings means that he would make a perfect M.
Whilst Judy Dench superlative performance may never be beaten and Ralph Fiennes was able to steady the ship following her tearful exit, Law just oozes a level of class and confidence that would be perfect for the role. His role in Enemy at the Gate showed he was no slouch when it came to action and his recent acceptance of the legendary Albus Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts franchise proved he had no issue taking over important characters and could still keep up at the top.
M always made for an engaging and interesting foil for Bond’s recklessness and arrogance and was always able to put him in his place. Fans will be chomping at the bit imagining the witty exchanges between Bond and Law's M. As an entertaining actor who always seems to have an air of superiority to his characters, Law would be perfect for the crucial role of spearheading MI6.
