Tom Ellis will be the next James Bond.
Eon Productions just needs to print out a contract, have Ellis sign it, and the rest of us can stop speculating on it.
Whew. That was easy.
Daniel Craig, who has elevated Bond’s moodiness to new heights, is finally retiring from the iconic role.
And there has already been years of debate about who should replace him.
But it’s just so clear and simple.
The British actor has played the devil with charm and anger and wit for four seasons, so the transition to Bond, with all his action-packed moodiness, should be simple.
His role as the snarky and devilish Lucifer has actually just been a extra long audition for one of the premiere jobs in Hollywood.
Let’s review:
Ellis looks good in Bond suit:
He looks like Bond in a tux:
He looks good like Bond in next-to-nothing:
He looks like Bond with a gun:
He looks like Bond just standing around:
He looks like Bond with the ladies:
He looks like Bond with the guys:
He looks like Bond in…this:
Okay, maybe that last one didn’t help.
But you get the point.
The truth is Ellis combines the studliness of Sean Connery, with the wit of Roger Moore, the ease of Pierce Bronson, and the pissed-off-at-the-world attitude of Daniel Craig.
Make him the seventh Bond and he fits right in.
[My Take: Lucifer Does More To Promote Christianity Than Other Heavenly Shows]
Sure, there are some other leading men in the running to play the iconic role:
But c’mon!
Tom Ellis has all of their qualities rolled up into one.
The petition drive to Eon Productions to demand Ellis be the next Bond has already started on Change.org.
it’s just a matter of time until a zillion signatures are on it.
Meanwhile, fans have already created some 007 posters:
In reality, we all love Lucifer – men, women, children and small animals alike.
But playing the devil can’t last forever.
At some point the wings do, finally, come off.
And in case you’re wondering if Tom is up for it, he just tweeted that he agree with this article:
Agreed Jim! In fact I agree with everything you say ? https://t.co/0H0pt5Wj0Q

So that’s settled!
Tom Ellis should soon drop the “Hello, detective” and instead be saying:
“Bond. James Bond!”

Love this article
Let’s make it happen!
I really would like a James bond spin off series based on the other 00 agents. Any race or sex. And it would not matter if they survived the mission or were replaced. That would keep up the exitment.
Ja han är som klippt och skuren som James Bond
Du har rätt!
Can’t think of anyone better for the roll, he would be perfect 👌
Tom was born to play James Bond. He is suave, debonair, handsome, looks fantastic in a tux, drives an awesome car, can kick butt, is English. He is at a great age for this role. He is in wonderful physical condition for all of the stunts required. He is Bond,,, James Bond!! Make this happen. Remember when no one thought Daniel Craig could pull this off? He has been the best Bond so far. Tom can do the same. He is the one!
I support the cause of Tom Ellis as James Bond.
He look perfect on suit….. He is the one
He is the one…..
I think he would be perfect as James Bond because for one he’s British and he’s an amazing actor and the most important thing about him I find is that he truly cares about the fans and that’s something you don’t see everyday so I think you should definitely play the part easily I hope he gets it I really do I think he’d be amazing
Tom Hardy, number one.
Nope! You missed 1 person! You forgot Richard Madden! Haaaa!!!
Tom Ellis was born to be Bond.
He’s the one. The only one!!!
Hell yeah! (pun intended)
Yes! Definitely! I can see Tom Ellis as James, James Bond…..
Hej is a perfect fit but I’ll rather see more seasons of Lucifer
He is the best for Lucifer role. I really appreciate his acting. But for Bond? I am not so sure….
It’s between Tom Ellis and Idris Elba. Decisions decisions. I’ll have to see them naked before I decide. …
How boring, another white bond. I getit, hes vaguely attractive, but its 2019——it is time for a little color.
Why change what isn’t broken? Bond is white not blue, or green or pink.
So then you would be happy with a White Shaft?
Plot twist: in the next film we find out that Bond is in fact the Devil himself!
TOM ELLIS would be PERFECT
TOM ELLIS would be perfect for thisi
He’s perfect! Eon Productions would be fools not to pick him.
C’mon everyone give it a go and sign Tom Up! Game Bloody On!
There is no one better than Tom Ellis for the next Bond. I will actually start watching those movies if he’s 007.
I think Tom Ellis would make the perfect James Bond. He’s the whole package, multi-talented, sexy, masculine, got an awesome body he worked so hard to get and maintains, sings, dances, so smooth with the ladies, he makes suits look great…I could go on but you get the idea. I want him to continue to play #LuciferonNetflix, don’t want to lose him from that series. Like @Rachel Harris said, he “could play James Bond when he gets older”. The series would fall flat on its face if he was taken out of it and someone else tried to fill his shoes. But if he could do 007 between season’s, that would be OK with me! I stopped watching 007 movies once Sean Connery left. He was the best of the 007’s till Daniel Craig stepped in, in recent years.
I think he is at the right age to play Bond; he just turned 40 any older and he wouldn’t be Bond for long. But I agree if he plays 007 in between series would be great too.
YES! Yes! I have been putting this out there for years. Tom would be perfect; he looks very much like the Bond that Ian Fleming created, and he’d bring a more sophisticated edge to the role. Anything would be an improvement ovr Craig.
Tom Ellis would make the perfect James Bond. I can’t imagine anyone else who fits the role perfectly.
Yes Yes Yes
Stands Above The Rest
Tom 007 Ellis
Tom will be the best James Bond!!!
