No one.

James Bond should be canceled, because of #MeToo.

Every new actor cast as James Bond essentially reboots the franchise though. If there were a new one I would expect the films to be a bit more progressive to keep up with the times.

In fact, from what I've heard about 'No Time to Die,' Craig's Bond progresses a bit in the womanizing facet compared to the previous films. So those in charge of the franchise are aware, it seems.

Back on topic, all of those Roll Roons listed are great choices, but I wouldn't mind seeing a person of color take over the role for the first time.

Why should a nonwhite person play a white man?

James Bond is a white man.

Won't that be cultural appropriation?

James Bond's canon resets every time. There is even the theory that the name itself is a code name given to different agents over the years-new 007 agents, which 'No Time to Die' features a female version of after Bond retires in the movie.

We're not talking about casting a person of color for a Frank Siantra biopic or anything. I mean, come on!
