The Official Cosmo Ranking of All the Best New Bond Options

TBH, we get it. The One Direction alum has style for days, a fluid attitude that is beyond sexy, and, based on his turn in Dunkirk and what will probably be a very good performance in the upcoming Olivia Wilde movie, the chops to pull it off.

Fantasy scenario: He signs on and the resulting movie turns a mirror on society and truly modernizes the world of 007. Here. For. That.

Unlike most people on this list, she's not British. But she is one of the most talented humans on the planet, which is why her name's been thrown around as a contender to sing a new Bond theme song. We have a far better idea: Let her own the whole damn thing!

If the next Bond absolutely haaad to be another traditionally attractive, white cis man, we could do a lot worse than Henry, whose acting talents were honestly wasted playing so-perfect-you're-low-key-boring Superman.

Real talk for a second: This man would be a truly dashing and debonair leading man. Heartbreakingly, he has gone on the record saying he doesn't particularly want the part—unless, that is, the script had a comedic angle. @ script writers, WYA?

We just think it's *funny* how she was once in the running to be a Bond girl because, um, it's pretty damn clear she should just be in charge here? Watch any 30-second clip of her chills-inducing work on Westworld and you'll see what we mean.

Backstory time: He was once seen as a Bond frontrunner, but in 2017, reports surfaced that franchise producer Barbara Broccoli eliminated him because he wasn't "tough enough." Interesting, because that's exactly why we still ship Tom for the role.

Next to members of the literal royal family, no one screams "Classy Britishness" quite like Bond. And, next to, IDK, maybe the Queen herself, no single human on the planet epitomizes classy British vibes quite like Regé-Jean. Perfect. Match.

James Bond saves the world in every movie, and yeah, we'd put our fate in Emily's Edge of Tomorrow-proven hands. She's got that whole I-trust-her-but-I'm-also-scared-of-her thing absolutely nailed. Maybe it's her piercing gaze? Her chill perfection? Whatever it is, it's working.

Prefer to focus on Bond's dashing qualities? Then this Henry can't not be your pick. If Crazy Rich Asians taught us anything, it's that he can wear the hell out of a tux—and an affinity for formal wear is approximately 73 percent of the job. We think.

The internet's been begging for this for years, and it's obvious why: The London-born actor is everything Bond should be. Brilliant? Obviously. Charming? Yep. Physically gorgeous? Only if you have functioning eyes. Metaphysically gorgeous? Even if you have no eyes at all.
