Sommigen gaan zelfs nog een stapje verder en roepen Hollywood op om Patel kandidaat te stellen als opvolger van Daniel Craig als James Bond.
Ja!
Nu hij serieus zijn affiniteit met actie heeft laten zien (in het echte leven ook bekwaam is in Taekwondo) en 33 jaar oud is, heeft Patel alle ingrediënten die nodig zijn om de perfecte 007 te worden in de reboot.
The only thing blocking Dev Patel from being the next James Bond is that he's such a good director - I just don't think he'd want to step back from that. But the Broccolis would be nervous about how much power they'd cede by making him writer/director AND star.#MonkeyMan #SXSW pic.twitter.com/1wIVACQNWn

Hi! Resident James Bond super fan here. Love Cillian, but he is 47 and new James Bonds need to be cast younger. Dev Patel is right there. Cillian would make a brilliant Bond villain though! https://t.co/84BvXoBtUX

Dev Patel for James Bond! https://t.co/b9yLUL4zDw
Dev Patel should be a bigger star than he is. Oscar nominated. Unbelievably charismatic. Two banger performances back to back with David Copperfield & The Green Knight. Incredible screen presence.
He should be James Bond.-- Kris Calabrese (@krisjocal) March 12, 2024
I love how excited and happy he is!

Nee!
Anderen (hoewel in de minderheid) zijn echter van mening dat Patel heeft laten zien wat hij achter de camera kan, met Monkey Man een nieuwe actiefranchise voortbrengt en James Bond dus totaal niet nodig heeft.
I assume this is exactly what Dev Patel was saying as well. He doesn't have to be John Wick or James Bond. He can be a new character meant for him.

Dev Patel has been suggested for the next Bond pretty often. But here's the thing, now he doesn't need to be Bond because he's already Monkey Man and if folks show up he can carve out his own place in the action hero canon. https://t.co/cyvA6oF0F0
