East Coast Breakfast's shortlist of South African 007 candidates
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
Daniel Craig is said to star in his last 007 James Bond movie in 2019. So who’s next?

There have been rumours that Idris Elba will become the next James Bond, but Twitter took it upon themselves to see Elba’s latest tweet as a confirmation.

That talk was later shut down by another tweet by Elba.
Don’t believe the HYPE...

As much as Idris would make a great fit, we think that there are some amazing South African candidates too.
Here are our top five South African picks to play James Bond:
1. Nico Panagio

However, there is one wildcard. It ain't a James Bond movie if Darren Maule isn't in it! Our final pick goes to the man himself...
6. Darren Maule
I’m cracking out the tux again tomorrow as I host the @sharksrugby ladies breakfast.

Step aside Idris Elba... Maule, Darren Maule is in the building!
