English actor James Norton played Alex Godman in McMafia and Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley. A recurring fan and rumour-mill choice over several years, he is not a confirmed finalist in the latest reporting.
Those contrasting roles make an unusually complete Bond argument. McMafia gives him composure amid international money and criminal power; Happy Valley proves he can make a room feel unsafe. His 007 could conceal genuine ruthlessness beneath an educated, reassuring exterior, letting a polite conversation carry the threat.
