No thank you @NicNac I’m sticking with Fassbender please.
Busy man! Did he kill both on the same day?
Quite a few years in between actually!
When Turner wins are the MI6 Community writing to Eon to give Bab’s and MGW our choice???
You even gave them the headline there, @NicNac ;-)
Happy for him to stay.
They will print anything these days.
Tomorrow's news today!
Oh believe me. My real answer to the question "who is your choice to play Bond" is as it's always been since 2006: Daniel Craig. But he wants to move on and I understand that. No matter how much I love him as Bond, I don't want him to be so sick of it, he starts sleepwalking through the role as bad or worse than Connery did in YOLT. I sure am going to miss him though, he revitalized the Bond series for me and he ranks second only to Sean.
Joke. Just a joke.
I agree with all you say.
Yep-- agreed.
Completely with you, I can't get into the next guy because the next film isn't even out and also Barbara has more than hinted this is not even on her radar at the moment.
So we are likely looking at 5 years more more before the next one, so the map of who are possible candidates could well have shifted significantly.
I imagine they'll be looking for someone different enough from DC to distinguish the next era but the way they approached casting of Bond 6 is unlikely to be diverted from, so no I don't see someone who is a name getting the role.
It will be more than likely someone who hasn't a significant role in their CV already. They need to be a blank sheet so that when people go to see Bond 26 it will be to see James Bond not someone who is famous for other things.
Roger Moore may well have been very successful in the role but there were some that at the time could never see past the fact he was the Saint previously.
Both Connery and Craig had no significant role to being cast, hence why they are perceived on the whole has being the most successful actors to play the role.
Very sensible. EON must at least screen test him for the role. He really is the guy to bring Bond back in a big. Audiences are hungry for it.
One more vote eh, @Mendes4Lyfe
He has my vote ever since I first saw ATTWN back in 2015. Amazing to witness how his support has grown since then.
The other choices people suggest like have a couple bondian elements, but no one else has the full set like Turner. He is, in my eyes, born for a role like Bond.
Theres no doubting we need to get back on track with fully realised Bond, and Turner has the looks, charisma and acting ability to pull it off.
Unless Barbara suddenly has a change in her attitude I really can't see her casting an actor this soon to have a new film out in 3 years.
As much as fans want it, I don't see the recasting of another actor, writing a screenplay ready to shoot being done in any sooner than 5 years.
She certainly won't want to pull the trigger on her next actor till she is entirely sure on this.
Fans might not like this but I don't think that actor is Aidan Turner as much as many here want it, I said before, he is the new Clive Owen.
Mark my words it will be another situation like Craig, an actor hardly anyone has heard of and not with any defining roles in their CV.
If Turner is the great actor his fans say he is he'll be snapped up soon enough, he is attached to a TV series about Leonardo Da Vinci, not sure if that is limited or will be on going.
If this is a hit and he shines could well be the project that sees him come to others attention, I personally don't think he'll ever be Bond.
I can only agree, we're on the same page since ATTWN.
Yeah, exactly this. A couple of pages ago I wrote the same, more or less. No time to wait, time for action!
LOL! I guess it depends on what you call charming. I found him tiresome and obnoxious in MFU, so much so that I just stopped watching the film 30 minutes in. Especially after the fight scene with Hammer which was a direct rip off of the bathroom fight from CR. And I honestly don't understand how anyone is coming up with the notion that he's wooden from.
You can put me down for James Norton as well and Dan Stevens. Hopefully not Aiden Turner.
James Norton can be excellent. He has potential IMO.
Babs will make the decision and she will want a solid actor. I think Norton hits the mark. Just can't see it being Turner.
Funny, I feel that way about Norton. Nothing Bondian about him.
We can only hope her good sense for casting Bond continues.
