I’d bet Cavill would win in a fight then.
Nah, too short.
You know those fights are choreographed so they don't hurt each other right?
Dunno. Didn't someone add Scott Adkins to that list?
I dunno if he is a candidate for real. But, out of everyone mentioned, he's by far, the man. My reasons are because he's a solid actor that can do the emotional/grounded work and still be "damaged/masculine".
I don't care if he's bi or not in real life.
Plus, to me, he is more attractive than Brosnan and Cavill.
I was responding to the point that they should all be put in a ring? Cavill is bigger than the rest of them.
Bigger the fall...
:-D
'twas me, and for that very reason, his physicality. From a thespy p.o.v* he might not be the most acomplished/respected (take your pick) actor, but looking at his physical prowess, he is superior to the other candidates, Cavill included.
* People here have criticised Dalton with "you don't need to be the best actor to be Bond"...
But I'd rather have a stellar actor that can also work on his physicality. Just my personal preference, of course. But after Craig, I won't take a soap opera tv actor. There are lots of good actors with brilliant presence and physicality out there. Or at least a few...
I uderstand that, but after Craig, I want the next actor to back away from all the moping and emotions, and give us a peak career Bond. I know for a fact that Adkins can play a cocky arrogant character, without making him smarmy, while also giving off the right ammount of charm. It just so happens, that he acts through his physicality.
What would you recommend me to watch so I can have an impression of his suitability, @MajorDSmythe?
Probably.... Accident Man, for his best all round film. For pure physicality, any of the Undisputed films he was in (2, 3, and 4). I'm not saying that Bond needs to be pulling of all manner of flips. But to have an actor with that level of training, would bring the fights up to a whole new level.
He looks more like a Dr Who IMO.
Have to hear his voice. Bond must have a distinctive bass voice. A swagger in the way he sounds and delivers his lines. Can't seem to recall Callum's voice. Now Turner, when speaking with an english accent, has a baritone to bass voice. None, I'm afraid, will have Connery's or Craig's voices. Craig's voice alone sold me on him being Bond.
To me he doesn't have it. Perhaps like Craig, as in he could play Bond, but he couldn't be Bond. To me Craig still looks like a KGB/FSB agent. Being Bond is the whole package. At least to me.
I'm not convinced. Don't see this face or this voice as Bond.
By that rational only Connery has ticked all the boxes because Dalton certainly didn't and Poldark isn't even in the running.
Certainly you can grasp that it's subjective, hence I wrote "to me" . No Time To Be Petty, @Shardlake
It would a massive no from me with regards to Callum Turner. He doesn’t have the looks or voice IMO. He’d be great in EastEnders though.
And James Norton does?
Callum Turner.... no.
Aidan Turner....yes.
James Norton....no chance.
