Sorry, but to me his look evokes Bond in absolutely no way. He doesn't look at all like Moore or Brosnan in my eyes.
Maybe if they remade FYEO they could cast him as a schoolyard friend of Bibi Dahl who is too nervous to ask her out on a date. ;P
Overall he has the look of a snobby schoolboy rather than a suave spy.
In a Romantic Comedy he would be the obnoxious rival, not the romantic lead.
I don't really think Hoult or Claflin evoke Bond either. I can't quite put my finger on it really, there's a certain edge I expect for Bond and these guys don't have it.
It's subjective my friend. To you he looks like Moore and Brosnan, to me he doesn't.
I probably would've thought the same as you guys if I hadn't had the experience I've had with him as an actor, as someones whose probably seen everything he's done, but I really do think he'd be a good middle ground between Craig and the original creation. He comes across as "cut from a certain cloth" but has rather a rougher approach to how carries himself and how he talks. Combine all of this with some good acting and training, then in my opinion, you have a great new James Bond. Also not mention I think his casting would be a good movie in terms refreshing things, but a lot of that hinders on the director and what the producers want to do going forward.
And fair play @NickTwentyTwo, I didn't realise you weren't on board with either of those two. I thought Hoult was a done deal with most people tbh, despite him not even being in my top five. If we're talking about edge, Claflin and Turner take that one from Hoult I think.
In all likelihood, the next Bond will be someone we don't necessarily expect, out of left field, and they'll prove themselves in the role as Craig did.
Callum? Or Aidan? Or both? :P
To be honest, there isn't anyone they could cast that I wouldn't give a chance. It would take a whole lot to keep me out of the theatres for a new Bond film.
I'd really want him to lead another movie first. I'm not sure he has movie-level screen presence.
Go and watch his filmography?
+1.
What do you mean?
At least one former Bond actor has said Aidan Turner is the right person for the part. Roger Moore, said he thought the actor could pull off playing 007.
“I do think Aidan Turner looks very good,” Moore told TalkRadio in 2016, as reported by the Huffington Post. Moore also thought Hiddleston, then coming off his role in the spy drama The Night Manager, might be a good fit too.
Well said Sir Roger. A man of impeccable taste as always.

I need to watch ‘And Then There Were None.’
Turner looks Bondian in that.
Poldark shows some Bondian potential.
Not really anything that could be described as leading man in major film series though is there.
That is one of many reasons why i support him.
He couldn't have said: "I think he'd be absolute rubbish." He was just being nice and encouraging to a fellow actor.
I don't think so, EON have always changed the pattern. Another Reboot won't work and imo they know that very well. James bond at his prime is what they should look for, something Turner can deliver.
Another thing to note here is Turner's name haven't come more often in press, especially outside of this forum. He still have the chance for minimum 3 film's if bond26 came as early as 2024-25.
