Yes, I am not claiming he should have taken the part over Craig in 2006. But I would have been happy had Craig not come back after Skyfall and Fassbender took over then. Or like I say, give him the role for one or two films now.
Well if he wasn't considered in 2005 then he has never been properly asked.
It's a bit like me saying that I am not interested in being Gal Godot's boyfriend.
How much is bit too tall? How tall he is?
Can you imagine a 6’7” Bond?
Isn't he the same height as Dalton? Anyway, he definitely looks the part. I've only seen him in The Invisible Man and he was very impressive in that. He showed more range in that role than Cavill has in his entire career. Definitely a contender.
Never scene this chap in anything. But I’ll keep a look out.
That’s a plus, but almost too tall!Ha ha ha!
It’s okay. The next bond film takes place primarily in the Netherlands. He would blend in as an average bloke.
As for Oliver Jackson-Cohen...he played quite the villain in The Invisible Man...can you REALLY act that evil ? Or does it come from within ? Also -- is the world ready for a three-named Bond actor ?
Alrrrrright, alright, just goofing here. Right age for playing in a few films, good height...As for someone playing in "one and done" oh, no, everyone knows that does not work well. They've been through that.
By the way...is anyone feelin' it with this actor ?
He was contracted to Magnum P.I. so he couldn't accept. Much like Brosnan when he was contracted to Remington Steele in '86 and Bond went to Dalton instead.
He couldn't get out of his Magnum PI contract- very much like Brosnan with Bond in 1986. A shame in a way; he'd have been very good.
I think the same about Hugh Jackman. He has such a huge range. Handsome bugger too.
Yes
+1.
I've only seen him in Grantchester, but I think he does that role quite fine – no worse than James Norton. Not at all a Bondian role, mind.
I can see. Good find.....
I saw this on Twitter of someone speaking of how Pattinson is reminiscent of Bruce Wayne in Tenet. I guess I can see that, but I really see Bond.
Is there a set of circumstances where Pattinson plays Bond? Perhaps if The Batman is not a critical darling or underperforms. It feels the DC fanbase aren't overly excited by Pattinson and are still mourning Ben Affleck apparently departing that role (despite him slated to return in some capacity). Also, DC are hedging their bets massively with Batman and giving us Michael Keaton and that other Affleck appearance.
In such circumstances, you'll have three different actors playing the role at approximately the same time. Therefore, Pattinson won't be the Batman of the moment. Merely a Batman. I think this gives Pattinson some latitude to do 'one and done' much like Phoenix as the Joker. Then - hey presto - he can play Bond.....
(There's also a slight possibility that Batman doesn't finish filming with Covid or Pattinson drops out.)
The alternative is that Eon concede that he can play Batman and Bond simultaneously and cast him anyway. After Good Time, High Life, The Lighthouse and now Tenet, he is the best choice for the role by a country mile.
