Paul is really good in Normal People, but is only just getting his foot in the door acting wise, and is and looks really young. I mean I'm only older than Paul by a few of months and I really can't see EON going for anyone our age.
No thanks - Harry Styles is overrated.
At this rate they might have the right age when a new Bond is cast.
He's young looking. But people look younger these days. If we want Bond to look like he's got some age to him, then we are going to have to accept that it's only likely to be actors in their forties that can do that.
It was The Kelly Gang film that swing it for me, because in that he is cold and arrogant and doesn't come across as young. There is a manly maturity about him.
He's the one I'd possibly say is the most likely, yes, mostly because of his film experience.
I'd say he's the best candidate from the under-30 bunch, and should be considered for Bond 26, unless of course some other big franchise grabs him for a leading role in the next few years.
Although not actually under 30, but 30, which for me is actually the minimal acceptable age considering the film won't be happening anytime soon, but probably not that distant that we should look at under-30s. One really important aspect, that Craig doesn't have and that's ok because he's Craig, is eyebrows, and Hoult has them in spades. And he has a good voice as well, as long as he's not singing Killing me Softly.
I suppose Craig does not tick all the boxes!
Considering we know he's a very good actor who can easily hold his own in big movies, I think he's got to be right up towards the top of the list.
Thing is, he doesn't have to. Charisma trumps it. Although that particular verb just doesn't sound right these days, does it? To "trump" something. Quite the opposite in fact. But I digress :D
And he's got a brilliantly low voice. And good eyebrows ;) But somehow he reminds me of Rupert Everett. Must be the long face. Still, not a bad choice.
+1.
But not the best either.
i dont care he is in i guess 60's 70's the man needs to be bond in one film dam it!
Not really that problematic. If they were, he wouldn't still be leading mid-budget actioners.
well it happened :D
I was watching a 1991 film of his last week where he plays a 50's Brighton private eye (Under Suspicion) which was pretty fun, and I did think about whether he should have done Bond at the time. He's a pretty good star so I think he'd have been very decent at it.
What statements?
Congrats to Liam for getting the role.
Irish eyes are smiling............. :)>-
I feel modern era Neeson could easily annihilate Timothee Chalamet .
No doubt. It would be like Connery taking on Truman-Lodge.
Neeson is a big dude. 6' 4" (1.93 m) according to imdb.
We've already got a film with an older Bond out for one more outing. It's just that we haven't seen it yet.
That's right!
I think after a full era of novice to retired Bond, I'd like the next era to simply be Bond in his prime. Have him start mid to late thirties and continue for a decade with a new film every 2 years.
Neeson made some very controversial comments about a year ago. Comments that may make it difficult for him to return to franchise films. But he's too old for Bond now, but could have made an interesting choice in 1995. He'd have been more brusque than Brosnan. More akin to Daniel Craig.
But I'm still on Chalamet hype train. Though I do acknowledge that he'd need to 'transform' for the part. He's way too skinny at the moment. But hiring a trainer and working 8 hours at the gym is easy if you're being paid to do it.....
Also, Henry Cavill is having a good weekend with Enola Holmes. Which I will be checking out. He's the right age, has the perfect look, would bring back the elegance and be a great counter-balance to the more brooding Craig. However, (1) He's fricking Superman and (2) He's a bad actor.
...Because if we can have actors playing two iconic roles, then I want the new Batman to be 007
There's also his Devil All The Time cast member, Bill Skarsgard who looks like a movie star waiting to happen. Great poise and build. He could have been a good Batman as well...
Also, Netflix have a new horror show with Oliver Jackson-Cohen who is the right age and the right level of famous to become the next Bond. He has the look - but I've never seen this guy act. Can anyone attest to his level or lack thereof?
