To use your logic: he hasn't done that though so you can't possibly know that ;) "Cavill has not been in that film".
Not so easily. Craig was already an award-winning movie actor years before that. And he didn't get cast because Craig was better.
This isn't because Craig is a limited actor, because he isn't...it is because the series from CR to SP simply aren't the incredibly complex and layered films that some people seem to think they are. They are actually quite shallow pieces of work, that seem to be operating on the belief they are more intelligent than they actually are.
And someone like Cavill could have done it just as well. Note the 'someone like'. I am not pushing for Cavill to take over. There are better options. Hoult would be my choice, as stated multiple times.
Nobody said that. It was your initial hypothesis that Cavill types could have played it as well, which you have now developed into an argument with yourself about nobody but Craig doing it.
You can't know that as neither he, nor anyone else other than Craig, were playing Bond in those films ;)
Again, you've argued against your own standpoints.
Personally I'd say Hoult is a better actor.
Sure.
We're talking about who could be a Bond actor. Or is the thread just supposed to be a list of names?
You’re not doing that, mate. And you know that too.
Just start your own thread— Craig NOT Bond. A nice echo chamber. Enjoy.
😂
That's what I know.
and Cavill is taking a step backwards from the (as you said), “over rated” Craig.
And EoN won’t be taking that step backwards.
Yous are more entertaining to me than Spectre ever was!

What step will EoN take, in your opinion?
I am disappointed if you think I have made vitriolic remarks to other members of the site. I don't think I have accused anyone of anything, or been vitriolic. I don't use mocking emojis for example.
If I have been vitriolic to anyone I apologise.
No I haven’t taken it that way at all, I hope you haven’t with my replies to you either.
@FatherValentine .... they are not close to casting the new James Bond. But if I had to guess, the actor is not necessarily on anyone’s radar. If he is, then likely on the periphery.
Whether you like it or not, Barbara and Craig have upped the bar. To go back to simple and safe, I’m guessing, will not happen.
Gregg is likely to take over from Mike with Ms. Broccoli as lead producer. They won’t want to take steps back on the work they have done.
To quote another Bond “expect the unexpected “.
I don’t entirely disagree, but I think even for that you need a good movie star. Roger was very talented at what he did: not a lot of actors would be able to be at the centre of the films he starred in and still be a charismatic lead. The new one doesn’t have to be gritty, but he does still need to be really good.
I’m not saying that the future films won’t get “lighter”.
What I’m guessing from the little first hand that I get, is that the talent moving forward will be of a more elite level then a Cavill type Bond can deliver.
They won’t hire journey-men for the foreseeable future ...
I don't get what the problem with Cavill as Bond would be. He's handsome and has good charisma and confidence. He might not be the actor Craig is but he doesn't have to be. Bond doesn't need to be played by a masterclass thespian every time.
In the end, I always considered myself a Bond fan through good and bad.
It wasn't all bad. As I mentioned previously, I used to really enjoy Craig's run but my enjoyment has waned in the last few years. Not solely because of him but various reasons. Personally I'd like a return to the classic formula. Unfortunately I don't see that happening for a very very very long time now. I'm still a Bond fan, but the future of Bond doesn't seem very bright to me if things continue as they are.
No Craig and Dalton honestly
I hope your right.
Craig also has a great voice and accent that is perfect for the role. Perfect ‘Received Pronunciation.’
My thoughts exactly.
