Read this: “One possible route is to take Bond down a totally different route by bringing in someone MUCH younger than anyone we’ve seen so far.
“Craig was 38 when he took over the role and I am told that the studio is open to going even younger than that and also willing to look at some unconventional choices. Timothée Chalamet and Robert Pattison types.”
I'm sorry but that's got to be from user Pierce2Daniel.
I really think Henry Cavill is the only choice. I get that he isn't the best actor, but he looks great and he's terrific in action. That's all you need!
I haven't seen him as Sherlock Holmes yet, is he any good???
Eon has just announced a new 007 video game. It will apparently feature an "original Bond story" about James becoming a 00 agent.
Given that triple-A video games have placed more and more focus on acting and more and more established actors lending not only their voice but also their likeness and even motion capture performance th question is:
Who should/could be the Bond actor in the upcoming video game?
Timothy Dalton!
+1 yes please
Would be awesome. Could be his third film.
🤢🤢🤢. I dread him being cast. He is so wooden and has zero presence. It would be really regressive. Craig has upped the game.
He's probably high-ish on their list for successors, but I'd be disappointed if he was cast, for sure.
I liked him a lot as Superman, but I think his woodenness helps with that character a bit, someone who's brand new to the earth. Bond is not that.
I thought he was great in MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., and is an exceptional Superman.
He, along with Aidan Turner are at the top of my list for potential Craig replacements if we ever happen to get another Bond movie made in the years following NTTD.
Where is that shot from Cavill in the tux with the cell phone from?
Oh dear. They're both terrible actors.
Seems to be a phone ad. Didn't he do one with Scarlet Johanssen?
What a terrible decision it would be. He was also very boring and wooden in the Enola Holmes film, though I think his casting was intentional as they didn't want to get someone who might upstage Millie Bobbie Brown. I'd almost rather see Chalamet than Cavill, at least it would be kind of interesting.
The last time I posted him here someone said he couldn't be Bond with his hairline. Though Fleming's image of Bond actually has the same kind of widow's peak hairline:
Barbara wants this too. He won't be Bond.
I've always maintained that any forum member here could easily embrace their inner Bond villain and concoct the most outrageous "who will play Bond rumor".
In this day and age people are gullible enough to believe anything, especially as social media reigns strong. I just wish there could have been something created more original than Pattinson or Chalamet. Yawn. Snooze city.
I think we need to be a little more obnoxious with our Bond candidate rumors.
How about this.................Elvis faked his death and will come out of hiding in the year 2025 to play Bond. He'll be a youthful 90 and has signed on to be 007 until he reaches the age of 100.
In addition, Elvis will sing the title song and will be the first American Bond since Barry Nelson.
If we can get this rumor out into the world, I guarantee the public will buy it. They'll believe anything. I still know people who ask me how the Idris Bond film was, as well as that Tom Hardy Bond epic. I tell them those films were great.
Even better than CR.
This Elvis rumour, there must be some truth to it?
I’d prefer Elvis to Chamalet.
Hemsworth or Cavill would be perfect if EON want to go in a certain direction. But how likely is that? No very IMHO.
Considering the DC era has looked at both age and retirement,plus has portrayed a gruff, tough , sometimes humourless, intraspective Bond, the obvious reset is a much younger, smoother, charming, Cary Grant style Bond (but still a cold killer).
Did Cavill bang your missus or something? He's not THAT bad.
It would explain the constant use of the word "wooden".
Haha.
I can see it.
:))
There's something about Cavill's skin that looks odd and doll like. If there ever was a live action Barbie movie, he'd make a perfect Ken. He is also perfect for luxury goods adverts playing a poor man's Bond. To Bond, he's the new Clive Owen.
He is. He's unbelievably bland. It stinks of Brosnan era, paint-by-numbers Bond. Please cast someone with edge and presence. It would be like going from Veuve Clicquot to Buckfast.
