Maybe there were discussions and he didn't even want the part.
I read on here that supposedly BB dislikes him. Can anyone shed any light on why?
If he was younger, surely we could all agree he would be the obvious choice for the next Bond. Again, bad timing.
Doing an accent isn’t the same as acting, and neither is it the proof of being a great one. Connery was a great movie star and screen actor, there’s no real doubt about that.
I think the sweet spot for Fassbender to have been Bond would have been just after Inglorious Basterds; but of course, we were only really getting started with Craig then. It was just one of those things.
Good actor, looks the part, tall, English, good accent, charismatic.
Not my favourite candidate, but I viable one I think.
No.
Why not?
Nahh. Could play Fleming though. Would be better suited than Dominic Cooper was..
I can certainly see the "creepy looking" argument alright!
Very much agree with you @suavejmf
He’s not top of my list. But he’s certainly worth a screen test.
I’ve seen this guy and his business partner on Instagram. Very knowledgeable and interesting. But also very amusing how much two random Americans both want to be Bond so badly.
Don't know much about Matthew Goode.
What I do every time a name is suggested is I look them up on Google images. Mr Goode is an interesting one, he seems a bit of a chameleon. Some photos shout Bond and some very much do not, in fact he looks like a different person in some photos. (Ideal spy material !)
As worthy a screen test as anyone I'd say.
As I’ve said, there’s something about him that frequently gives off a slimy, creepy vibe, much like SPECTRE’s Andrew Scott.
I really enjoy that youtube channel. It is centered more on the "Bond Lifestyle" than the movies themselves but, it is a really great channel. Why would it enrage people here? That video was Super Man ;)
Yeh he's a great guy! Because some members here would hate to see Cavill become Bond. And there's David willing it into existence by attiring Cavill's Bond.
It's well worth a watch anyway!
curious to see what others feel about this
Yeh neither would I. He's not particularly unique looking (like Craig) but maybe the period setting helped me see him as a 'comicbook' Bond. I've just read Vargr. He's the only actor who I've thought could pull it off DEPENDING on the performance.
I posted that video recently but it barely got a response. I expected uproar from some and others to proclaim it as validation of Cavill for Bond.
Noticed him for the first time on a picture that circulated a while back that had a list of potential Bonds. He was one that stood out as looking the part. I thought Ben Starr who was on that list look the part as well.
Cavil is not my first choice but he wouldn't be my last choice either he would be adequate
However? Surely to goodness after 5 years possibly 6 years now, they should have had writers coming up with the ideas for future villains, plots, narratives......etc?!!!! They could have possibly had 2 or maybe 3 good stories by now for the new actor to film?
I think that the vetting of candidates is farther along than many may think, particularly with the multiple delays.
While it may not be one of the frequently touted candidates I suspect that the eventual heir to the role has been mentioned by someone in this forum.
To add to what you are stating. I also think that it will be more of a unknown but the overwhelming majority of the people we mention here are unknown. Aidan Turner (my personal top choice) is hardly known outside of Bond circles and if they know him its oh that dude from Poldark.....We all are hardcore Bond fans and are super interested in this whole process. The average movie goer is not.
