It is interesting how much handwringing there is about the new Bond and how long they can stay in the role and how the franchise will be set-up for the future and so on.
Isn't James Bond the character where casting continuity is the most muddled and all over the place anyway? Sure, people try to put a unifying theory onto the whole thing and I think all Bond fans have spent at least some time thinking about their stance on stuff like continuity and codename theory and all of that, but where other franchises have to invent parellel universes or keep the old actor in the franchise while the new actor just takes up their mantle or whatever, Bond just is. Whoever it says at the beginning of the credits "as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in" is James Bond. All of them are Bond. They are seperate and connected at the same time.
So why not do just one movie with Tom Hardy? Why not have Nic Hoult do a couple, go away to do something else while Robert Pattinson does one if he has a shooting window available and then have Hoult come back? Hell, have Craig come back in 10 if he feels like it. Connery played Bond in three decades, Craig could get to four. He'll always look like he's 39 anyway.
Trust me, it's not too complicated for the audience: It's a Bond film. The handsome man in the film is James Bond and this is one of his stories.
(Maybe I should put this in the controversial opinions thread...)
Edit: And this is not even mainly directed at fans. Eon: Just get to producing movies. I assume you get about 12 spec scripts and 15 product placement deal offers per week. There is bound to be enough material to get a film through the door every 30 months.
Bond-hater
:))
:( ;)
Only thing controversial here is you saying Craig looks like he's 39!
Maybe I went a tad overboard with that one :-D
I think being well known for another big role like Batman is to be avoided, but being a well known actor isn't terrible. Styles at the moment is a famous singer but he's not a famous movie star, I wouldn't object to that level of fame.
I'm not actually familiar with One Direction (though I've heard of them, of course). My first thought when talos7 suggested him was that he looked a bit like the lead from Pennyworth, who someone here suggested for Bond a few months ago.
We're all prone to that occasionally haha.

As long as it's not on Bond 26. ;) I jest...
I must admit looks-wise I'd prefer someone handsome in a slightly unconventional way again, rather than a slightly blandly handsome person (like Sam Heughan for example). That would include your Turners; Aiden maybe looks quite Daltonish but he's also got fairly unique looks.
I have been holding it back for months, but here it goes: Aidan Tuner looks like a rodent.
Shoot me.
I'm an unknown actor and a fan. I can't take most of these suggestions seriously partly because I naturally wouldn't mind playing the part! Someone has to do it. And I wouldn't want it to be Jack Lowden, Nick Hoult OR Harry Styles. Unfortunately I am not 'a name'. I am Q'sCat, to you lot.
I've often wondered what the reaction would be if I posted my headshot. I wouldn't dream of it though! Has anyone ever seriously suggested themself on here??

If you're going to make it, you need to get yourself out there. You never know who's watching or looking. ;)
One flew over the Cookoos nest.
I’m pretty the new member is a prank, surely? It’s a near perfect Borat impression and just looking to wind people up on here.
Had crossed my mind.
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Or is he more Bond. He is Britisch!, but atleast i think he intresting for another option for Felix or Licence to Kill type of villian. He is from 1986, wil be first who younger then me, but looks older.
I was trying to think where I knew him from! I looked him up and haven't seen any of his stuff that I could recognise, so it was really confusing me :D
Roger Moore once played a woman as well (the aunt of Sinclair in The Persuaders). He was very convincing I must say.
