    So you two are gonna fight to the death? If Dragonpol loses his head, his haunting eyes will haunt me no more.

    I have beautiful eyes and I'm sure they have never given anyone nightmares. Relatively sure, anyway.

    Actors “ bulk up” for specific roles. I chuckle( wince) when I read that an actor is too physically large, bulky, to play Bond. In addition to Cavill, Chris Hemsworth is s as great example; he trains and eats a certain way to play Thor. When not in that mode he is slim but muscular and has an athletic not jacked physique. Ditto for Cavill.

    Whoever is cast will come in with a physique that is appropriate for the role. This will be decided by the producers, director and to some extent the actor. The actor may have to put weight on; they may have to drop weight or they may have a built that is suitable as is.

    We should've have gone to specsavers before the beheading.

    How about Oliver Jackson-Cohen?

  • I still haven't gotten around to seeing him in The Haunting of Bly Manor. Maybe I should do that this Halloween:

    You certainly should have, before heads will roll.

    I certainly think he's a possibility and will be on Eon's radar. Probably could do with an acclaimed performance to excite their attention, but his upcoming The World Will Tremble sounds worthy enough to potentially be that role.

    There are a lot of double-barrelled names around these days among the prospective Bond actors. I'm not sure if that's because they're part of the nobility or they have a more complicated family history. I suspect it's the latter.

    I don’t know about anyone else but I know that ATJ and his wife merged their surnames. He used to only be Aaron Johnson until he married Sam Taylor-Wood.

    Yes, I believe that's a fashion nowadays with some married couples. I suppose it's a way for the wife to keep her maiden name as part of her name alongside her married name.

    He's the right age, but he'd need to be cast as Bond like now.

    If it's coming out in 2025, going by their usual schedule, I wouldn't expect them to have started yet.

    It's already past the point of being ridiculous. Hand it over to someone else, who actually cares. Who the h-ll cares about some game show??

    There are still novels games and comic books to enjoy…

    As for me i would rather they take the time to do something good rather then rush into something bad…

    Yes rush into things again waiting four years for the brilliant Casino Royale was 100% the right move

    Its been only 2 years since No Time to die so lets not pretend its been a decade since the last bond film

    If we had the release date for the next film + writer and director locked in then I might agree with you, but Babs just admitted they haven't begun the process yet, meaning it's at least another 3 years away. So, yes, we are in for another long wait.

    1.5 - 2 years (and the latter is at a push) seems to be their timeline for making these films if that’s any consolation. Even casting for Bond once it gets going isn’t as long as one would imagine.

    I mean, I don’t know when Bond 26 will get released. But it will come at some point in the future and almost all of us here will see it. Much as I’d like a new Bond film sooner rather than later it’s not an easy task figuring out what to do this time round.

    I'm desperately hoping by some miracle it happens in 2025 but I suspect not.

    It could be part of the reason honestly, who knows? EON seem to take a lot into account when creating a new film

    I wouldn't be surprised if they're further along than we believe. At least a fan can dream 😅
