It would indeed. Their loss I'd say. The current crop just doesn't do it for me. Imo they waited too long, up to EoN to come up with a great new Bond...
@Colonel_Venus troll harder, buddy
I’d even say Turner hasn’t missed out. If EON really wanted him I think he’d get an audition when the time comes. I think they’ll stray into early 40s for a candidate they like. I just think it’s unlikely he’ll get the part. He’s a bit too understated for me personally. While a good actor I don’t think he’s quite got that natural charisma. And going from what he’s said he seems wholly uninterested in the part.
Or maybe, after the success of Bourne, considered Matt Damon to take over from Pierce, 🤷♂️ 😂…
He does't have star quality IMO.
Yes, didn't Lewis Collins say something along the lines of he went in to meet EON quite gung-ho and full of himself, but that in doing so he really irritated Cubby in the process and came out of the meeting already knowing that he'd blown it? Ah, well.
Thanks bro. And they used to think I was a troll!
This is the best thing I've read all week.
There's nothing like the first cup of coffee and a wide grin because of a smart Bond reference, 😂. Well done!
If I were a religious man, i'd pray for this to happen.
They have a strong recent acting tradition, and for whatever reason they are very, very good at American accents. Not sure how well they do British accents, though, but it seems like that would be even easier for them.
More on this (albeit a bit dated), if anyone's interested:

Hugh Jackman would have been a great Bond.
Yes, please ;)
I really believe he would be an awful choice and I am very grateful we have moved past him.
When I said troll harder I meant it. You're just spouting without using arguments. In other news, per usual, @MajorDSmythe is right on the money.
Well, I only have one answer to that
@007ClassicBondFan Exactamundo
Next.
I'd agree. He sold me ages ago, just has aged out a bit. I'd take a trilogy with him if they had no other ideas and we wanted someone I see as a blend of Connery and Brosnan on the poster. Could do a lot worse, and many here have tried.
No clue what he'd bring to the part. He always seems in control and gentlemanly, at least.
