    Did Hoult get dental work done ?

    Not sure, but a lot of actors are getting the veneers done, so I wouldn’t be surprised!

    I think Hoult’s quite extensive experience on big projects, and that he seems a reliable and stable personality that doesn’t make waves in his working environment, will make him attractive to producers. Having worked with so many notable actors and being well thought of presumably would help to bring talent on board, much in the way I assume Daniel Craig worked behind the scenes to bring in people like Mendez. This behind-the-camera stuff is all points in his favour, and few of his contemporaries can match him there.

    Will he prove as competitive in the audition process? I don’t know. I still think Eon will want to keep with the rougher, tougher feel Craig brought to the franchise. Hoult is perhaps my favourite of the candidates, but I feel it might be another Batman situation where he’s in the final two or three but doesn’t land it in the end.

    This sums up my feelings as well. I can’t but help that he is attractive, for as many of his talents off camera, as on (insofar as his quiet professionalism, he doesn’t seem to have Hollywood baggage of bad behaviour, he seems calm in the spotlight, he’s articulate and he is very respected amongst his peers in the industry… when you’re a Bond or a Batman or any other huge role, behaviour outside of the character is something that must be looked at to support the brand).

    I'm another one who'd want someone a bit rougher, but also I think his role as Lex Luthor will say a lot about his future in other franchises, especially as a lead to that franchise. If Gunn's Superman is successful, Luthor isn't the kind of villain that's one and done, he's the Joker of that world in many ways.

    It's one thing to have your James Bond actor go off and explore other projects, but if that actor is just jumping back and forth between franchises, it might become a case of overexposure in one area of cinema, which would also feel strange when they're jumping from hero to the villain. Would Hoult himself even want that?

    To me, it'd be like if (hypothetically) Robert Pattinson played Blofeld whilst also playing Batman.

    You know what? I momentarily erased Lex from my brain.

    This is entirely a legitimate concern.

    But then again, in an alternative universe, Cowboys and Aliens could have been a series of films for Craig. Would this have disrupted his Bond tenure? Girl with the Dragon Tatoo was also supposed to be more than one film.

    But I hear you @Denbigh … it must be something that is discussed with the powers (and probably the actor too, if he gets close).

    Good point once again….

    That's true, although it's worth wondering if Craig's casting was maybe a part of why those other films never became a series? I mean I don't think Cowboys and Aliens ever stood a chance, and with Dragon Tattoo, I think it would have been different enough that it maybe could have worked.

    Also, franchise filmmaking was in such a different place back then, whereas now franchises are "the norm" of mainstream cinema, for better or worse. To the point where they're now becoming rather overexposed themselves and are becoming just as much as an issue for studios as they are monetarily valuable, which is another reason why this next era of James Bond is so important and why patience is key, because I think we're heading toward a crossroads that I feel EON should keep an eye on.

    This also brings up the question of should the next actor EON gets be as far away from those films as possible to avoid any overlap? Because even though it naturally will anyway because it's a completely different IP, but will EON want complete separation from Marvel/DC when it comes to their main actor?

    Also, this isn't just something that needs to be considered for Hoult, the same can be said for ATJ and his commitments to Kraven, although based on track-record, I can't see Kraven going any further than this one entry, whereas Superman I think has more of a chance at being successful, taking Hoult away from other opportunities, like how we've ruled out Robert Pattinson - but we'll have to see.

    I think that it depends on if Lex is wanted for all three Superman films, which I can’t see happening in practice, but I can certainly see him having signed a multi-picture deal in theory. Whether the producers would pull a Remington Steele or not, the fear that they might must be a consideration. I’m sure Hoult must have had this conversation with his agents at the time, so this might suggest he’s given up on the chance of becoming 007 in favour of the sure-thing of the Luthor role. Many actors must have the same concerns, the same dilemmas, particularly when it comes to playing a villain who may not make it to the next film.

    The difference here was Craig had already been cast as Bond and played in two Bond movies when C&A came out. Had it been a success, I think it would have been more akin to Knives Out: a good sideline.

    I'm assuming this is a reference to how Marvel has impacted the idea of - and approach to - a franchise, right? Otherwise, I'm not sure franchise filmmaking has changed all that much since 2011; there were an outrageously high number of sequels released that year after all and I think eight out of ten spots in the end of year list, that year, was filled by one.

    Maybe we should take a look at the actors of Barbara's musicals.

    Sure, but it wasn’t on the same scale even then. It still felt like you had room the breathe, which I think is also to do with social media and the development of more streaming services, so the market is now completely flooded with franchise films and now television shows all part of a franchise, not to mention how far we’re into those franchises. Deadpool and Wolverine was the 34th film in the MCU since 2008. Agatha All Along is the 11th television series in the MCU since 2021. Star Wars is consistently trying to push out “content” every year, and the DCEU is rebooting everything only a few years after its last attempt at creating its own successful cinematic universe, with DC even splitting itself between a main universe and elseworld stories. Not to mention WB are also rebooting Harry Potter, which funnily enough ended in 2011. It’s also having a greater affect on the production and post-production, look at what’s happened with VFX artists.

    But again it’s getting the point now where these studios can’t even guarantee their own success, so EON being seemingly patient and taking their time is a wise choice. The world doesn’t need James Bond right now and maybe it’s better he comes when things are a little more stable - if that’s even possible, and going back to picking an actor…

    …maybe it’s better to go for an actor whose managed to avoid all of that mess?

    Peter, please don't scare us! That future scenario you painted is absolutely horrifying. If Othello is that important to BB, then why didn't she make it in the past 3 years?

    It takes a while to put an Indie film together. Even if your name is Barbara Broccoli.

    She's a film producer and should be making other films.

    Cubby only strayed once from Bond to produce a film outside of the franchise (as I recall), and even then that had links to Bond, with it being based on a Fleming children's book, and much of the Bond crew was also on board too. And that didn't disrupt the 2 year gap to get OHMSS completed either.

    I also couldn't imagine Cubby killing off the character either. Maybe this suggests Cubby's heart was more in it far more than his daughter?

    You can't compare them. BB is the only person in the world with the authority to inform us what her father would do, so by default if you respect her father, you need to respect her. It's a different business than it was in the 1960s and to pretend it isn't is just stupid. I'm tired of people blaming her for their impatience while she's actually doing her job extremely well.

    Apparently you haven't been very involved in many creative projects, especially the same creative project for decades. But burn out is real. People need breaks. It's healthy.

    Absolutely. Don't fault her for taking a break. But is it reasonable to assume others in the EON organization have been working on reinventing Bond? Or is every bit of that of her own creation?

    Nothing wrong with breaks, she could very easily delegate to get a script written while still taking time out. And I still don't agree with her making the decision to kill Bond off either, so no, I don't think she is now doing her job extremely well.

    I was onboard with Craig's casting, I was onboard with the whole of CR in fact, which is definitely Barbara's highpoint of the franchise. Some would argue that SF should also belong there too, which I understand, but don't agree with.

    Unfortunately there were too many missteps and it slowly went downhill over the past 20 years since then, culminating with the horrendous NTTD.

    This thread has just become ‘Where does Bond go after Craig 2.0’

    Please keep to the threads title, Who could / should be a Bond actor?

    A few of the older candidates are ageing out, but are there any actors who have been overlooked, or maybe they haven’t had a break out role yet.

    Although he’s too old now, I used to think Tom Burke could have made an interesting Bond. He has a certain amount of screen presence which makes him very watchable, and I’ve yet to see him give a lacking performance. I wouldn’t be surprised to find him in the Bill Tanner role in the next Bond.

    Obviously it’s an exhausted topic by now on these forums. It simply comes down to no one knowing exactly what EON are doing at this time (it’s absolutely true and likely that they are doing preliminary work, especially in terms of looking for/approaching actors to audition). It also comes down to some people here simply not liking some of the later Craig films, and to be honest there’s nothing that anyone can do about that. We can talk about missteps all we want and how bad the franchise has been since CR, but at the end of the day these films are objectively successful and many others will say the opposite about these films. The Bond franchise isn’t in a situation akin to the late 60s/70s where its future was in legitimate question. The next actor will have big shoes to fill, but audiences are ultimately expecting that next actor and film, and few if any believe that Bond ends with Craig. We take it for granted, but it’s an extraordinarily good position for a franchise to be in.

    My bad, I thought I was keeping it relevant by keeping it about the next actor.

    That’s not someone who I would have thought about for Bond, but I can see it. I’d be up for him as Tanner considering he’s pushing 40 now.

    Because Craig's will be tough shoes to fill, I can (maybe) see them going with a seasoned pro like Hoult or Jamie Bell, kind of like they did with Moore after Connery 2.0. Someone who can handle the British press.

    The problem is, they aren't serving anything right now, and haven't been for the past few years since NTTD wrapped.

    I would be ecstatic if behind the scenes right now a script has been written and an actor has been chosen, but they can't announce it just yet. If this is the case, I'm supporting EON all the way.

    My money is still on Theo James as the next Bond. Fuze will be an interesting one for Bond fans, starring 2 potential candidates - ATJ and Theo James. Both roles could be the definitive audition for the next Bond, and appearing in the same movie.
  • Posts: 4,230
    I’m not sure if either James or ATJ will be the one. ATJ I think will have a lot lined up and may not even be interested. James has openly said he doesn’t think he’s right for the part and has said it would probably have too much impact on his personal life.

    Because Craig's will be tough shoes to fill, I can (maybe) see them going with a seasoned pro like Hoult or Jamie Bell, kind of like they did with Moore after Connery 2.0. Someone who can handle the British press.

    I think Hoult and Bell are the right type of actors for Bond - they’re more character actors, not unlike Craig in his pre-Bond years. Not saying it’ll definitely be either, but I think it’s more likely they’ll be established actors than unknowns.

    Jeremy Irvine. I don't know if he has enough gravitas for the role but he has enough experience.

    Gents, look at these new photos and tell me he's too old for the role. Clearly he is in his prime and probably for enough years to come. Aidan Turner is (still) born to be Bond. Get a move on already!!
