I'm not saying ATJ would be Bond, but I believe Brosnan did some brand ads before he became James Bond.
Any evidence mate? Be interesting to see. Besides, it's a different age of exposure. That's my marketing theory anyway.
Yeah. I understand.
And that's why I've not done any Guinness adverts.
Haha! Right. My understanding is even more crystal now :)
I know it's such a daft thing to be hung up on, but his voice and general presence don't feel Bondian to me at all. He feels like an ally at best. I just can't see as a tough leading man.
If ATJ was announced as Bond #7 after years of waiting, I'd be disappointed to say the least
But what I'm trying to say in essence is, whoever Amazon unveils to us as Bond, is most likely the person that suits their vision for the next era....not that I'm trying to say ATJ is going to be Bond, but just saying the next Bond might not resonate with fans, until the first trailer is out. But if he's immediately liked during his unveiling, then cool. But I'm just trying to prepare myself for the actor they'll pick, so it doesn't shock me.
He does tend to get cast as supporting roles mainly, I don't think he's a lead either.
Get a random actor to wear a fake Omega watch. Take photos of him. Put the photos on social media and voila... hundreds of "he's the next Bond!" comments!
If Craig looked like a Steve McQueen's stunt double, Turner looks like the brother of a movie star.
Anyway, I've noticed that he has already worked with Heyman.
Could put him in a good position. I still can't see him as Bond, but I'm slowly warming up to the possibility.

ATJ may have been close to securing the role of James Bond, possibly progressing to the point where associated deals, like the Omega partnership, were already underway. However, behind-the-scenes developments could have caused the casting process to stall.
When Amazon, Michael and Barbara announced a new joint venture, granting Amazon MGM Studios creative control over the James Bond franchise, with Michael and Barbara stepping back, this transition may have led to a pause in the casting process to reassess the franchise's direction. Even if ATJ was in serious discussions or had a preliminary agreement, the shift in creative control could have delayed any official announcements. Meanwhile, the Omega campaign proceeded.
In this context, the Omega partnership with ATJ might not be a direct hint at his casting as Bond but rather a remnant of earlier plans that were disrupted by the evolving dynamics within the franchise's leadership.
This may make no sense, but just a thought.
There was also him booking the GoldenEye estate in Jamaica at the height of the rumors.
Those ATJ James Bond rumours were heavy then. Who knows...maybe he's the one Barbara really wanted. No one can really tell, though. But, yeah...

I'm not sure why anyone would want to write that, other than to act like they are full of "cringeonium" themselves.
This rings true, wouldn't even be surprised. The cringe that keeps on cringing.
Ok...?
