    Make him real. That's the risk.

    It reminds me of Matthew Rhys being asked; "What would you do differently?"

    It's kind of a strange question, since it only really merits one type of response. As @mtm pointed out a while back, any actor who's serious about getting the role, is going to say something along the lines of, 'go back to the books', 'bring more depth', 'make him flawed', 'tougher', 'more believable', etc. No one's going to say, 'I want to make him a complete cartoon character.'

    It does make me wonder how an actor today would answer that question. If they give the same type of answer, would the response just be; "so the same as Daniel Craig then?"

    Yes, it's a stupid question. "I want to make good movies, not like the ones you've been making."

    This guy robably fits Amazon's younger Bond description:

    Corey Mylchreest

    British actor. Done tv work for Netflix so not a total unknown with no tv experience. Age 28.

    His latest work:



    He seems to tick some of the obvious boxes.

    Good looking albeit in a soft ish way.
    Decent voice.
    Streaming tv work so not a complete unknown.
    Right age.

    Reminds me of Nicholas Hoult mixed with Tom Cruise in appearance.

    I don't know if he has the acting ability/screen presence for Bond but a name I've never heard of before. May have potential.







    I posted about him earlier, as I think he's a viable candidate for Bond. Yep.
    He really shone as King George III in Netflix's Queen Charlotte.

    Don't tell me I'll have to watch another predictable romcom just to see a potential Bond actor. The worst thing is: I'll do it.

    It's actually a hard question for the actor to answer, if the producers don't know which direction they want!

    It was probably a bit more straightforward (in a deceptive way I guess) for the ‘05 lot considering they were adapting CR… so saying ‘go back to the books’ is probably not a bad way to begin that answer, but the explanation gives a sense of how the actor thinks about the character. Which is probably useful.

    I have to be honest but I wouldn’t mind if Harris Dickinson got the role.
    He’s easily the best out of Holland and Elordi.
    My guess (if it’s true) is that Amazon seem to be looking for a young Bond, so many of our favourite choices could be ruled out.

    They can't rule me out; I'm no one's favorite.

    Elori would probably be more interesting to girls.
