Bingo!
Thanks! It might have been in Solo, yes. I don't think I've actually seen a Jensen Interceptor before, it just happened to catch my eye when watching the trailer (hard not to, obviously!).

They are supercool, aren't they? Sort of similar to Aston's DBS / V8 and the AC Frua.
Yes, very much so! Did an image search right now, and the Interceptor looks so much fun. Wish cars had designs like these types of cars today…
I would understand any argument against him as Bond, but right now, Theo James would be – by far actually – my favourite choice for the role. I admit of course, that the direction we might be heading with the next Bond movie would suggest an actor with a different kind of standing or personality – in lack of a better way to put it.
I'd sign under this list ;)

I hope he's a man of his word...
Although, must say that the only one in that list that I can see in a Villeneuve film is Callum Turner. And I’m a big Theo James supporter.
I understand what you're saying, but I've learned to be cautious about assuming how a director may approach a project or who they may cast in a given role.
When it comes to Bond, casting will be driven primarily by two things, the script and what Amazon's overall plan is.
With this in mind, prior to having these two things established, I may have a favorite candidate, someone who I think would be a great Bond; then I read the script and see the screentests. Suddenly one of my "lesser" candidates may leap out as the obvious choice and my favorite may reveal himself to be completely wrong for the role.
The process will play itself out. I like what I'm seeing so far.
Me too, my friend, me too.
I think that's a really strong 5 mate, most of us would be happy with any of them. I'd only say Harris Dickinson is probably more likely than Sam Clafin, in terms of potential screentests in Amazon's eyes, given his age.
I can safely say that
a) do not waste your time watching My Oxford Year. There is no chemistry between the actors, the script is awful and it does not know what it wants to be: A bit of Emily in Paris, a bit of badly executed tragedy, lots of superficial romance.
b) Corey Milchreest is beautiful to look at, but currently too boyish for Bond.
With some thought, I agree
Good-looking fella, but seems a little flat even just in that trailer. I know it's a bit harsh to judge from just that though, but as you advise, I ain't watching that show! :D
Just had a look at the The Guardian review and it says he's quite charming and shows promise, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. You never know.
My top five for a young Bond in no particular order -
Leo Suter
Harry Lawtey
Tom Blyth
Jonah Hauer-King
Harris Dickinson
Prior to Steven Knight coming on board as the writer for Bond 26, there were a few more O'Connell advocates but now, it seems he's really blown up within the fanbase as the next potential Bond. David Zaritsky just submitted O'Connell as his favourite to take on the role on a recent BBC interview.
O’Connell is a true talent. A chameleon. I, for one, wouldn’t oppose his casting, not one bit. He’s short, but when he walks into a room, he’s instantly the tallest man in there. Confidence, presence, charisma, acting chops, a good relationship with EON (and Dame Judi Dench). He’d be brilliant at it.
Now, I’d also want the likes of Cillian Murphy and Adrian Brody to join the cast. Bring on these big guns, I say. Get all the talent possible for this. It’s going to be properly epic.
I get that, my friend, he’s not on my list. But I reckon he’d surprise us. I like him for his screen presence and acting skills, but I’m pinning for someone who actually looks like Bond in the first place. Not that there are many who win under that scrutiny. Not even one, actually. Right now, I’m on Callum Turner’s corner.
