  I could see Turner as Bond, although he wouldn't be my first choice. Elordi just strikes me as too odd to really nail Bond.
  
  My first choice is still Leo Suter.

  He looks like the guy of Cover up and Voyagers..

  Suter is my top choice for the role, but I do think he needs a Guy Richie film or a prime time BBC drama to show his potential as Bond.

  Suter is an airhead.

  Oh please, I’ve watched several interviews and he is far from being an “ airhead “ .

  I need to watch it fully, but from what I've heard from a mate who's watched it and clips I'm still very sceptical about how good a screen actor he is. He's not an 'airhead' for what it's worth (in fact he seems like a nice chap and quite smart). But honestly, I'm not convinced he's up to playing Bond onscreen, and doesn't quite have the right presence. Absolutely happy to be proven wrong though.

  I think he has tremendous potential but I’m absolutely aware that he could fall flat during the casting process including screentests.

  Oh yeah. I mean, this is out of our perception entirely. Personally, I just don't see enough there to fill the big screen as Bond, or even a lot of other roles, but as I said I'm willing to be proven wrong, and would be happy if it came in exchange of a James Bond I enjoy. I'll certainly be looking out for the next couple of films he's in.
  
  His voice is very good though, and I genuinely believe he'd be good in a video game or audio adaptation. A bit like how I don't think Toby Stephens would have been the best option for Bond but excelled in that area.

  Nowadays Toby Stephens would make a great Bond villain. He looks far more menacing mature than he was in DAD. He'd make a great Drax now, ironically enough.

  He has the looks. I don't think it's enough but who knows. Lynley might be his Remington Steele.
