  • Actually I don't think they will be necessarily. I mean, what are EON going to do, run police checks on all the candidates? Hack their phones or hire a private investigator to follow them? More likely they'll do what they've likely always done and a…

  • I'd actually really like to see Teale play a villain in a Bond film for some reason. No idea why but it just seems right to me... I'm not so sure about him for Bond, but I could be wrong.

  • Don't think we'll see a Bond film directed by del Toro, but I like the idea of a Bond director with experience in the Horror genre, particularly Gothic Horror. It might give us a more fantastical and even 'fun' film while still ultimately having tho…

  • For what it's worth, I don't think it's a simple case of being 'colour blind' about casting different races for certain roles but whether a) one thinks that a specific race isn't integral to that specific character or b) whether casting an actor of …

  • I've seen people on these forums make the argument that if we got a black Bond, the Bond film they'd star in would be more 'conventionally' Bondian than a film like NTTD or even SP. I don't know for sure whether that's true or not, but for what i…
  • @ColonelAdamski But wouldn't Bond's core traits be his Britishness, his masculinity, his heterosexuality, his patriotism, the fact that he's a man who lives with the knowledge he might go on a mission and not come back, that he's a man with vices su…
  • I think whatever one's opinion on this, the arguments against a non-white Bond have already lost. In truth, the argument for keeping Bond visually as close to Fleming's original creation as possible went out the door when Connery - the balding, rugg…

  • I do like Dirisu, and he's certainly on my list of potential candidates. But like I've said in the past, I think the producers will be conscious of making sure the next Bond is distinct from Craig's Bond. Just like how Dalton's Bond was different to…
