I'm a bit split on Tanner returning. Kinnear's performances were great, however the Craig era's interpretation of the character was a bit... well, bland really. He's more a straight laced civil servant who sometimes assists Bond rather than the good…

Can't stand some of the Marvel films - ugly looking movies too. Picard was garbage as well though. I'm sure the Bond series can learn to balance tone in a way which works. I harp on about it a lot but the Cuba scenes from NTTD are generally seen …

@mtm Yes, now that you mention it she does have a similar vibe to Eva Green as a person and as a performer. Given the right character she could be a plausible choice.

He has been hitting the gym, hasn't he? Still not seeing Bond, but I hope he gets to do some interesting roles in the future. The chap deserves them. How about Lucy Boynton as a future Bond girl though? Maybe not the main one but a sort of Agent …

Re-read For Special Services recently. Such a bonkers book. Not necessarily in an outlandish/fantastical way that Fleming could evoke in novels like DN, but in a 'huh?' sort of way. I'm not a fan of the Gardner continuation novels (if anything I pre…

Wouldn't Poulter's comical eyebrows be another example of the 'weak jawline' thing I was talking about though? I haven't personally gotten anything Bond-esque from his performances in the past regardless, but he's a good actor.

@MI6HQ The funny situation here of course is that NTTD was actually well received critically (among fans is a very different story) but just wasn't the hit they wanted/needed it to be. The delays and the fact that the over inflated budget meant £800…

I've said it before - Turner as Bond seems almost slightly too plausible to turn out to be true. Not quite along the lines of Henry Cavill - certainly more a fan favourite - but not that far off either. The guy looks like Bond. He's a very good a…

@mtm Debatable, but I'm not sure if it necessarily would have helped SP if it'd been delayed/rewritten at that point. It needed rewrites, but ones which targeted the fundamental problems of the story (the fact that nothing new or interesting is done…

I know Boyle said that his idea for the film was more a modern Cold War type thing. Seems rather out of place in the Craig era with its themes of the past, revenge, Bond changing as a character etc. I also know that a story written by Purvis and Wad…

Hemsworth won't be Bond. Just from a financial point of view Bond 26 needs to have a lower budget. NTTD had a budget of about £300 million and didn't quite break even. They'll need to go for a budget of about £185 - 200 million for the next one, …
