I get why some have Callum picked as a good possible next Bond, what with his height, his age, and the varied parts in quality productions that he's been getting. I get that there is a buzz around him, and that plenty of people find him attractive. …

I think part of the issue is that it can take a fair amount of time for an actor to develop qualities like gravitas, acting credibility, and that mature look that we're looking for in Bond. I remember when Cillian Murphy was younger and his name cam…

The worrying thing about Craig's era is that it has relied too much on character development and personal revelations, and these things become disastrous in a long-running series like the Bond films. If you can't make good standalone Bond films wher…

I don't think there is a candidate mentioned I wouldn't give a chance to. I'm always ready to give the next guy a decent chance to win me over. There is a concept that would keep from watching a new Bond film, though, and that is the code name th…

I think O'Connell tends to come across as more of a squaddie than an officer, though I've never seen him try an upper-middle-class public school type of character. It might work for him, or it might not - some actors take easily to accents, and some…

I'll say he was better in Treadstone than I expected him to be from past film roles. He didn't have a lot of competition, though... how do you take such a fun concept and make it so dull? Perhaps they took notes from Spectre?

I watched the Marvel show The Gifted where he was one of the leads, and he was neither bad nor good. Much like Luke Pasqualino, he's the right height and good looking (and I like him well enough in things I've seen), but the fact he is vaguely non-…

One thing Bond fans are brutally aware of is that, like it or not, jokes will happen.

I like Hiddleston, but I got the feeling he was out of the running for Bond.

As an adaptation of the source it's inferior to the BBC production, imo. Hardy's Ricki Tarr is so far removed the le Carre character he's a totally different person.

Well, just to add another name or two for the sake of variety... On another forum someone mentioned Oliver Jackson-Cohen, who starred in the recent Invisible Man film, and was in The Haunting of Hill House miniseries. I'm not sold on him as he ha…

That does seem plausible. Everyone on Ozark is/was top-notch, him included. He was also on the DC Comics show Titans as Deathstroke, and predictably had much more screen presence than anyone else there. Still, we know Hoult was a finalist for Bat…

Apologies on making my first post here on such a heated topic, but it's the one that interests me at the moment, and I've already bored people at the other forums I'm a part of with my opinion on the subject. I've come around to thinking that Hen…
