I’d still like Gareth Evans to do it, but sadly the more I’ve thought about it, the more I can’t see it happening. I don’t think EON, or any big studio, would let him shoot all the action himself and oversee his usual long post production/editing pr…

Jack O’Connell, Sope Dirisu and Theo James are my favourite “plausible” seeming choices. Callum Turner probably wouldn’t be too far behind, and I still kind of like Matt Smith as a left field, something completely different one. My actual top thr…

Highly recommend The Capture to anybody who hasn’t seen it. Turner’s brilliant in the first season, definitely shows he has the masculine edge you need for the role, and it’s a great watch. Bond could take notes in how they’ve drawn on present day f…

Found myself nodding constantly as I was scrolling through this thread then, the baddies have probably been the weakest part of the Craig run. As well as the great points people have made above, I’ve sort of missed them having “day jobs”, fronts …

After seeing Saltburn, I do think Elordi is a good actor, and if he ages enough and tones down the plummy accent (Bond is posh, but he shouldn’t sound that posh imo), then who knows, maybe he could play a good Bond in ten, fifteen years or so. No…

I’d like stand alone-ish films with a character thread running through them. I like Bond feeling the impact of his adventures, and I don’t want to go back to the films being completely stand alone again. But I don’t want another long plot arc like t…

The headline in the Mirror today does say she was dropped. But she was good in the Christmas episode (which makes her getting sacked for her acting unlikely, it’d be behind the scenes drama if anything), and there’s been plenty of cast members in Do…

O’Connell has been my favourite “realistic” (obviously none of us know what will happen, but I think he seems to be in the realm of possibility for the reasons @007HallY mentioned) choice for the role for a while now. Terrific actor, commanding scre…

I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed the first one. I thought Eccleston had an edge and earthiness to his Doctor that grounded the camp stuff in the first season, and that was lost when Tennant came in and Davies started leaning into the wacky stuff …

It’ll be interesting to see what the age rating is for this one, because you can’t really style your way around violence with a game like you can with a film. The bloodless shootouts were looking very dated compared to other games by the time Legend…
