    Taron Egerton says he's not part of the Bond conversation: "I think they've already got someone and it's not me"
    https://gamesradar.com/taron-egerton-james-bond-exclusive-tetris/

    Egerton's name has also been linked to James Bond casting rumors ever since he hit the big screen in 'Kingsman: The Secret Service'. However, according to Egerton, he's not involved in the conversations for that. When asked by Total Film about this, he says: "Yeah. I mean, I think they've already got someone, and it's not me."

    Pushed on whether this is just based on instinct, Egerton adds: "Yeah. I mean, I've never been a part of the conversations. I've never met the Broccolis. They've never enquired about me. I've just never been one of the guys that they're looking at. I just don't think I'm the right person for that. I think there's much, much, much better candidates for that role than me. But, you know, I'd be a very willing audience member. They're brilliant films."

    He’s no more in the know of the casting process than anyone else.
    Sadly, it’s just a bit of clickbait, though I like Edgerton. Definitely not a potential James Bond though.

    I think he’s accurate in that he has never been part of the equation, but as far as his thinking that EON already has someone in mind, I think he is echoing the ATJ rumors.

    Oh

    I assumed he must know something since why else would he say that? very odd...

    I'll be on the lookout for the release of his upcoming film, should be interesting. Vikings is cool, but I would like to see more of him, indeed.

    I’v been a bit doubtful on Sutter precisely because he’s been lacking a movie like this in his filmography. It’s got a bunch of talented actors in the cast, but Sutter is in the lead? That suggests someone has faith in him, so maybe he will be a contender.

    Madden ? Seriously ? Once again, just watch The Take, in which his own character bemoans the sad comparison between himself and the real man hero portrayed by Idris Elba. Whether you favor Elba or not, the point is made. Madden ain't it.

    If that's the logic, then Angelina Jolie should have been Bond instead of Daniel Craig.

    Madden played a part in that film, as actors do. His Bond wouldn't be comparing himself to real man hero Felix Leiter. He'd be doing his job as an actor and making Bond the alpha.

    I failed to communicate clearly, then.

    Very much so.

    What surprises me is that anyone who's seen R Madden in films would suggest he'd be someone good to portray Bond.

    Leo Sutter, born in England. He portrays a Viking well. So well that I thought I'd be in a position to borrow a line from Austin Powers - why not ? the producers did - and say "Nooo ! He's freakin' Dutch, man !" Alas....nay...

    He was a convincing actor, understated yet had a dominant screen presence.

    It was his performance in 'Bodyguard' that brought him into the conversation.

    He is a class act.

    Very likeable in GoT too.

    He’s a lot cooler with his natural Scottish accent, but I’m still not excited by the thought of him playing Bond. He’s an okay actor from what I’ve seen so far, not bad but none of his performances have won me over (not that I think you need to be a great actor to make the role work).

    I’m in the minority in that I thought Bodyguard had a tense opening, then got steadily more risible until the last episode felt like a parody.

    I think Calvin Dyson has just uploaded a good video on the subject of Bond 26. Even though we like different styles of Bond films, I always find myself agreeing with his perspective on Bond in general

    I enjoy Calvin’s videos.

    It's weird, someone posted an interview with Henry Golding a while back and he basically says the exact same thing, that he isn't being considered and that he thought they already had their man. Why would Egerton and Golding both assume they were out of it, if the casting process has supposedly not even started yet? And how would they know that they already had their man? Do they have some sort of inside info? Strange.

    They are just parroting what they’ve read in the echo chamber of the tabloids and entertainment sites; I doubt if they have any actual knowledge of an actor being cast or at least being strongly considered.

    If I were there agents, and we hadnt heard either way or even been contacted by Eon, thats not the answer Id suggest my talent give if they want a shot. They may have "asked around" and heard something. Granted, they may have only gotten signals that they aren't of interest. Who knows.

    But but but there could be :)


    Actually do they need to set up B26 limited in order to hire Nolan to write and direct bond 26?

    I think so, at least in order to hypothetically pay Nolan/give him a contract.

    ATJ’s just been cast alongside Nicholas Hoult in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake. Two possible Bond candidates together :)

    It's already filming so it definitely wouldn't affect his filming, provided we're in a reality where he's already been cast as Bond.
