So you can drive a manual car? That's a good start.
Do you wear life jackets on a boat?
How’s your hairline?
If your co-star eat garlic, what do you do?
Deux Moi getting in on the casting action again. Though it should be noted they did reveal the cast of White Lotus 3 before the trades.
Yep same mate. I'd hope they'd have stronger candidates after all this time to be honest.
The question is: when has this person been right on Bond?
If my memory serves, he's been around a bit with rumours about Bond and was always proved to be incorrect.
I'd make a wager and say, hes not onto anything here.
Edit: a quick Google search showed they've been posting Elordi would be the new Bond since March 2022.
So for two years.
No script.
No director.
This one, and now three actors, are in the running.
I hope you're right mate
I think he's trying to be the next Barry Allen / The Flash.
I looked them up.
Seems there are several people running this. Seems they're more "generators of gossip", rather than a legitimate film-tv source.
But once again, I believe in the past they all but struck out with Bond rumours.
There's not a script nor a director, nor a release date.
I'd take the bet that there's no smoke here, other than posting three, hot, flavors of the month.
He saw Ezra's behavior and went "wow, you can choke whoever you want and they'll still release your film. Nice!"
They have people, everywhere…
Saltburn, Masters of the Air, are buzzed about projects now streaming, and; ATJ’s Marvel film is around the corner (and he’s been mentioned as Bond as many times, if not more than, Clive Owen back in the day).
If we knew the script was done., and;
A director attached…
…. I would definitely reconsider my thoughts on this.
But no one is attached.
As far as we know there’s not even a script.
There’s not even a release date that they’re working towards at the moment. These three things are more telling than anything else…
All this gossip site has done, was name three hot actors who “reportedly” (by whom?), met with producers, and; they published a poll asking if this is a smoke and fire thing, or is it suspect, or is there no truth.
And strangers are the ones doing these polls. Strangers whom are guessing based off of the tricky way they worded their poll.
I also heard actors had met with EoN for meet and greets (a year and a half ago!); I wasn’t privy to names. It could be these three or, it could be ten other guys.
But when I heard this, it was many moons ago, and since then, we’ve had two devastating strikes, and a lot of radio silence from EoN HQ.
Once again, anyone involved in whatever may, or may not be happening at EoN, has signed an NDA, and I’ll bet that none of these people would risk their livelihoods telling a gossip columnist who is in the running…
I do often think "never say never", but I'm not gonna put all my eggs into this basket because of the reasons you've also stated above. I'd probably be more likely to believe the rumour if the names were rather left field and again wasn't being discussed at length by James Bond discussion boards.
I guess it's time to start championing myself to play the next Bond, see if any outlets pick it up eventually.
Yeah I guess that could be very true. Spies for gossip sites scouring and mining popular fan sites for “news” they can turn into clicks. I’m pretty sure that’s how most of the rags poop out their BS on a daily basis (and not just about Bond, either)!
100% agree with you here @peter
I'll take this with a pinch of salt for now. Unless EON are much further along than they say they are, then I'll listen to someone who actually works in the industry and knows how it works, rather than some clickbait gossip column.
Good! There shouldn't be one until there is a script all the key players (producers and the director) are happy with.
On a different note...
"Calum Turner? Jacob Elrodi? Ha! Weak sauce! I got this."
As an aside, could we crowdfund some laxatives for ATJ?

It's just how the media wagon works.
Doesn't mean we cannot jump on it for a while, for fun's sake. Forum's are meant for this, after all. But let's not be too serious about it, shall we? We mustn't fight one another for truth, when there are only a few names being pushed into the limelight, briefly as it may be, just to be quickly thrown aside in the coming months.
EON could very well respond to all of this, but why should they? It's free publicity for both sides, while they keep on chewing the Craig era to no end as they go through their very difficult mourning ;)
