Oh, the poor bastard. His career may never recover. :))
One thing Reynor has going for him as a potential Bond is his stare, which is very intense. It would work well for Bond.
I must check out some of Reynor’s work - I’ve only seen him in Macbeth and am mainly aware of him from media coverage here.
This is a perfect example of things being subjective; I see his eyes as looking like a deer in the headlights. Lol.
I just looked at its page on Wikipedia. It's quite funny: there are synopses for all of the episodes, apart from the last two where it looks like even the people writing the wiki page lost interest in the show.

It’s quite surprising that they’re bringing all the leads back (or that they agreed to return). I gave up halfway through - I’ll see what the reception is to season 2 before going back and considering catching up. If anyone has waited for Farrow and Ball paint to dry, you will be familiar with my experience of attempting to get through Citadel season 1.
Ditch the main cast, move Stanley Tucci up to the lead, do less action and CG nonsense, then we can talk.

Not really seeing Bond in his looks, he reminds me of singer Olly Murs, quite a strong similarity, but if he has acting potential to be a secret agent, who knows. May be worth a screentest. He's probably just an actor in a popular Netflix show so he's got some attention. Fair enough, good luck to him but that doesn't automatically mean you're right for Bond.
Ideally a fairly unknown actor with tv experience and a decent to good look, masculine face etc, would be the guy to consider.
I recall reading a tv critics review of Citadel and the critic saying it was the best evidence why Richard Madden shouldn't play Bond. It was a very harsh review but I'm guessing the show hasn't enhanced Madden's chances.

I've found some dull actors really engaging in interviews, and vice versa. However I agree that Madden isn't the right guy to play Bond.
Don’t have enough to say much about Woodall but my instinct is no. Completely unrelated, but just because he’s in that interview I’m surprised Galitzine hasn’t had some Bond rumours attached to him (by the way I think he’s completely wrong for the part, and I’m actually not a big fan of him as an actor, but he’s very much up and coming and it’s the sort of rumour I can imagine him being attached to).
Woodall was decent in The White Lotus but he has no CV. It’s a long way from where he is to carrying a major franchise. Saying that, I do recall a friend of mine noting that he would be one to keep an eye on in the future regarding Bond, so I guess some folk see Bondian potential in him. Maybe if EON continue to fanny around for the next 10 years, he could have demonstrated the chops for the role!
Madden has no hope of getting Bond after Citadel. It’s awful and he is awful in it. He appears to struggle with the accent and completely lacks charisma in the role. I have never seen him in anything and thought he would be appropriate for Bond. I find him quite wooden. After ATJ, Madden would be one of those I would not be on board with as Bond.
My mistake, I should have been more clear; I was talking about Leo Woodwall. Although, I do feel the same about Madden.
I've only seen Woodall in the White Lotus where he played a chavvy rentboy, he definitely didn't give off potential Bond vibes there. Again, he just seems wrong to me.
You've singled out the obvious, new angle this franchise desperately needs: A ponytailed Bond played by Seagal. How haven't we recognized the genius of this idea before??
Hey, my dark, dark horse has been Harry Styles Lol.
Yes it's true. My initial reaction to Craig being announced as Bond was that I liked him as an actor, but that he wasn't my idea of Bond. The more I thought about it, however, the more I warmed to it. Whoever they pick I'll give him a shot, we know they won't pick someone without merit.
More like a dark pony.
He has a tom hardy vibe based on the picture which consisering Hardy was on my list since 2010 i am obviously fine with Hardy lite
Calm before the storm or are they clinging to the notion that ATJ is the next Bond and they're waiting for his official announcement?
Think even the press have lost interest in the idea of ATJ as Bond! We’ll see though. There’s always time for another round of rumours. Perhaps it’ll coincide with Kraven’s release…
If you all check back in time, the first official news of the last two films was the release date and both published were exactly two years before and it was in July. That's how it was done for Bond 24 before confirming Sam Mendes' return; on July 11th 2013 they posted “Bond 24 out UK 23rd Oct/US 6th Nov 2015”. For Bond 25 before announcing Danny Boyle as the director, on July 24th 2017 they posted “James Bond will return to cinemas on november 8, 2019”. Both date announcements were exactly in July, two years before and both before the director.
So, if the schedule is to release Bond 26 in 2026, that first news with the release date should be posted this July of this year. And then we will find out who will be the director and then who will be the actor.
PD: I still don't think ATJ will be the next James Bond. They're going to surprise us with a low profile actor.
