    Hoult lost Batman to Pattinson, Superman to Corenswet, Rooster to Teller and Jon Snow to Harington… if he loses Bond to someone else he’s gonna quit.

    Look if Amazon goes to the straight white man I can see them casting someone like Theo James. I wouldn’t mind even tho he always looks like he just finished shooting a perfume commercial.
    Turner would be great but I feel they will go to a better known face. The safe choice is obviously Cavill but I hope for something way less lazy.

    Theo is too greek, Bond is an Anglo-Saxon alpha male. It's not complicated, and that's the character, like it or not.

    Interesting response from Theo James, I'd be happy if him or Aidan Turner were cast

    Well he's Scottish and his mother is French Swiss, so more Celtic than Anglo-Saxon.

    It would be interesting to see what DNA tests would reveal about the ethnicity of previous Bonds

    While I want the actor to be British, where his ancestors came from is irrelevant

    Plus Fleming's Bond wasn't from 100% British blood himself, like a lot of British people, and wasn't English. As you say, it doesn't matter at all. I'm not convinced by Theo but I'd hardly rule him out just because of his lineage.
    The vid Jordo posted above is interesting because he's not saying no at all, and neither is he saying he desperately wants it, which is kind of the right way to pitch it if you're in the running and not averse to the idea.

    Assuming Amazon now get a move on with the next Bond I wouldn't be adverse to a traditional Bond on a mission movie with Cavil in the role. Is he a great actor? No, but then neither was Moore or Lazenby and I loved them both.

    I vote for Cavill to be in the Chippendales movie instead

    Oliver Richters for henchman . As seen in Indiana Jones and most recently Reacher on Prime. It is almost inevitable surely

    He can't lose if he never had a chance.

    That almost sounds like a Bond film in itself!

    Henry Cavill was just announced as Longines new ambassador. Looking cool, I'd say. Lots of grey there in his hair. We could do worse, I think.
