Why would it rule him out? He's not taking over from Tom Cruise. Besides as I stated in another thread, It didn't stop Lea Seydoux from being in Spectre.
"Seydoux was in it for 5 minutes and had like, one line. Many people don't even know she's in Ghost Protocol. Also, she's not Cavill who will have a larger role and who people will obviously remember. EoN definitely wont cast him now that he would have been in UNCLE and now MI."
That's why.
See the biggest problem with a thread like that is that only a very small handful of people could actually legitimately discuss such things in a civil and mature way.
It descends into name calling and bitching. No one backs down, people get offended, arguments spill into other threads and everyone gets tired of it.
Let's keep this a James Bond forum, and all that other crap can go on the 'I want to discuss everything' forum.
;)
Sensible chap.
I agree but even if Cavill became the UK Prime Minister some people will still say he has a shot at being Bond.
Moore had charisma to burn. Cavill by comparison is a slab of MDF. Besides, Craig moved the goal posts on that front, but if you're happy with Barry One Note good for you.
Y'know, I'm fascinated by a growing contingent who appear to have stumbled across this franchise at some point in the last 10 years or so, and seem to think that Bond represents some kind of intercept between high Art/Culture and Pop Entertainment. The same crowd that believes it's "about time" we had a black/female/sheep Bond. The sooner the franchise can throw this merry troupe off the scent, the better. We need a more traditional leading man, tall dark and handsome, to balance out the books. Things have gotten way wayward, and we should really be thinking about returning to shore soon.
Did I say Bond needed "range"? I said, Cavill had 'zero range', ie. he's completely one dimensional. Bond needs an actor who can deliver something a little more than just looking like a Burton menswear model. For the record I've always been an advocate for returning to a more traditional looking Bond post-Craig, but Cavill is not that man. He's a franchise sinker.
The merry troupe you speak of aren't fans, they're a few dicks on the internet. Nobody here thinks like that and I'd guess the bulk of us have been fans for way, way, way over 10 years.
Charming !
Ha Ha, sorry mate! Habit.
He he ;)
?? Ha ha ha. Michael Jackson is African American. :).
Jackson was unfairly accused of lightening his complexion in order to become more accepted by record companies and radio stations. In reality he suffered from vitiligo. A black man became white, rather than a white man (Bond) becoming black.
It sure does, but that is how people talk, from one thing to the next.
Agreed.
If we occasionally ask for something to get back on topic it's only because the point of the thread gets buried in spam.
+1 best musician ever
I wonder if they'll use him as a sort of pseudo Bond?
As for Cavill becoming Bond? I don't see it happening. It would've happened with Cubby, but Babs has a different perspective on the character, so it won't happen.
Whatever the capacity of his role I'm most certainly intrigued.
