What?
which is kind of a shame as I just get an early Connery vibe from him I know many consider him more a villain or henchmen type but to be fair a lot of people complained the same way when Craig was cast (one person arguing he looked more like Red Grant then 007)
Besides I always viewed 007 as a villain who worked for us... He is ruthless violent and will happily sleep with your wife and daughter (assuming she is of age) before killing you but he will do so for Queen and Country.
That being said Fassbender is still my number 2 choice for Bond 25 v(sorry I still want one more Craig Film) but if Craig is truly done they should sign Fassbender before he follows the path of actors who should of been bond but wound up not being 007 (sean bean for example)
They don t have to spell it out.
I never understood why people found Daniel Craig thuggish looking. Wasn't he criticized when cast as looking too average and unimposing? I was skeptical at first but not because I thought he looked rough. Yes he convincingly played assassins and thugs in the past but he was in character. I never thought he looked naturally thuggish.
in that order.
Indeed good Dr...in that order,yep.
Fassbender and Hardy are getting old (to start as a new Bond anyway) and Hiddleston is pretty much at the limit.
Who do you fancy for the role @Ludovico ?
What about Domhnall Gleeson? He's a very good actor, tall enough, been in some great films and isn't a "star". Give him a good nutritionist and throw him in the gym for 6 months and he'd pull off the role.
Tom Holland for Bond? Nope.
Right now no one. I just hope an unknown in his early or mid 30s will show up and blow our mind away.
Which is NOT what I said see comment above.
That's a pretty sensible approach to it.
What can I say? None of the names brought forward really convince me at the moment. That said I was skeptical about Craig when he was cast so obviously I reserve my judgment until a Bond actor is cast and ultimately seen in the role. But as things stand I am not convinced and so it seems are a number of people here.
Agreed...I don't think (apart from @Mendes4Lyfe and Aiden Turner hahaha) that anyone is backing a candidate 100%.
Still, I wouldn't be surprised if a unknown actor in his early 30's could end up landing the role, given that this guy get the roles to show his acting ability, possibly within the next couple of years.
@barryt007 I find this time so frustrating! When they were looking for a successor to Brosnan there were at least a few names I found interesting: James Purefoy, Jason Isaacs, Dominic West. I knew fairly little of their work but I could sort of see them in the role, they had the right kind of masculinity and demeanor. I could have been wrong about any of them and as long as casting went I and many were way off the mark but at least there seemed to be something in the pool. Now they are either too old, too youthful looking or have rather dubious limited skills.
Agreed...it does seem to be a very small list of genuine contenders.
I think its best if Craig does one more film and we see who comes through after that.
Settlle down, just poking a little fun.
Funnily enough I was always an advocate of Charles Dance as Bond (in his younger years)
