Yes!
Agreed.
Good post. Agreed.
While he may lack the butch look he doesn't have any issues on the acting front. I'd encourage you to keep an open mind about him. I've noticed a bit of negativity from you on account of his perceived physical weaknesses. That can be worked on with a few weeks in the gym.
I can't say I'd be disappointed if I was to read one day that he was suddenly cast in the role, even for B25. On the contrary, as it may prevent them from going down the waterworks route (like at the end of SF) again and that's fine with me.
I'd be very open to Hiddleston as Bond. Both he and Michael Fassbender are my top choices to bring back a little bit of that suave, classy savoir-faire and natural nonchalance which I think has been missing for too long. I think they can both provide a slightly different and yet complex interpretation of the role, combining cruelty with style. They are both quite versatile actors, which I think is also important as it gives the producers flexibility.
I'd also be open to Hemsworth, particularly if they want to go back to a slightly larger than life approach. I admit that I think the producers will be a bit more limited in the type of films they can make with him, on account of what I've mentioned above.
Anyway, I've got to get ready now in my preparation for Wembley to watch a good man's game of footie.
Most likely the case, yes. If it were down to a Hiddleston or a Hemsworth, I'd happily go with Hiddleston. Luke Evans would be my favourite for the role, but that's unlikely too, unfortunately.
Definitely. As far as I know, Fassbender has been a dream choice for the Bond fans for ten years. The moment his scene shined upon the screens of the theatres in Inglourious Basterds, he was a fan favourite by many. But, sadly, ten years is a long period of time.
Fassbender would have been the clear-cut choice for many of us, had the opportunity presented itself - possibly up to, or even after SF. Now we can only hope to see him as a seasoned spy in a stand alone film franchise.
Not throwing any names into the discussion here, but are there any other actors in the Aidan Turner/Kit Harington age group that are doing tv work these days, that could be a potential candidate?
I don't think Hemsworth is suitable for the simple reasons that he isn't an actor with much range IMO and he isn't British. I won't accept anyone who isn't British.
I'm not sure however if he would pass @bondsum's requirements for testosterone levels.
Here he is with one of the better Bond girls of the Craig era, and also with a potential Bond girl.
I was very skeptical too regarding his look but I've seen other pictures of him and he does not look at all like Viserys.
Agreed. He actually looks gay. Not a great choice for Bond. Luke Evans for example is in real life but is very macho on screen, so he could be a Bond. This actor may be straight but he, IMO, looks too camp for Bond.
Need to rewatch The Great Train Robbery at some point. Luke Evans did a good performance, there.
