He would, yes!
I like Hardy but 5"7 are we having a laugh?
Cavill is a block of wood.
That's great. I think he could make a great Bond, and already has potential for a new direction after Craig, as a more outgoing, charismatic Bond but with a streak of danger and darkness. Also. I think that if there is a criticism of Craig interpretation, is that he is sometimes too sympathetic. Bond should be a bit of a b***erd, but not enough to put an audience off, but draw them in! That's a quality that Craig did well in CR, but lost as they explored his character is depth. Fleming always described a certain cruelness in his books, he is missing that debonair flair, which Turner could bring to the table potentially.
Otherwise I am really growing on Henry Cavill, or rather he is growing on me! I didn't think much of his acting but after seeing Fallout, he is growing. I think from a young age he had a lot of pressure in these big roles, and perhaps he is now only just adjusting to it. He seems more natural in Fallout compared with any film I have seen him in, which admittedly is few.
Tom Hardy I think is another good choice, he would bring a physicality to it, which he usually brings with him, Batman/Mad Max. There are a few other who could also have potential, but after seeing Kong Skull Island last night, I have never been more certain that Hiddleston is the worst or least favourite of all the options to me. It doesn't matter how many muscles he has, there's simply nothing he says or does which comes across as masculine or commanding in the way Bond should. If he got the role of Bond after Craig, I would be genuinely gutted, (sorry to his fans).
Give 'The Night Manager' a watch if you haven't already @Mendes4Lyfe. It might make you change your mind on Tom Hiddleston. Similar to how I changed my opinion of Turner. Whilst he's not my favourite potential Bond, I could see him as Bond.
Is that Ruth Wilson in the last photo? Think she could have been a decent choice for a female Bond villain.
Looked very much like her!
Close but no cigar he he
That is Tammy Blanchard.
She looks very Ruth Wilson-esqe there!
I like this guy, but if he’s Dutch it’s not going to happen... or at least really really unlikely.
He hasn t done anything Bondian, but here are a few without beard.
And one smoking, probably not 80 a day.
37 years old.
Me either!
Probably. Thompson had from what I understand a very small role. He hasn't done much outside stage work and I know little about him. So I'm throwing his name here as a wild guess. I think he has the right look and the right professional background, although still thin on screen. He may be all wrong, but I'd rather they go for a relative unknown.
It's hard to say if he's giving any real Bond vibe in that trailer. Bond is Bond, other spy roles are other spy roles! If cast I'm guessing he'd be closer to a Craig type Bond.
Heartbeat wasn't that bad, actually. I used to watch it every week as a kid.
Yes that it what I meant.
An Asian Bond? It was only inevitable, given the film's success.

Madden gets his time in the limelight. I've yet to see this Bodyguard show.

The publicity for Bodyguard and the stills as soon as I saw them thought here we go again, personally not seeing it.
As for Bodyguard it's from the same pen as Line of Duty writer Jed Mercurio so gets my vote and look forward to it. I've only seen Series 1, 2 & 3 of LOD but boy they were great and I hope to catch S4 when it ends up on Netflix UK.
However, he seems to have beefed up a little and has more maturity to him now, at least based on the clip below. He'll do the rounds for a while on account of this, no doubt. Show looks good.
