    These two would do nicely for the cast of Bond26.

    First off, shave the beard clean, no five o'clock shadow crap, either. Get that rubbish bag hipster hair cut off, permanently. Disown that look for good.

    Second, get an outlook like this:
    latest?cb=20170625093738

    Third, don't ever wear tight suits. Keep the balance the way it was during QoS.

    If all these are fulfilled, I'm all for Turner.

    Turner is the kind of guy who has a 5 o clock shadow the second after his razor slides over his face. The man is hairy. Oh well:

    I think Turner has a lot of potential , but possibly more important, my 22 year old Daughter is a huge fan of his. She is also a big James Bond fan, yes I raised her right, ;)
    and is hoping that he is the next 007.

    I'm not crazy about his offscreen, hipster look, but then I'm 55 years old. The franchise needs younger fans to carry on.

    All that matters to me is that Turner looks like Bond when he needs to.

    Apparently odds on who will be the next Bond have been slashed for an actor...
    Chris Hemsworth

    Good points as always @talos7 . I reckon the hipster look probably has to do with Poldark and going incognito in between. Whether that is even remotely possible, to go incognito being Aidan Turner, I do not know. He doesn't really seem to be the hipster type.

    Actually he seems quite the regular lad, in his downtime :D

    Don't know but judging on these pics alone she's not that beautiful. Pretty yes but in a common way.

    She looks a bit like Emilia Clarke. I don't like that type of face myself.

    Did you just suggest Kevin Costner???

    He has only ONE facial expression. Right here:

    Though I wouldn't have minded seeing him in a Bond movie-- just not as Bond himself. (if that's not what you were suggesting please don't mind me ;) )

    Just seen this on page 1 and it made me laugh!! An American actor who played Robin Hood (from Nottingham) with an American accent!!! Amazing how misguided people can be!!! So far from being a Bond!!!

    The redhead I'd love to see in a bond film. Turner could play a henchman, but I just don't see him as bond. 'that slimey bugger' comes to mind, in the words of m.

    I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick, @CommanderRoss. But that's okay ;)

    Seems like only half my post made it: I'd love to be proven wrong. I prefer to enjoy watching a good new bond over beeing right anyday. I'm just not that optimistic.

    +1!

    As for Turner - why not? Depends on several factors though; when EON looks to enter production with Bond 26, how big a name Turner has by that point, etc.

    Bond is bigger than the actor who portrays him. It has been so for all of them. I do hope they don't even think about changing that. Ever.

    Turner is a good Irish boy (i'm half Irish meself) so he can always be found supping in a pub.

    I must admit,he has become my #1 choice now.
    Famous but not too famous or typecast or in another franchise.

    I'm Bond,deal with it...if I turn around,i'm afraid I will have to kill you.

    Turner has all the attributes to be a potentially good Bond. Age, looks, acting ability.
    But is he on EON's radar, and will the studio go with him. He has to date carried no major movie. That would be my only concern with him. He's not a box office draw.
    Do any of our American members know much about him?
    This is why, despite many not wanting him, the likes of Chris Hemsworth are more likely options. He's known, and he's got box office draw. This is based on his Marvel appearances, but if he was the next Bond, he'd be easier to sell and promote.
    I do hope that Turner get's a chance to audition though.

    Bar Roger Moore, no Bond actor was a proven 'Box Office draw' when they were cast. I personally don't want a big name....the Bond brand is a big enough 'draw'. Daniel Craig certainly wasn't an American household name.

    Chris Hemsworth is not likely, he's not a great actor, he's expensive and he's not British.

    If your talking of a Marvel star with box office draw, the more suitable Hiddleston is the obvious choice. Hemsworth (apart from being handsome) has none of the attributes of a Bond actor, literally none.
