You don't use a persons skill color to generate hype. That in itself is appaling, and should be to any self respecting black actor as well.
Well said, both of you, @CommanderRoss, @00Agent, well said.[/quote]
Self respecting black actor? Shakes head. Punches kittens. Takes CBD oil.

Hopefully B26 won't be delayed too much after the current film comes and goes. Still I have a hunch we'll still be looking at a long gap again.

Were those dark or white chocolate cookies? Shakes Head. Goes to loo. Switches on extra hot steam and clean on Japanese toilet.
The fact of the matter is at present, Daniel Craig is James Bond. So no-one need be concerned if the next actor is white, coloured or any other orientation that the character could be conceived in in the future. So lets leave it at that. Thanks.
Quite right old boy, quite right indeed. If anyone has a fully functioning brain @EoN HQ they cast the next 'chosen one'
Woah! What a stunning photo! :)>-
You and I are on the same page as usual about Turner, dear @Mendes4Lyfe
Many of us are. Good to see the number of fans increasing.
Turner will have a bloody awful time shaving that beard every single day for Bond, though ;) The eyebrows, deep voice, intensity and sense of fun, are the things that, for me, harken the likes of Connery. Guy's also very physical, not less than our man Craig is.
Still say we've got our next Bond in him. At least he doesn't seem like a wimp, like most other candidates do. Hell, the fact that he looks more like me than Craig does, pleases me, I can't lie about that. But I did get into the Bond books and films because I found myself identifying with the character as depicted in most of its iterations.
Just substitute the title with "Meet the new Bond"
There's a Bond reference in there, in that very same cover, actually.
Guy just screams Bond.
+1
They must know many fans want this, by now. Don't they? ;)
What's the likelihood of Turner being talked much about as a potential Bond outside Bond forums? :-?
Good, I reckon. Also, I think they read us, not in a compulsory way, but I bet they do.
Barbara is aware of the fan community fluctuations, I'm sure. They know what they want, but they are smart enough to have people look for this sort of thing.
It depends on many things, such as do EON think he is right for the role, who else he may be screen tested with, whether he performs well in the screentest, and so on.
There's a long way to go before Bond #7 is required. Turner may have moved on by then.
EON may have too.
You could be right, but my guess that the "hype" he gets around here isn't representative of the attention he gets outside the forum (as a Bond candidate that is).
That's not saying I'm not curious to see what he could do in the role. Out of the many candidates mentioned here, he's one of the better.
Very true.
Of course, @Benny. That's almost common sense. When we hail the guy as the next Bond, we're doing it with fandom spirit.
Personaly i don't see the Dalton comparison though, he comes straight after Brosnan for me, same dark, seductive demeanour, maybe a bit more street and rough (which is good, closer to Craig), but he has all the right ingridients. Give him a haircut and a shave and he's good to go.
Definitely a possible.
Not a dark horse at all…..
In fact, Huston is one of the few names we know that Barbara Broccoli is keen on. It was confirmed by Baz back in the days when Craig’s return looked tenuous:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4299532/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-ponders-play-007.html
Huston has worked with Broccoli before on her stage production of ‘Strangers on a Train’. Broccoli may already have a preference towards Huston.
I struggle with his filmography. I haven’t seen him in a enough and the roles I have seen are often minuscule. He’s due to appear in Scorscese’s ‘The Irishman’, so let’s wait and see……………..
Personally, I quite like the look of Harris Dickinson. Though at 23, perhaps he will be Bond no.8
My top choice is still Jamie Dornan…………………..
You could argue there's a destructive paradox becoming a Hollywood actor. As soon as British actors venture beyond British tv and lower budget British films they're into the big time: big budget, wide release Hollywood financed feature films. "Hooray", the actor says, "I've made it!" but if the films tank big time it does tarnish the actor. If you got a huge box office flop on your CV - a flop that lost a studio millions of dollars - is that really beneficial in helping you get Bond? I doubt it. In a weird way it might be better for the next Bond actor to stick to theatre roles or low budget British films. If you chase the Hollywood dream and it doesn't work out it's not going to help much, perhaps. Just an alternative way at looking at it! If Aidan Turner avoids the lure of Hollywood - and doesn't try to become a movie star - it might help his Bond chances.
