He most certainly does not. He looks Scottish. Do you think producers would choose a Scandinavian looking actor to play a quintessential Scott in a big production like Outlander?
Aidan Turner looks far more foreign. Which isn't a bad thing, as Bond had something of a foreigner in him. But Heughan looks as Briton as one could ever look.
Hey, I've been a Turner supporter for a long time, but I'm also offering some alternatives here. Probably none of them will be Bond, mind you. They're all too old already.
Yes he's pretty perfect. I guess he's still only on the cusp of 'too old' but I suppose they'd want someone they can use for longer.
The thing is, Bond 26 is likely 4-6 years away, and that same gap would likely be between each entry in No. 6's tenure. By the time the next film comes out, Fassbender will be older than Moore when he started at 46.

A whisper of Love A whisper of hate
Shatterhand
but that is just my hope
Well first it will get pushed to 2021 befoe we get to 2022
Sounds good to me 👍
I want to hate this idea......but I really loved his performance in Nocturnal Animals. He was truly so frightening. I'm going to reserve judgement till I've seen Tenet (hopefully in July!).
I recently watched Seberg. I think Jack O'Connell really popped on screen - he's got a swagger, a slightly brutish demeanour and he's very handsome/rugged. His role in Seberg is a little stilted and flaccid (much like the movie) whilst O'Connell is more of an alive and edgy performer. But if anyone wanted to watch a seriously gorgeous film (with stunning photography, sets, costumes, hair and make-up) and see a hint of O'Connell's Bond audition, then check out Seberg.....
I also recently watched My Dinner with Herve (which is bloody excellent!) and I have to say I think Jamie Dornan is a good actor. He is absurdly beautiful and can really do emotion. Plus, one thing he has is a real natural charm. Perhaps it's that Irish accent, but he's funny, sexy and a good dramatic actor. He's the right age and height. I think he's the best shout. Plus he looks like a Bond for 2022 (the franchise's 60th anniversary).....
Just look at those eyes in this picture from Outlaw King. I'd honestly pay good money to see this guy play Fleming's creation.
As for his voice @Univex, if that's the only thing holding him back, as it's an acting role, I think he still has a good chance. Also he's from High Wycombe.
And has the charisma of a block of wood.
I may have say it earlier, but if Eon decides to continue with Craig’s continuity and not make Bond 26 a hard or even a soft reboot, I imagine production could start quickly and in this case Fassbender would be the best candidate. He has something physically of Craig's Bond, he looks a bit like him, while being slightly younger. Thus, he could ideally star in three films... Even if I doubt that such a direction is most likely.
It's feasible...if they do aim for 2022 then Fassbender would be 44/45 (the oldest actor to play Bond). Which would limit his longevity in the role. He was looking a bit ropey in 2019....but if he cut his hair and had a shave, then I'd advocate him appearing.
Personally, if you're looking for a charming Irish actor then Jamie Dornan is the man. I think Dornan is due a resurgence as he is suffering from the Robert Pattinson-syndrome. He's actually a very good actor and he is more than just a Fifty Shades actor.
But hey, I've been proposing new people, so don't any of you guys come saying I'm a Turner fanboy ;) I mean it.
But yeah, Dornan isn't a bad choice, specially with a shaved face, which is as rare for him as it is for Turner. These youngsters and their lack of grooming... :)
Heughan is already too old for it as well. Although I still think he could do a Moore kind of Bond nicely. Eyebrow and all.
Even Turner is getting older by the minute. The pics we usually use of him are now 5 years old. Like this one:
Agreed. Jack O'Connell is the most magnetic, charismatic performer with screen presence on show. However, he is a little short......But I imagine Barbara is in awe of his performance in Seberg, 71 and Starred Up and saying "Get me him!" Only for a 5'8" actor to turn up.....but he was my favourite for a while until people convinced me that he was too short. Which I may agree.
He's got big arms here......
But he's little - also someone should cast Zazie Beetz and Margaret Qualley in Bond 26:
But he doesn't sound dumb. And he doesn't butcher the Queen's english.
Both have already successfully transitioned for the big screen. Apart from that, you do understand that most great British actors have made their careers on stage and on tv, don't you? The best players Britain has ever had, have been stage and tv players who, in some cases, have had the luck to be picked up by major film studios, mostly for baddies roles and cliché crap. But they are brilliant actors nonetheless. Being so dismissive about tv actors in Britain is a big mistake, if you ask me. Now, if you're talking about American tv actors, that's another thing.
I don't see the relevance.
