Geeky soldier?

Are we back to just trashing everyone else's suggestions with insults? Not really interested.
I was just kidding, sorry if it felt like an insult.
Sadly this is what the thread has become. If anyone is foolish enough to suggest someone even a little out of left field, the gatekeepers appear and if you don’t meet their unwritten rules for a proper suggestion, you’re trashed.
All Hail Aidan Turner! ;)
Hiring let's say Hoult in the next 2-3 years to me would be like hiring Brosnan in 1982. He's too fresh faced and wouldn't be convincing as a secret agent who knows his trade and has a license to kill. But who knows in 10 years time he might be the best candidate for the role but right now he doesn't strike me as manly enough or tough enough.
I think without a hiatus, a lot of these names would be judged harshly when compared to Daniel, I think it would be difficult for the audience to accept such a younger looking man in the role, if they were aiming for a quick turn around and try to get the film out in let's say 2023, they would have to hire somebody who was in their late 30's.
But he's still a great suggestion for the future
A lot of the names mentioned (I know they are for the future admittedly) don't strike me as having that look, they either don't look manly enough without a beard, they don't look tough enough in general or they're too short. I have a few ideas who I could see playing Bond, but obviously timing is a huge factor, along with the direction they won't to go in.
For instance, they might make Bond more of a secret agent in the next version of the character and less of a tough assassin, whereby a Hoult or Callum Turner may be perfect
Sorry for the huge post, I've been away for a while and had a few thoughts on the subject
Since we're considering actors that resemble Prince Charles, we might as well take a look at the actor that plays him on The Crown. 30 year old actor Josh O'Connor.
He actually kind of looks like he could be a candidate.
He’s certainly on a par with Callum Turner as a candidate.
Please name Bond film & actor you wish to see playing Bond. Then press ^ button.
Do you?
That's me out then :-?
He's stunning as well. Not conventionally good looking. Those great sunken cheekbones and blue eyes. He looks like a killer.
He's 44. But looks perfect for the role. He isn't too famous either. He's loved in the UK for being Tommy Shelby. But I feel he would be a Bond with the intensity of Daniel Craig. A perfect successor in this respect. He's so brooding, mysterious and (genuinely) scary.....You might argue he isn't pretty enough. But I disagree.

Henry Golding look even more Bond in asian movie he did.
Twine.
A Chinese Bond. I’d be out.
Yes. The difference is Murphy is a very good actor indeed, whilst Dornan simply isn’t.
Agree with you here mostly, although IMO Murphy is a touch too famous, with Peaky Blinders and having a recurring role in Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Just my opinion though.
murphey would be fine with me
After a quick search, he's 5ft 7 ⅞ ; scratch him off of the list.
So is he.
I was going to ask if that's actually how his ears look, or if they were augmented for the role; they're his.
He's out of the running anyway. I've heard he's being signed up to play the FA Cup.

Yes he’s kind of unconventional but I think he’s a bit of a hit with the ladies: he’s one of those fellas who just has something I guess. Seems a really nice guy from his radio show too.
I’d have no issue as he has bags of presence, but I guess time isn’t on his side.
Also, at least to me, he looks too soft and effete, almost child like. Nothing potentially menacing.
