Just looked him up. I can't see him being Bond [-X
As for me, here are two lists, the first one ranks the actors who seem ideal to me if Bond 26 was to go into production in 2021, something impossible in my opinion, the second lists those who are still a little young today but who would be good choices in a few years, for a release between 2024 and 2025:
I've been saying on here for over a year now that it's going to be Jack Lowden. It's not that I necessarily want him, but that there's just a feeling in my bones.
He's not obvious, he's the right age, he's been in some very well received films, he's suitably handsome for the part and he's clearly very talented.
Plus, I like the fact he's not from the predictable Clive Owen/James Purefoy (pre Craig era)/Henry Cavill/Aidan Turner (post Craig era) school of unimaginative, paint-by-numbers fan casting.
In other words, he's nothing like James Bond.
No, he's more progressive and imaginative than what's expected. It worked a treat with Craig. Like I've said before, I wish Jack O'Connell wasn't so short.
He looks a bit ginger! A ginger Bond....no way! He’ll be burnt like a crisp abroad! Ha ha.
Lol. It's going to be him. Mark my words.
I’m not keen on Pattinson. I’d avoid a film with him in it.
The opposite to say a generic film with Roger Moore or Leo Di Caprio. I’d watch any film with those stars in it.
The Lighthouse is seriously good, would be a shame to miss.
Still, I'll reserve judgment if I ever see THE BATMAN.
Maybe I just haven't seen enough of Pattinson's work to judge?
+1.
What about Pattinson makes him comparable to Jim Carrey?
I also don't get the Jim Carrey/Robert Pattinson comparison. Very different actors with a very different career, and Pattinson being Batman just makes sense to me personally.
I think a lot of people only associate Pattinson with Twilight, which is a huge mistake. Easy to make, though, as he hasn't really been in a lot. But he's great in what he is in.
I wouldn't go looking for logic in this thread! :)
This has probably been shared before and seemed somehow relevant to this thread, but look at this video of Film '95 where filmgoers gave their opinions of GoldenEye, the big return of 007 to the screen. But who's that about 30 seconds in... ?
:)
I don't see the appeal as well. Most of his 'best' performance are mediocre at best, i want someone who looks effortlessly good.

Elba would have appeared in Absolutely Fabulous around the same time, where Patsy tells him he looks like Sean Connery. Very funny.
Before Craig was cast, Purefoy would have been my first choice.
I certainly hope so. It's given the franchise the jolt it needed after the execrable Die Another Day. I'd love another daring and edgy choice, far removed from Aidan Turner or Henry Cavill. Bond was resting on its laurels before Craig. Please don't sleepwalk into irrelevance.
Yes I think (other than Lazenby) they pretty much take what they can get and choose the strongest candidate, and then shape the film to the actor to some degree. Craig was maybe lightly less this way as the film had been designed to be more realistic (and that's why they were moving on from Brosnan) but there's an argument that he was too old for the part in the script.
