Basically I’ve made a huge boo boo. I just always had it on my head that it was Aiden Turner playing Bond’s first kill in CR, but it seems not the case at all. How ridiculously embarrassing
So although I personally wouldn't want Benedict Cumberbatch in the role it is intriguing to consider actors like him and Matt Smith as someone earlier suggested. Something that would have been unimaginable pre Craig. Brave new world and I can't wait to see who will be unveiled.
No I don't either really I just mean it's really exciting that the net can be cast so much wider now and so many left field choices can be debated.
Agree he was a wonderful doctor though. 👍
Great Bond look here
Getting Dalton vibes. He looks like a hybrid of Dalton, Lazenby and Goldeneye Brosnan here.
Back then and like to repeat that, i stil hope 7th actor is older then me. As example i said Julian Bailey born in 1977 but i expect somebody born between 1983 - 1989 (3-9 years younger then my self). But atleast actor should look and behave older.
If he having that Brosnan vibe more then only on this picture (being good in interviews, liked by the media. ) be match with production design of some of Daniel Craig movies and inproved Die Another Day then mabey can be good choose. Then he is 49 in 2035. 5 - 7 movies in 14 years be fine: 2024-2027-2029-2031-2032-2035 (2034). Option for 8th movie is possible.
5 movies in 15,5 years was clearly not enough. Next actor 2,5 - 3 years after his first for his second and atleast try get 5 movies out in next 11 years (2021-2032).
There is something of Dalton and Fassbender in him on this picture. Supposing Bond 26 enters production in 2024, he will be 38 at that time, I would have preferred a younger actor to tackle the role but Clafin would undeniably, and this proves it, be a strong and very good choice.
And yes, that's exactly what Bond is supposed to look like.
He's now my favourite.
Top choice, IMO.
Just keep his haircut just like so.
Could you actually see him playing Bond? Looking and acting like Bond, whatever the shot? Pulling off the action? I can’t.
I’ve got no opinion either way on Clafflin. I’ve only seen him in Peaky Blinders, and while he was good in that, he was playing Oswald Moseley, so he didn’t really get to show any Bond qualities.
But I think you do make a good point about photos. I’ve seen a lot more pictures and comments about looks in this thread than I have about why some of these names would be a good choice. And on the flip side, I’ve seen some interesting choices slated because people have written them off entirely based on an unflattering
photo. Looks really aren’t everything when it comes to casting Bond imo, and I don’t think we can judge how good someone would be from a still image.
Yes, I can. Maybe Connery/Brosnan action, and not Craig action. Stylish and smart over grand and brutish, but yeah, I definitely can see him do it.
Of course not, because the overall appearance of Ffolkes was the one of an old sea wolf.
Very short scene in Last Night in soho but he completely acting like Bond.
Probably a little on purpose, a tiny audition. Too street for my liking, however.
At an audition? Of course old boy :)
Very gracious. . .
The sad truth
He could also write and sing the theme tune. ;)
.....and it would be a hit forever stuck in our heads.
