Hopefully whoever they pick has as much screen presence as Murphy
Richard Gere Jr.
Tall, gentlemanly aesthetic, and a cheeky Bondian self-assuredness that makes everyone want to punch him in the face. Would be able to handle a lighter comedic tone, but I anticipate a predictable performance that would lack range, depth and intensity, since he hasn’t had any roles to really showcase such aspects yet. A safe choice nonetheless.
You are too funny. Have you watched Peaky Blinders?
We don’t watch or talk about performances in this thread mate. We just microanalyse still red carpet photos and wank over Aidan Turner.
Most of the best looking men these days would look fairly decent dressed up as a woman. Even your man Turner with those long Poldark locks of his.
There are others I'd rather see be Bond, but I wouldn't be against casting him
Nothing femine about Turner's face, old boy.

I'd like Callum Turner to play Ian Fleming. He'd be great.
I have nothing against a gay actor playing Bond, but I'm skeptical about this one.
Yeah I meant he would be the first gay actor to play Bond. Not Bond becomes gay
Sure. I recall when Rupert Everett sort of tossed his hat into the ring. At the end of My Best Friend's Wedding, on the dance floor with Julia Roberts' character, he struck the gun-alongside-face pose, and joked. I suppose that speaking outside the film he was just promoting. I don't know whether he wanted to be considered for Bond or not. But he certainly looked right. Tall, young but mature enough, handsome, somewhat Hoagy-Carmichael-ish.
Old, but would still draw younger audiences. Controversial casting that would be good PR and do well in additional markets (Africa, The Americas, Middle East, Europe). Oozes masculinity. Is well known enough to pull fans from other streaming services. Duration of tenure is an issue, production would have to start soon. Out of all the black actors I don’t see anyone being nearly as good of a fit as Mr. Idris. Not casting him could be a missed opportunity, that might not resurface in the same calibre in a long time. Would be a continuation of Craig’s type of physicality and presence yet easier to contrast with a more comedic/romantic/nostalgic successor afterwards (in other words a very good transition)
I can imagine Bond introducing himself to a Bond girl: "My name is Bond, my child. James Bond."
That should make him approximately 55 or 56 when B26 actually begins casting.
He could be the first Bond actor to start his era around the same age Sir Roger ended his on. :D
They could fill B26 with obvious stunt doubles. An AVTAK homage! ;)
Give them a nice nod to DN and have the stunt doubles completely change skin color too, just to make sure the audience is paying attention!
In fact, have Daniel Craig do some stunts for him in order to sow doubt and confusion.
What a confusing treat that would be.
Codename theory is true -- Daniel Craig and Idris Elba play different people named Bond!
Craig Bond survived and became black!
In real life, Idris Elba was wearing a Daniel Craig mask all along!
In real life, Daniel Craig now wears an Idris Elba mask!
Idris Elba was Bond all along!
Daniel Craig doesn't exist!
Idris Elba doesn't exist!
Bond doesn't exist!
Craig Bond got gene therapy at Los Organos clinic to become black -- Craig and Brosnan exist in the same continuity!
Codename theory is true -- Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig played different people named Bond!
Craig Bond is the same as Brosnan Bond!
Pierce Brosnan was wearing a Daniel Craig mask all along!
Daniel Craig was wearing a Pierce Brosnan mask all along!
Pierce Brosnan was wearing an Idris Elba mask all along!
Idris Elba was wearing a Pierce Brosnan mask all along!
Pierce Brosnan doesn't exist!
etc.
etc.
And the mods would have to keep an eye on all these threads. Yes, what a nightmare.
Be that as it may, we only need to adapt the iconic line for Elba (as I said above): "My name is James Bond, my child, James Bond." And in a TB remake, he could go to a retirement home instead of a health clinic. And imagine the headlines: "Now James Bond is fighting is greatest adversary yet: arthritis."
Would be the first bond to actually look Scottish. Looks better in a stubble than Craig did.
I’ve said the exact same thing; had Craig left following Skyfall, and the wanted to continue his timeline, Fassbender would have been a perfect replacement.
