He'll be 80 in 40 years' time.
I agree with Peter though; not quite enough alpha in him. He's a superb actor though.
Just feel he has great range. Also, spoilers for Bullet Train if you haven’t seen it.
I'd say 3-5 years from now, maybe he could be Bond, as long as he could be matured enough for the role.
I could definitely see him being the next Brosnan's Bond (handsome, sleek, stylish and modern).
I agree, @Denbigh! He was excellent in Bullet Train and potential Bond material in my opinion.
He have the looks, I saw him with his short hair and little beard or near shaven.
This guy have a potential.
Personally I think he'd be a big step backwards for the franchise, but maybe I need to update myself on him.
Also too American.
Same here. He's the best Spider-Man in my eyes, for good reason. And that same reason is why he's not a good fit for Bond.
Craig was potentially the first American to play Bond in the movies in NTTD, even.
I didn't know that. But in any case I dknt think his look is right for Bond. And he's too famous.
He looks like a College Student.
He's more into something like Q, wait, maybe he could play Q! I mean his performance in Spider man is a testament to this, he's a Science Student in there (was it Physics?).
Yep. The two characters couldn't be farther apart.
It's not a question of having American parentage. If you were born and grew up in the UK, you'll have a natural British accent. Americans in general can't do a natural, convincing British accent.
It's true. Americans (and us too) have such a small, monotonous speaking broadband, and the British have such a wide beautiful broadband; it makes sense that Americans have a lot of trouble expanding their voices to do a convincing British accent, whereas it's easier for the British to contain their voices and do an American one.
It's like going from theatre (big, communicate to the back of the room) to film (small, acting for the frame of a camera), vs film to theatre.
One thing that's helped me is looking at where in the mouth each accent generally comes from; American comes from the very tip of the mouth, almost outside, whereas British originates way back in the throat. It's all very generalized, but interesting information regardless.
Did you think he speaks with an American accent, out of interest?
I've only ever seen him in American movies playing American characters. So yes.
Think it's the first time I see him older and clean-shaven and he's definitely a top contender now in my mind!
... And I doubt he'll be very busy with Kraven sequels.
Interesting, fair enough. He does (because of his upbringing I assume) have a very convincing US accent.
I think the first time I saw him playing American was in an episode of Doctor Who! :)
Here's his natural accent:
I think it has moved into the Atlantic a little, but is mostly still British I'd say.
I wouldn't be surprised if the movie, including it's director, gets the attention of the Bond producers.
I'm probably in the minority, but I think Hoult certainly could bring a fresh, interesting take on the Bond character.
I like the guy sure enough but I'm not sure he'll ever look grown enough to me, given his father also looks rather young still. Bond shouldn't need facial hair to look mature.
