And Hiddleston has animal magnatism? :))
He makes Connery, Eastwood and Statham all look Camp !
I don't think anyone is dismissing him, just saying that based on the evidence he doesn't appear to have the tools to hold court in a Bond flick. When you stand him up next to Hiddleston, who consistently steals the show in the Marvel films and is deemed worthy of a leading man role in High Rise (which incidentally he's brilliant in) he seems a little lightweight to me.
someone posted here he was infact only 38 ( I think)
He could be Turner's father! ;)
Is Fassbender German-Irish?
He's 39, so if they went with him for a 2018 release he would be 41 in his first film, 1 year younger than PB in GE and 1 year older than TD in TLD. Fassbender is my choice of Bond - he's brilliant in Hunger.
Then you have people like Keanu Reeves, who decided to stop aging 20 years ago.
he looked a lot younger in LALD.
Me too. Even though he is Magneto and has the Alien prequels going on, I would love Fassbender in the role. He would nail it and continue Craig's tradition of being a great actor in the role first, and the character 2nd.
I just didn't think Fassbender really ever wanted the role.
Better than Hardy but with that hard edge.
Friend hovering there too.
@Creasy47 He was born in 1953, they were not filming GE in 1993, filming commenced on 16th January 1995, he was 41, then turned 42 during production, was 42 on release in November 1995.
Daniel Craig and Katherine Heigl are said to be finalizing deals to join Steven Soderbergh’s heist film Logan Lucky about brothers who plan a crime during a NASCAR race in Charlotte. The film is scheduled for a fall start date, which puts further into question the actor’s willingness to return to the Bond franchise for MGM. Pre-production on Logan Lucky starts this weekend at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 and NASCAR says it has thrown its support behind the picture which is huge given that the sport has literally millions of fans across the country and advertisers flock to it. In fact, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has been the No. 1 or No. 2 most-watched sport of the weekend 10 times in 2016 and it has had about 40M unique TV viewers over the last 12 races.
There have been no negotiations on where the Bond movie will land (Sony or Warner Bros. are out front on this) and although it was thought that negotiations might start after the first quarter 2016, parties are not likely to engage in negotiations until later this year. There is no workable script yet and the creative elements have yet to come into place. It has also been widely reported (and confirmed by Deadline) that Jamie Bell has discussed the Bond role with his Film Stars Don’t Die movie producer Barbara Broccoli (who has long produced the Bond movies). Craig has been very vocal about not wanting to do another Bond. After Spectre, he said publicly that he would rather slash his wrists than do another in the franchise.
The actor has also signed up to star in a limited TV series Purity which is likely to be 20 episodes over two seasons and producer Scott Rudin and writer/director Todd Field are currently negotiating to set that up now. The series hopeful based on the novel by Jonathan Franzen is about young female activist named Purity (or Pip) who begins a worldwide search for her Dad. It marks Craig’s first TV series in the U.S.
I thought that was Richard Hammond at first!
