I dunno, I am just so ??? about the seriousness of These discussions based on the Sun. Sorry...
The Bond job is 50% interviewing/promotion work and there is no way Hiddleston has the tough, steely, no bull s*t persona that the next Bond will need to have in this day of endless press and online exposure. Some of the very qualities that make Craig sometimes arrogant and difficult during promotion, just like Connery, are part of the inner characteristics that makes them such good Bonds.it's not a muscle thing. It's a character thing.
It's because his BBC drama just aired and though LCarre is a great writer, it is still another one of those roles that screams "Hey folks, pay attention I'm auditioning for Bond." They all are very aware of Layer Cake's hand in Craig getting Bond. Only I don't think Craig had any intention of going after Bond back then. Now they all want to be Bond.
Two weeks ago, the widest read Swiss newspaper started a poll with various names as possible successors to Daniel Craig.
Tom Hiddleston actually won that poll, which I found quite surprising. At first Idris Elba and Tom Hardy got the most votes but in the end Hiddleston won.
Given the fact, that he still is no household name, he sure seems to appeal to a lot of people for a possible James Bond.
Of course I've always said so ;)
Still, my favourite remains Dan Stevens, who by the way ended up on rank 8 in that poll.
Yup.
I've seen neither of those gents act, but based upon a Bing image search, I'm not impressed. Both seem to be weedy beta-boys. Henry Cavill, OTOH, appears to have the requisite toughness and masculinity.
Just a shame he's got the charisma of a mahogany wardrobe isn't it?
and I also like to keep in mind as quite telling his last exchange with Jonathan Ross, during the BTS special
What was said during that exchange? Did he imply he'd be back?
I'm not sure why this would be a deal-breaker. There's nothing in doing Superman that would preclude one from being a bang-up Bond.
Ross repeatedly said that he WAS TOLD (by the producers, perhaps?) that Craig was coming back for at least one more, to which Craig kept answering in a humoristic manner, smiling, and saying that Ross apparently knew more than he did. as if it was already agreed upon or at least the most probable outcome, but without wanting to confirm anything yet. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3a0p6w (go to 51:25)
Looks like scripting/concepting is just beginning...
"We have just begun to talk about ideas for the next movie. Each script process begins when we ask ourselves the question: 'What is the world afraid right now?,'" said Wilson, according to FilmWeb.no (via MI6).
