M: Olivia Colman/Idris Elba/Gary Oldman
Q: Paul Bettany
MP: Emma Watson
I'd see Gary Oldman, although I don't think they'll cast someone older than the last actor playing M. Emma Watson is top famous for Moneypenny. I find her a rather average actress as well.
I'd enjoy either one as Q. I do rather prefer an older Q this next time.
I think Gary Oldman and Emma Watson have both said they've pretty much retired from acting: Oldman has said Slow Horses is likely to be his last gig.
Cleese I guess did a sort of phoned in comedic relief thing for TWINE (which was a bit lame), and a sort of more sarcastic but competent version of Q in DAD (which worked better, although lacked Llewelyn's warmth).
It's why I can see the appeal of a female Q. Not sure what exactly they'd do with it though (the most obvious angle is akin to Shuri from Black Panther - younger, confident, humorous, very much that tinkerer type that Lewleyln's Q was in spirit). Not even sure who they'd cast.
Miss Nagai was played by Japanese actress Misaki Ito:
Ann "Q'ute" Reilly was played by London actress Veronica Hare at the Casino Royale Secret Cinema:
Llewellyn's Q, the early iterations at least, always reminded me of my old DT teachers: "Sir, I don't understand." "There's NOTHING to understand!" They know what they're talking about, but they cannot for the life of them teach it. They could go back to it, bit it would depend of who is Bond.
That's interesting, I don't think I got to see any action going on in Q Branch when I went.
M: Richard Armitage
Q: Martin Freeman
MP: Emily Blunt/Jodie Comer
I feel like Richard is a tad young, or perhaps too young-looking, he still looks like he could play an older bond. I could see him working if they got a Tom Holland type, though. Otherwise, pretty on the money imo.
M: Ralph Fiennes
Q: Hugh Bonneville
MP: Alice Eve
Ah yeah sorry I didn't check his age, I seen his latest photo sporting grey temples and a beard with goatee (?)
Still young enough to play James Bond, I don't think there should be a man playing M who looks like he could be the lead actor.
M: Cillian Murphy
Q: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Moneypenny: Anya Taylor-Joy
Isn’t Cillian Murphy both to young and famous to play M?
I could see an actor like Hugh Bonneville in the M role. I’d also be happy to see Ralph Fiennes return.
I jumped to that decision when I seen this thumbnail of his photo. I swear his chinstrap was bushier, but now I can't find it. Let's make him a villain in one of the next installments, and prepare yourself for my next line-up...
Murphy is too young for sure, too youthful too.
I think there should be parameters:
M: Older than Bond, old enough to be a veteran high ranking army officer and/or civil servant.
Q: Young or old, depending of the take on the character.
Moneypenny: about Bond's age, not too old as to not appear motherly and their flirt Oedipian, not too young so Bond will not come off as a creepy uncle.
She definitely doesn't look 42! But I think you're right, it could be an interesting new dynamic. And she deserves a new franchise after that slimy bugger Pegg cut her out of Star Trek.
My first choice for a new Bond is still Cavill, but it'll probably be a man in his thirties.
Q - Aneurin Barnard.
M - Jessica Henwick.
Agree. They have to recast the scooby gang.
Q: Rowan Atkinson
MP: Daniel Craig
I'd be on board to see this.
