I know I'm biased but Hoult knows how to carry a firearm (unlike Gillen) another box ticked. 500-1? c'mon!
I am more skeptical about how it would work for Bond. In itself, I'd love a Holmes type of Bond movie or a period piece, but I fear it would get in the way of the series as a whole. You have the luxury to create one/off movies in the superhero genre and in franchises that produce a dozen films a year, not to mention TV series and what have you. You'll have your main series regardless of that risky standalone project.
Yeah, I think the only remaining question about Hoult for me is: can he be convincing as a tough guy? It's ironic that he looks so much like his friend Ed Skrein, who plays bad guys so often, but they have a very different presence on-screen.
I agree, and Hoult has a charm that would benefit that.
Good point.
That's a fair point mate. Maybe if they went with Hoult or someone similar (perhaps softer in a sense) do you think that would mean a change in direction? Maybe make Bond more of a spy and less of an assassin?
I'd honestly be happier with Hoult, than I would Cavill, Hardy or Page
Freaky eyebrows ? Check pre- Bond Connery!
Crikey! I can't unsee that now haha, really bushy eyebrows. I think his brow and eyes in general look kinda scary. I don't know, looks too "nice" in appearence as well. Dammit. Has a fit bird tho
True but neither looked soft like Hoult does. I'm not against him mind you, and I think 500 to 1 is ridiculous, but I'm not convinced yet. That said, if he was to get the role, I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm not seeing what you're seeing.
I think he looks soft. Something about his eyes and the shape of his face. I am not convinced so far, but I'm happy to be proven wrong. And I might be proven wrong because in spite of my reservations I think he's got a fair chance to get it.
Craig struggled to quit smoking when he was cast. Hoult would probably struggle to give up his pacifier.
That's what happened with Daniel I believe, he wasn't really getting spoken about until 6 months before he was cast
100% this. Hoult looks like a softie. Sorry gents.
There is something slight about him, but I have a sneaking suspicion that could be a good thing for a Bond for the near future, with many other action stars going a bit heavy on the HGH in the last few years.
He's still very young, but even Moore and Brosnan looked tougher at his age. It is true that if cast as Bomd it won't be until 4-5 years at the earliest. He might mature.
Not getting it with any of them!! Hoult?? You're joking? Way too babyish looking!
If it wasnt for NTTD delay, I really would hope Craig comes back again, as I just dont rate any of the names mentioned!
For Bond you're not picking an actor for who he is right now, you're also thinking about who he'll be in the upcoming ten to fifteen years.
Absolutely, as I’ve said, you don’t need a traffic signal to be green when you’re blocks away; you need it green when it’s time to cross that intersection.
Now is not the time for the next Bond .
Well said.
