No doubt, I recognize that, but amongst a wide swathe of possible candidates, surely there's something that sticks out to fans who view Hoult as a top contender for the position, hence why I asked. I haven't really cared for him myself in anything beyond Mad Max: Fury Road and I thought he was fine in the new Taylor Sheridan film, though not very threatening or scary as an assassin. I just don't see him as Bond personally but I'd be willing to give virtually anyone a shot in the role. If he can play the part well, so be it.
I think in one of those recent interviews Michael G Wilson mentioned something along the lines of continuing with what Craig established. I could see them going with Hardy regardless of age.

Israel Broussard. He is born in America, but he is of English, German, Scottish, and Irish ancestry. His Stepfather surname is French. He have looks a bit of younger Dominic West / Ciarán Hinds.

Oh that's interesting, thanks.
-- Deadline, Sept 27, 2021
The click-bait headline is just that-- clickbait... BB says she won't begin to think about a replacement until 2022 (which last time I looked is a long calendar year... and that's when she will "begin thinking about who will replace Daniel Craig", not who WILL replace DC....)
She did discuss it over dinner with Cary; she may not as keen on someone as she was was Daniel but I’m sure various actors have caught her eye.
He's got the classical look, the voice, the presence, too bad they're not going for that anymore. The future is probably just opened to a continuous subversion of the character until there's nothing more to recognise.
Sadly I'd rather the film series end than let that happen.
Well, I've left the cinema today feeling it already did happen :(
Wow. Sorry to hear that. I'll be finding out next week what I think. I seriously considered skipping this one and waiting for Redbox.
Frankly, the film is worth it because of the brilliant first part. It's that good.
It's the rest that's the problem. But really, the first part is sooooooo good. You should see it in the cinema just for it.
That's good. Don't believe I can refund my ticket anyway. LOL :)
There's also a fair chance you'll love the whole thing ;)
One part I'd like to play is Mike Hammer.
I'm not from the UK so Bond would be out of the question for me. I'm also blond and under 6 ft..............hey wait a minute..... :)
I'm Canadian, but I intend to start working with a dialect/accent coach NOW. I feel I've faked British for so long that I could get away with it in conversation with a non-Brit, but I'm not interested in being a surface-level Bond. Just as with all the physical training it takes to play Bond, getting the voice perfect and fitting my vocal cords like a glove is essential.
Personally, I don't see it. Not on these pictures anyway. I think a Canadian could get the role, providing he can have a flawless British accent.
Agreed.
So much so, that the only thing I really want to do today is watch the first four Connery films in a row, like an anti-depressive therapeutic day. I am thoroughly depressed after yesterday's travesty.
I really need my dose of classic Bond. I'll probably read a Fleming novel or two as well.
Because I don't think they'll go for that for the next one. The next one will be even more jarring than Craig in many aspects. We won't recognise our beloved character anymore. It'll be like all of these shows coming out of British produced television, where they subvert History and literary characters for the sake of box checking, equality and inclusion, which used to be wonderful and valorous words, and now are the epitome of absolutism and segregation, as paradoxical as that sounds. It's a paradoxical world, anyway.
Listen, I'll feel better after TB and a novel. I just need my Domino and Fiona combo. I need to have fun again with Bond. I'll probably even watch a couple of Brosnan films, oh, and TMWTGG, yes, even that, just for the sake of good old fun.
You have taste mate.
I want Michael Fassbender for the next Fleming plot inspired incarnation.
In terms of the Craig era:
CR - Best
First 30 mins/ pre-title sequence of NTTD
QoS
SF
Rest of NTTD
SP - Worst
I too like QOS. A lot ;)
And I agree, with time I'm sure I'll see the first 40 m of NTTD as magnificent. I just need to detach them from the rest of the film. Bring on the blu ray ;)
Yeah I would be up for that too
Well he looks enough like James Bond, I'd say. But it just depends on whether he can star in a big movie; I liked him in Poldark but I don't know yet. I wouldn't complain if he got it, I'd be willing to give him a go if he passed the screentest (I'm happy to give anyone a go that they pick: they haven't got it wrong in the last 30 years), but I don't think his looks alone are enough to confirm that he'd be great.
Some folks are a bit too desperate to play the martyr because they think that they might not get a Connery lookalike, I think perhaps we should just wait and see what happens next before gnashing our teeth about it.
