This is getting tiring @MSL49 ... Either you think you're being funny (you're not), or; you have serious issues.
By the principles I outlined before, it is obvious that Jeffrey Wright shouldn't play Leiter any more, though I liked him in that role. IIRC, he was the only one to play Leiter more than one except David Hedison. Changing Leiters were the rule from 1962 through 1987. before someone invented Jack Wade in 1995. Fleming probably thought of a white Leiter, with a German, probably German-Jewish immigration background, based on the family name he gave him. But that doesn't mean his family lineage is relevant for the role.
Introducing a new Leiter with each future film may actually tie the new series more to the classics than just showcasing any old stuff from the 60s.
Yes, I've enjoyed the series, and I'm a fan of The Witcher III game. In fact I think they should totally ditch Bond playing Baccarat (or poker) and instead have him play Gwent. Much more visually exciting! That Scorch card is a real ****er.
It would be a cool updating of the bridge game in MR.
EON can be original with their casting. McConaughey is too big named, too old to start as Felix Leiter and honestly not much of an actor. I say go for someone lesser known, preferably a character actor who will commit to a multi movie contract.
Yeah, he would've been great casting for Felix Leiter. A real missed opportunity that one.
Would've worked great for the Craig films, though I love what Jeffrey Wright brought.
Depending on who's cast, Matthew McConaughey could still play the role in Bond 26.
You oughta ditch the geeks like JohnTerry you have playing Leiter and come along with us, but that's alright. We'll worry about that later.
There's a new fiesta in the making AS WE SPEAK, it's over at the Texas Hold em table. Full Vespers, everyone's gonna be there. You should go.
I ADORE that movie. "I love those redheads, man."
My FAVORITE color.
I'm not a fan per se, but I suggested an actor from The Witcher as a possible Bond. And no, I'm not talking of Turner.
Seconded
If they don't figure out a way to get her, Vanessa Kirby and/or Florence Pugh into at least one of these films in the next 30 years, I don't know what they are doing.
That would be Excellent.
A lot of the general public struggled with the 'James Bond will Return' at the end of NTTD how are they going to cope with Dalton playing M?! James Bond is M!!!
James Bond will Return… … …as M!
And the main character of the next movie is someone completely different.
This will never, ever happen, but it would be fun to see some fan‘s minds melt when they finally get Dalton back, but the prize is having Lashana Lynch or someone similar take on the lead role.
Would the public really struggle with Dalton as M, though? As far as the general public is concerned, Bond is Connery, Moore, Bronson and Craig. If any Bonds could get away with coming back as M, and not be as distracting, it would be Dalton (and Lazenby).
Most people leave before the end of the credits, for any and all movies.
