Maybe Poulter's back on the radar?
Oh go on then, one more...
This was last night, incidentally.
He will sure be a tough act to follow.
I’m surprised how fitting I find Newton. He’s from the babyface brigade, though. We’ll see what him being the romantic lead for the next Bridgerton season will do. Page and Bailey both got some solid Bond speculation out of that gig.
Oh, Yeah. I guess Omega is Bond as well.
Yeah, he's definitely a tough act to follow. But as always, EON do know how to find their way when the moment comes. I think the real Bond speculation might begin next year, though....script, writers, director, actors, Bond 7 himself, etc.
BondCapCon - Next Bond Actor Edition
Imagine many people were waiting to see the actual James Bond.....
Someone went out, people were excited, but......
Luke Newton? 😦
People were saying like: "Maybe, it's now him"
But again, shocked to see, it's.....Will Poulter??? 😨 People were disappointed.
People were no longer hoping for the real Bond star to come out, but wait!
DRUM ROLL!
There's another...... As the Bond theme begins to play......
After the Bond theme played.
People: Thanks, he finally came out, now that's James Bond!
Clearly one the most important traits for playing Bond is the power stance, as demonstrated by Daniel here. Other examples include:
A fine power stance. Magnificent stuff.
In full Bond mode too. Wonderful. And of course who can forget?
A nice variation on the Bondian power stance. Classic stuff.
No power stance from Newton and Poulter. Not even an attempt. I wouldn't bet on them for Bond.
Perhaps one of the requirements for a Bond actor should be making mundane stuff look weirdly cool... I'm actually not even fully joking. There's definitely an element of physicality to the role, and not just in the big stunts. Craig and Connery just looked so damn elegant onscreen even if they were walking across a room.
That might just be the closest definition we've come to, for the certain "something" a Bond actor needs to have:
He needs to make talking on the phone look like it's the coolest thing in the world.
Makes me wish I still had one of these phones and used it.
Or maybe not… 😉
Every suggestion here has people who don't like them... Dirisu isn't my pick either. He's just come up a lot here lately I think. There are more people here than you and me. ;)
Hopefully, not in my lifetime ;)
He plays a ruthless assassin in the film, but he just looks too young and innocent to be intimidating.
I can't see him being a leading man any time soon
And his youthful appearance is part of what makes him right for the part .He has increasingly grow into his looks and won’t be getting any younger. Hoult will be in his mid thirties when the next film gets rolling ; he will be a Bond entering his prime. Time will weather his features.
Not to say he's a bad pick, he could probably bring something interesting to the role.
Idris is really putting his back into it.
Was the cameraman (or woman) being electrocuted when that was filmed? Lawd, I hate this jerky cam nonsense with a passion.
Nothing in particular as such. I know he's on the Gossip Girl reboot show where he plays an American bisexual lothario. However, I would check out his film, The Invitation just to get an idea of how he sounds with a British accent and to see how charming and smooth he is with the ladies. That's all I have I'm afraid. Hope it helps.
Gangs of London is phenomenal. Recently watched season 2 which was great but season 1 was on a whole different level.
