So, which actors will be thirty-ish by 2026/2027? ;)

I think Thomas Doherty would be more mature then.

Don't know much about him but looking at pictures, he could fit the bill.

We don't even know the creative vision let alone who is the right fit for their direction.

True. It could end up being a direction and an actor nobody saw coming...or an actor social media attacks like Craig. But it doesn't stop us from imagining actors in the role, even if Barbara makes the final decision.

I think we should stop imagining who can do Bond. Maybe then EoN might start lol.

I've looked into possible actors for Q, and nah, that's also too difficult. I doubt I could even envision an actor as the next Power Ranger.

Maybe Andrew Garfield could play Q, if they want to continue in Whishaw's vein.

Yeah man, he's good. Age 40. I was looking into Paul Bettany, age 53. That's the other side of the age spectrum for Q.

Yeah, Good choice too....Paul Bettany, if they want to go Llewelyn's route.

Even if not actively developing the next incarnation, no doubt the powers that be at EoN are keeping an eye on , or out for, potential candidates ; they have from the very beginning of the franchise.

If the actor is good enough, he will always be the right fit.

Yes. I agree. Moore was seamless. I think he knew early, that trying to follow Connery's style would be a problem. I don't know how true it is that Moore was up for Bond before Connery was picked. But I can imagine if Terence Young launched the franchise with Moore, he (Moore) would have played it stoic like Connery, since it's a style Young wanted.

Connery was more like Clark Gable and Moore was like Cary Grant.

Spot on!

I've been reading up on a lot of the Hollywood Golden Age stars in recent weeks and this very same thought occurred to me.

Like Connery and Moore, they were both strongly identified with their upper-class urbane image (despite coming from working-class backgrounds), with Gable having a bit more of a macho edge to him compared to Grant, who was the ultimate gentleman with more farcical inclinations.

I'd quite like Toby Jones.

I've always thought Hugh Bonneville could make a good Q.

mtm · August 2024

Yeah I can see that. I could imagine him doing it in a few different ways.

Benny · August 2024

If you're looking for a new Q, then this thread will help...

The bookies have suspended betting on who is the next Bond, as they claim he's already been chosen. Read into that what you will....

All it means is that enough people have been convinced by the press’s bull**** that ATJ is the new Bond that the bookies are becoming nervous that they won’t be able to handle a payout if it turns out to be true. There is no reason to panic if ATJ isn’t your pick for 007.

Benny · August 2024

What a shock…it’s ATJ.
Must be a slow news day for the trashloids.

Venutius · August 2024

ATJ, including that new photo, and Theo James? They've just mined this thread, man.

QBranch · August 2024

They must've seen my ATJ fan poster and approved. It's all in the haircut!

Probably not unfortunately.

I think we'll get official word of a pre-production/director, and then a casting process. Then rumours upon rumours until an official actor. But you can't have a Bond actor without the project being officially announced (at least from what I understand. Take with a grain of salt/feel free to mock in hindsight if this isn't true).

Broccoli is prepping the Othello shoot, which is to shoot next year.
