That means Bond 26 won't come out before 2028. :D
Now i am pretty sure @Denbigh work for callum. He has been secretly assigned to promote him wherever possible so one day Barbara sees him as potential candidate :P
Yeah it's not been one I've quite seen, but he does dominate Peaky Blinders in a very cool way and women do like him, so I wouldn't say he's wrong for it at all.
He's 44, sadly. Which will work against him....however, I totally agree. He would bring a real darkness to Bond. Something tormented and broken. But also he's just so damn cool as Tommy Shelby. That role was a huge departure for him as well. He wasn't really known as an iconic swaggering leading man before it. So it just goes to show how talented he is.
So menacing, yet so sexy.
He's actually rather short as well at 5′ 9″ - which gives me hope that Jack O'Connell might still bag the role. Tommy Shelby does not seem like a small man.
Hey, the picture is the first one you get when you google the guy. Whatcanyado?
Evans is the only non-Bond actor I've pictured when reading Bond novels. Easily my favourite for the role, but shame about the age.
Also had anyone considered Luke Pasqualino?
Absolutely. If only they'd drop this "young hero" fashion thing Hollywood has going on since 2005's Batman... And started doing Bond films with a seasoned agent. Three films per actor. I'd be fine with that. Standalone adventures on a single geography and culture, with a single very well defined theme. Bond as lone agent sent to investigate. Oh, one can dream.
...although I do think what they've been exploring will come into play as from Skyfall to No Time to Die (it seems) we have the whole seasoned agent thing being tested narratively and thematically, so I don't know if they'll want do it again - even if a bit differently.
Completely agree. I have little interest watching a "becoming Bond" type film (or films). Give us a Bond in his prime from film number one, I'd say.
+1.
Ah, I didn't realise. Shame.
Connery was 32 when he started. I've not seen anyone complain he was too young.
I wasn't sure on Evans until I saw him in No One Lives. He, quite literally, killed it there. Absolutely believable as a charming killer. A cool, calculating posterior masking a ticking timebomb underneath. He'd be great.
I think he meant in the context of the story, not so much the actor's ages. And in that respect Connery was playing Bond as a seasoned agent. It wasn't his first rodeo.
Ah okay, I need to see that then. I've not seen be good in anything yet but if he's good in that then fair enough.
Oh okay when he said 'young hero' I thought he was talking about age. I don't think we're ever likely to get a totally green Bond because he has to be fairly experienced to get to double-o level.
Really? I've always thought he was pretty good in most things. Maybe in need of a new agent to help pick better projects, for sure - there's not too many, if any, films on his resumé that one could label as excellent - but rarely bad himself. But anyway, yes, I liked him very much in that film in particular. The film itself was nothing to write home about - some weird and wonderful sequences aside. It leans heavily into its schlocky slasher horror inspirations. If that type of thing is your type of thing, you might get some primal enjoyment out of it.
Yes, I certainly think they'll try and show a "new side" to the character with every iteration, and the next will be no different. It likely won't be as radical as Craig, but it'll still be present throughout the films so audiences can develop an attachment with that particular actor.
He sings? I didn't know that!
