Hey @peter , no not my picks, who would be your’s at the moment?
It's a condition I have called the Craig-Blocker.
Community members in towel with a fake gun aiming at a girl, what a lovely sight would that be 😆.
Still mine are:
1) Aidan Turner
2) Theo James
3) Richard Madden
4) Hugh Jackman
5) James D'Arcy
I think it was some combination of those guys, as well as Alex O'Laughlin and Julian McMahon.
Was McMahon seriously considered? I always understood only his fanbase and McMahon wanted McMahon.
Who knows? It was the likes of The Mirror reporting.
Wait, that article is from 2005, before Craig was cast. :P
I remember reading that in'05. Glad Craig got the role.
1. Luke Evans

2. Tom Hiddleston – I know, I know, not an ideal pick, but I have no issue seeing him as a Roger Moore type Bond.
3. Aidan Turner – He was alright in And Then There Were None. Poldark didn't leave much of an impression, but neither did the show itself.
4. Henry Cavill – One of a selected few actors I'd have no issue whatsoever being picked for Bond. IMO, the "safe choice".
5. *Insert suitable candidate here* – There's really no standout fifth candidate for me. Might as well mention David Gandy for his looks. To quote @talos7: Why not? Dan Stevens and Tom Hughes are the only other names I can think of at the moment. No other names mentioned on this thread interest me much, really.
The only worthy one of those. I was behind him as soon as I read he was considered.
2. Hoult
3. Claflin
4. Turner
yeah-- I can go with that, and the first two are the ones I placed as well. But still-- Craig... NTTD... I REALLY would like to see this swan-song before anyone is actually a serious contender.
I know who'd be at the bottom of my list (A. Turner and Hiddleston... (but between these two, Turner would kick Hiddleston in his thin-lipped grin)), I just don't have any clear favourites at the top.
No one has grabbed me-- perhaps like Craig grabbed a lot of us with LC-- and said, I'm the new Bond coz I'm cool, rugged, sexy, masculine and dangerous.
That's quite depressing to think of actually... I know A. Turner has a great physique, but leaves me cold in the cool, rugged and dangerous categories (and at times he flies a little bit into the melodrama theatrics of scowling and gritting of the jaw, squinting of the eyes..........).
Hiddleston: I'm just cold on. Period.
Hoult has charm, has the frame to be a savage, but rugged and dangerous...? I don't know. But I like him immensely.
Madden: has something. I can see him being rugged and cool with a sexy element... and he has the potential to be dangerous.
All my opinions. And, as I freely submit: until Craig is out of the picture, no one is a serious contender in my eyes.
For me he’s Australian, so it’s a ‘no’. But I understand why he was considered. Tall, dark, cool, can play suave, physically imposing.....he fits the mould. The Nip/ Tuck role showed women loved him too....or rather he suited that persona. Physically he is Bondian. Christian Troy was a suave, cold character.....who you could see converting into Fleming’s Bond. He’s a believable lady’s man.
Unlike some recent ‘candidates’ put forward on the forum.....
I understand where you're coming from, @peter, the hypotheticals are still just that while we still have the real deal with a film coming out soon!
“the real deal”
He’s delivered. And then some.
Carry on...
Yes, yes, yes.
So a new, original character.
Interesting...
I like the little flirtatious scene between Bond and the Ocean club receptionist.
I think it's nice as it is. Though a little more time with her wouldn't be the worst thing. ;)
Certainly would've given the film a more Connery, Lazenby, Moore tone. A Bond who'll bed any girl, whenever he wants.
Moving on...
Five submissions for Bond #7
1. Nicholas Hoult
2. Tom Hughes
3. Tom Hiddleston (though possibly nearing the too old stage)
4. Richard Madden (He's a little on the shorter side though)
5. Aidan Turner
lol, you know that's not what he was talking about.
😏
Yeah, it seems some men just want to watch the world burn.
Fortunately, we don't agree. Moving on ;)
I assumed it was a joke or a funny turn ;)
For Bond I disagree, for the wider cast, fine.
Feels like a strong possibility, yeah.
How does the game do that, just out of interest? I'm not a gamer but I've heard mixed things about it from a narrative point of view. It seems to be marmite.
