I believe there is actually a black Spider-Man currently in comics. The catch? It's not Peter Parker!! It's a whole new guy!
He's a Mexican-African American homosexual spiderman, and it makes me sick. Haha
(I'm not homophobic, its just... why?)
There's just no point to switch up the character.
Tom Hiddlestone has got stupid smile for a spy character let alone Bond. He doesn't seem to carry that charm a better than average spy carries.
Painting two different eras with the same brush is plain stupidy. I'm pretty sure most of you guys just like 80% Bond fans across the world disapproved of Daniel Craig as a Bond.
Love it :D
Glad that you agreed and you're the first one who did!
Sorry to spoil your argument, but I love Craig as Bond. I've spent many days defending Quantum of Solace to people who fail to cherish the good things about the film.
Its just, I want a smoother Bond, one that doesn't rely so much on his physicality and brute force, but uses wit and intelligence to defeat the villains. That's why we like Connery, he could hold up in a fight, but still used other methods of taking out his baddies.
I like Tom Hiddelston because he's an amazing actor, resembles Fleming's Bond, and pulls off 'intelligence' well.
I still don't see it.
But Loki balances between good and evil. He's brothers with Thor, and really he only stirs up trouble through jealousy of his father and his brother. Its the classic younger brother situation. Thor constantly tries to save him and stop him from doing what he does because he can see the good in Loki. In a way, Loki is supposed to be not-so-menacing.
(in not particular order)
Tom Hiddleston
Michael Fassbender
Tim Roth
Jason Isaacs
Kevin Spacey
Cillian Murphy
Viggo Mortensen
That was a great moment!
I have to admit that I do find the whole "black Bond" debate rather tedious as there's very little need or justification in changing such a winning formula, especially one that already has an established and built-in demographic. Would Harry Potter or Superman have benefited from a change in ethnicity just for the sake of being different or politically correct, or would it have only upset both if not all communities as superficial tokenism? There's no doubt that Idris Elbra is a talented actor, but that doesn't make him anymore suitable for 007 than say Tahar Rahim or Jimi Mistry. My point is keep Bond as he is, in honour of Fleming and 50 years of celebrated movie successes.
That's my say on the matter.
Couldn't decide which was funnier, this or the straight left on Thor.....
So the guy is in his early 30s and already acts like that? Well, then he´s got a great career ahead of him. If Eon want him they probably already screen-tested him secretly.
Those two Hulk moments had me in tears, they were so funny.
But talking about Sean Connery, even I love his work, but the thing is, he was a perfect Bond for the cold-war era. Today, there's no cold war. It's all about fighting terrorists today, and Sean Connery feels weak against a big terrorist network. So you do need a brutal and reckless Bond like DC is. Even Fleming would not root for Sean Connery or someone like him today. But still, I can imagine Hugh Jackman pulling it off as Bond.
Poof
:))
My vote goes to either Micheal Fassbender (yep I've changed my mind about him), or Idris Elbra.
He will soon be 40 years old and would likely be a tough Bond like Craig, minus the emotional drivel we have to endure. The movies would likely be more OTT and less serious, but not overloaded with comical moments.
With a wig:
He is, too me, just the perfect second lead or friend or whatever, but he ain't leading man material IMO - and not handsome in a classical way or - as DC - in a craggy manly way.
The dude is 44 and I don't think he would be a good Bond. I'm tempted to say he could to well as another agent, but he's too famous and would really stick out
Statham could've done it when he was younger. But he's a bit old now.

Ah. Then yeah I think he could do it. He's not the best actor but he's good at one liners and action.
Actually I went back and looked harder and way more sources say 1972 than 1967 so it appears you're right- my apologies!
