Too young I think.
Sadly, I'm not too excited for B26 either.
Even worse, say we get another 6 year gap,(depending on the approach the next film takes), I can envision skipping it in cinemas and renting it from Redbox a few months later.
Never thought I'd feel that about Bond, but TBH very few films get me excited enough to catch them in the cinema. Often when I do see them later, I'm glad I had saved my money and fuel.
It's weird. Just about everyone I know personally skipped NTTD in the cinema. I myself never saw any of the latest STAR WARS films and only a small handful of the Marvel and DC movies in the cinema. I used to be a huge Superman fan, for instance.
And I'd seen all the previous Star Wars films during their releases.
I still love Bond, but if there's too long a wait or the film either steers too far from seeming like a Bond film, I may just watch it on Blu-ray.
Damn...if there's too long a gap I might not even be around for it regardless.
Also with Bond #7 needing to be under 40 and willing to sign up for a decade, then I think we’re looking at actors in their mid to late 20’s at present.
Few more years of acting experience under his belt. He could be primed to take the role in 2025
He’s too youthful, and will be in the future, similar to Turner.
With how long Bond 26 is going to take to produce even the actors were suggesting now might be aged out and how do you judge twenty-year-old on whether they'll be a good Bond in x-number of years. It's an impossible game.
I jest of course ;)! He's a good actor but maybe I do see too much of King Charles in him thanks to The Crown. However, he's only 32 which seems to put him in a good age range given the articles that come out over the last few days.
As an added bonus, he could also sing the theme tune @NickTwentyTwo ;)
Sounds more like he'd be suitable to play Q :D
Olivia Wilde could be the Bond girl! Chris Pine the villain?
I actually think West could have been a great Bond. In an alternate universe he is one of the few, with James Purefoy and Jason Isaacs, I could have imagined him instead of Craig. I still think they went for the best choice, mind you, but I would have taken Dominic West over Clive Owen or that guy from Avatar in a heartbeat.
:D :D
I think he basically plays a 007-style character in The Tuxedo..?
Yes, he does. He was very debonair in it.
That said, I'm always sceptical of considering actors who have played Bond-esque roles that are essentially meant to be parodies, or even if played straight draw heavily upon the popular culture depiction of a 'James Bond type spy'. Any actor approaching the role of Bond has to do something different with it, all while still recognisably embodying the character. In that sense the only thing the producers had to go with Issacs was an impression of Bond, not a role in which his potential to play the character was authentically showcased. Hence, I can very much see why he wasn't considered.
I think there's a chance that he wouldn't have been up for it- his career has always seemed like he goes for the more interesting stuff.
