    It doesn't seem like his sort of thing at all though? I'd definitely be fascinated if it were him, but I'd be hugely surprised. Stranger things have happened though I guess, and The Sun aren't always terrible at showbiz news.
    Bear in mind even they are only saying that they might be talking, and that might be true but doesn't mean he'll end up agreeing to it.

    He did Widows which was effectively a heist/thriller, so I guess it’s not completely left field for him. He’d be an unusual choice but it’s in the realm of ‘stranger things have happened’ I agree.

    I thought he died in the early 80s?

    Different Steve McQueen. The one you’re thinking of was the “King of Cool” during the late 60s-early 70s. He might have been looked at for Bond at one point.

    There’s no news, like bad news.

    It doesn’t matter who we are. What matters is our plan.

    Let’s get on with it, then. Nothing could be as painful as listening to you talk.

    I could go on for awhile with this sadly. I’m sorry everyone, that my country is so stupid. EON and IFP, now is the time for James Bond. Bring him back, this world clearly needs him.

    Temporary escapism for most people.
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    If they hurry up they can release it before J D Vance becomes the next president.

    McQueen would certainly be a very left field choice, and agree it doesn't appear to be his thing, but it would certainly be interesting

    Funny how people who have films coming out at the moment often get linked to the next Bond film isn't it? ;)

    It’s a part of Bond keeping up with the times.

    Or is it PR people trying to promote a new film knowing that a Bond rumour always gets some column inches?

    Yeah. Love McQueen but this one really feels like...just this.

    Oh yeah, even if there's some truth in it (a big if by the way) it comes down it being a part of the rumour mill.

    Just hypothetically it's a very interesting 'what if' though. Just watched the trailer for his new movie Blitz, and the production design and cinematography look incredible. His projects have always had that going for them - that sense of style - and he's a director who makes some wonderful and often left field creative choices, which if channeled into a Bond film might be cool.

    He typically goes for some very serious subject matter - racism, sex addiction, injustice etc. But to be honest I think such a director making something like a Bond film could be very interesting as they bring some of their own interests into things, albeit while having to tell a very particular story. Again, Widows does that, and there's all kinds of stuff about crime and political corruption in a heist/thriller film. It's not dissimilar to Bond directors like Sam Mendes, Lewis Gilbert, Marc Forster and some of the films they made prior to Bond.

    He might be completely unsuitable or he could make a great Bond film. I don't know. But it makes sense to me. Great director though. Wasn't so keen on 12 Years, but I really enjoyed Shame and Widows.

    'Hunger' is well worth seeing. Though harrowing, it has great performances by Michael Fassbender and Liam Cunningham

    I've seen that one, but only once. Pretty heavy going but great as well.

    Steve McQueen to direct BOND 26? https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/31553112/steve-mcqueen-lined-up-new-james-bond-film/

    This would be tremendous! He is an excellent director and British. What more could you ask for?

    I hope that he’s really in consideration. McQueen is a wonderfully diverse, interesting and artistic choice.

    Hopefully they get James Coburn as James Bond.
