Latest news is that they want a Bond who is under 40 and at least 5ft 10 tall which rules out quite a few DL favourites.

Richard Madden

Hmm, Madden does not look like a Bond. They need someone more sophisticated. I also did not like Craig for the same reason. I hope they do not choose a black guy. Bond is white. Period. Start a new franchise if you want a black agent. It also bothers me that Captain America is black now. These are iconic characters and not interchangeable.

Craig is closer to what Ian Fleming wrote than the other Bonds.
[quote]It also bothers me that Captain America is black now.
Captain America has been many people in the comics, including Falcon, who has always been black. While stunt casting, like a black Superman, is ridiculous, the comics have a long history of people of various races holding the hero titles, including Miles Morales as Spiderman and John Stewart a black Green Lantern, as well as women who've assumed the titles of various characters.
A black Bond would make sense if the fan theory that "James Bond" is the name of anyone who assumes the role of 007, rather than an individual person, that was popular until the Craig Bond gave a lot more of his personal story and pretty much nullified that theory.

Have always considered most suggestions just a pack of old geezers. I wouldn’t be the least surprised if they’re looking for a James Bond under 30, not under 40. I big problem has been James Bond hasn’t been capturing the critical youth market (that’s why casting was told for No Time To Die that the villain needed to be someone younger.) They’re now looking towards (as Broccoli has said) a complete reinvention, beginning the new series with a callow Bond capable of making mistakes. The problem is finding an actor of that age with gravatas.

I've told you guys already.
Leo Suter. He's 28. Very handsome. Great bod. Can do cute and maybe humbled but also serious with gravitas. In real life he was a rower at Oxford. His late mother was made a Dame for her feminist business contributions. A nice and very smart guy. He's 6'2" and he's already played gay in Victoria and he looks great in a tux and naked. He's in some Viking show now - haven't seen it.
I sound like his agent and I will be expecting a cut of his Bond earnings.
He was a bit younger here.

Your failure of understanding is funny.
Bridgerton - the books or the show - is not intended to be historical fiction or even historically accurate. While I do agree that characters should remain true to how they were envisioned, it's more a function of character and motivation. It's rare that gender or race have no bearing on the inner life of a character. I don't know that I'd care one way or another about Bond being black or any other race while being a woman would make a huge difference.

I think there's two things that will work against Styles:
1. He's young and wants to do A LOT, including his music, so less easy to control 2. He's young and still a bit unstable, and enjoying playing round with gender-fuck, and that's the things you want for someone who is to represent Bond. Producers everywhere have been spooked by the Ezra Miller disaster, which means a movie costing $250 might need to be canned.

That Thomas Doherty is incredibly hot. I could see it working. And exactly the kind of younger, suave angle to reinvigorate the property I was kind of thinking of.
And young enough to commit to it a for a decade (through his 30s basically, by the time they start). And he looks like a grown man, while still being young.

Thomas Doherty is adored by Gen Z and that's the audience they want to attract. Bond doesn't need to be some craggy Craig type in his 50s. You would have called Roger Moore, Brosnan and Timothy Dalton twinks too.

Daniel Craig wasnt 50s when he started. Dohertys age isnt the issue. He doesnt have what it takes to play the Bond character.
Read the books. You need substance to be Bond. Charisma. Charm. Brooding. Tough. Rugged. Masculine. Seducing ladies but emotionally unavailable. Need more than just a handsome face (that was Brosnan's problem too, handsome but boring). Sorry, I know you really love him and Harry Styles I just dont agree he would make a good action movie star.

Contrary to what some of you may think, many of us are far closer in age to the men being considered. No "70 year old caftans" here. "Queens" though, yes.
Personally, I'm just ready for something different regarding Bond. Craig was great, but let's do something new. As well as the overall look and feel of the films themselves. I don't need everything to be hyper-realistic, dark, or gritty. I wouldn't mind seeing some stylization, more sex appeal, and a sense of humor about itself. I mean, it's never going to happen, but hey, why not...
And Brosnan wasn't boring at all. The films may have been a bit cheesier then, but they were a hell of a lot more fun. I thought he was a great Bond.

R149 😂 The post above mine says we're all a bunch of caftan-wearing 70 year olds. I said that some, if not most, of us are probably "closer in age to the men being considered"...as in, most of the men suggested in these threads are somewhere in their 30s, give or take a few years above or below that age range.
Thus, many of us grew up watching all the old Bond films, including, if not especially, the Brosnan films that came out when we were kids and teens.
I thought that was pretty self explanatory, no?

The RM movies had a sense of humor. A bit too cheeky at times. I thought the first DC movie was a great balance (skewered, one sympathizes)
But what appealed to me as a kid was the debonair Bond with his fancy spy gadgets. Throwing DC back in the retro Aston Martin was a great device for one movie, but doesn't keep me interested as a theme.
I am old enough to remember when the debate was just SC and RM. RM fit for the times, but he was no SC. I guess they can throw some girly little man in the mix to appease the current target audience. Whatever puts ass's in the seats.

Let’s face it, Daniel Craig is not all that attractive unless Michelin men are your thing. He’s also a rougher, harder-edged James Bond. The recent episodes weren’t too bad, but not great either.
At least the prior Bonds were “cheeky” and exhibited a bit more humor than the darker Daniel Craig episodes.
In a darker post-pandemic world, think it would be heavy to continue having a dark Daniel Craig-like James Bond.
Hopeful that the producers can find a Bond for a more balanced series.

There is NO way Hammer is in consideration. Even if he's rehabilitated, they've always been pretty adamant about Bond being British (or at least Commonwealth - Lazenby).
However, DL fav Jacob Elordi (AUS) has somehow started popping up on lists now that they're focusing on actors closer to 30 than 40 years old - I hope it's just wishful fangurl thinking and not real.
The popular frontrunner seems to be Rege Jean Page (Bridgerton). I don't see him in the role. His non-Bridgerton roles have not been particularly memorable.
Aidan Turner had been my top choice, but he's 39 right now, so may be too old based on the new casting criteria supposedly in place.
Henry Golding is not an action hero - see Snake Eyes. Also, while he does have a British father, I don't think that technically meets the Bond is a British actor requirement although Malaysia was a British colony, so that may be borderline acceptable.
Not Dornan. I like Jamie Dornan. He's hot, but not Bond.

Henry Golding is a stunning man and a good actor, but he hasn't proven himself enough in action films yet. However, the producers may disagree. They will want a true up and comer who has been a strong leading man in a few notable but not huge blockbuster things but isn't yet a standalone star. Lots of regency and historical fiction will not count for much - the producers have made it clear they want a modern Bond.
This rules out people like Rege Jean Page who was cute enough on his single season of the silly little Netflix regency romcom, but couldn't even carry a supporting role well in a mediocre high profile action film. Most damning, he had zero chemistry with ANA DE ARMAS, even, a woman who managed to eke out a lot of chemistry with 2 minutes of screen time in the last actual Bond film. It rules out people like Aidan Turner who isn't hot enough and James Norton; their years of toiling in PBS obscurity won't shore them up for Bond. It rules out guys like Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Thomas Doherty, both of whom are very good actors and the right age but haven't yet proven they can carry anything as the leading man.
In theory, Bond is an aspirational character: men want to be him and women want to sleep with him and everyone finds him a fascinating, bold loose canon with a strong heroic streak. A great many of the actors brought up in this thread are good looking and talented, but they just don't fit this picture.

Yeah, the definition of "twink" has changed somewhat. I used to mean young and youthful, slim, pretty waif-like. Now, it just means young and hot.

What proof was there Daniel Craig could carry a major mainstream blockbuster as a leading man before 2006?
What proof was there for Roger Moore before 1973 and Man with the Golden Gun?
What proof was there for Sean Connery before 1962 and Dr. No? Unless you count Darby O'Gill and the Little People. LOL!
The answer for all 3 is NONE.
Besides what I already mentioned, I like Suter because he isn't already identified with some other role and most importantly some other franchise. Or some other endeavor like a pop singer. All 3 - Connery, Moore and to a lesser extent Craig - were all catapulted into superstardom precisely because of the Bond role. Bond wasn't catapulted because of them.
We agree on James. He is completely wooden and his effort in the Divergent franchise failed - except for some remaining female fans. Plus male-female chemistry is important and the only one I've seen him have that chemistry with is that younger actress in Sanditon. Though a lot of the sexual tension between them was fighting and kind of a rough sparring.

Bond producer Michael Wilson said in an interview with Deadline that the next Bond will be "a thirty-something" actor.
"We’ve tried looking at younger people in the past but trying to visualise it doesn’t work," Wilson said.
"Remember, Bond’s already a veteran, he’s had some experience – he’s a person who has been through the wars, so to speak. He’s probably been in the SAS or something. He isn’t some kid out of high school that you can bring in and start off."

Even five minutes a bunch of Gen Z assistants sit around a virtual table of an online entertainment site and come up with the new Bond favourite according to 'sources'.
The list will be whatever the in thing is of the moment according to those Gen Z tastes.
It's why you get idiotic suggestions like Harry Styles.

Styles looks like a malnourished tree frog.

You know they're just making shit up at this point when Variety just had a list of potential Bonds and the list included EMILY BLUNT.

Madden would be a good choice but they might not want a tabloid celeb.

r246, are you kidding? That's great press for the franchise. But I think Madden is too short.

R247 Are we sure about that? Considering the markets Bond has to sell to, do they want someone with well established gay rumors, and a heavy predilection for twinks?

Well, if James Bond were gay, he’d definitely be into twinks.

I recall hearing Daniel Craig nailed the audition, plus had done a few dramatic roles already (Layer Cake, Some Voices). Im thinking they probably have a list of men in mind but they need to impress at the audition too.

All Daniel does is squint and purse his lips.

I guess they're looking at Aaron Taylor-Johnson
