The New James Bond

Seems a bit juvenile but I don't think the new bond looks enough like the others to really fit properly. Acting aside, he just looks like an afterthought rather than someone who can properly carry the torch.

I hope to Zeus that it is Hugh Jackman, he is a sick actor.

Or perhaps...a female bond Could work...

He's not tough enough. It should've been Clive Owen from the beginning, but Daniel Craig is doing fine now, so he lost his chance probably, as he's getting too old.



I think Jon Hamm would be perfect for the role (if they make Bond a cigarette smoker again, that is). But they'll probably want a Brittish actor again...



Enough said.

I think Fassbender is a shoe-in when Craig calls it a day, but I'll also throw Rufus Sewell (too old perhaps), Jude Law (would need a syrup), and Benedict Cumberpatch (Sherlock obligations) into the proverbial martini glass.

Slated for November of next year, Daniel Craig returns (shocker) as Bond, going against Christoph Waltz's Ernst Stavro Blofeldesque baddie in Spectre.

I love when people come on with inside scoops they can't name sources on. They are ever so reliable.

It's a Bond film, so I'm always looking forward to that (and Christoph Waltz is going to be great as the villain), but I do hope they'll go with a different actor in Bond 25 (I did read Daniel Craig would do one other Bond film after this one, though). It's time for a change.

After four whole movies in nine years (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre), it's "time for a change"? Completely disagree. Especially now that they are introducing Spectre, why would they be looking to change Bonds?

Hopefully cinemaafficionado can give us more inside info?

Well, I just don't happen to think that Craig fits the part very well. Don't get me wrong, I think Craig is a more than capable actor and an awesome action star, but I just never truly accepted him as James Bond.

I realize I'm in the minority of course (as I said a year ago in this thread, the audience seems to love him) and the reason I think "it's time for a change" is completely subjective, but I just wish they'd go back a little more to the pure suavity of the first three Connery films, instead of focusing almost entirely on action-based setpieces or sudden plot-twists to gain the audience's attention. I think a new Bond is necessary to bring back that particular quality again to the series.

I understand that changing Bonds wouldn't particularly be a smart move objectively, as Craig's turn as Bond has been hugely succesful thus far both commercially and critically (except of course for the horrible Quantum of Solace), so I guess I'll have to wait for yet another five or ten years before a new kind of Bond surfaces who might bring back the qualities to the part that I think are very important and essential but unfortunately have been largely missing in most modern Bond films.

Clive Owen would be a great Bond, I never thought of him.

I could live with Bettany as Bond

Although I think Craig should be all right for Spectre, he was starting to look old in Skyfall. Although he's far off Roger Moore age, will he look too old for the film after Spectre? It's not so much whether he looks capable of action but seeing him with younger women will start to feel uncomfortable.

Richard Madden may be the next James Bond. The former Game of Thrones star is now in contention according to sources:

Think he would be really good to be fair.

I hope, if they go younger, they lean into that and tweak the character. More of a "how Bond became Bond" thing, as opposed to "we're going younger and everything else is the same."

The tricky thing is they kinda did that with Craig, but it was more "how Bond became Bond...emotionally." He was still kinda complete, as a Spy. This would have to be different.

In other words, make Bond Begins.

I miss Robb.

Is the rumours of James Bond being a woman next true?,

Hey guys, you may find this interesting and insightful. It's about the similarities between the James Bond series' early days and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Phases 1 - 3) concerning the build-up of a villain in the background and how the hero(es) battled him.
