Taking look on all the options in here. I would also think Henry Cavill is the best choice as the next James Bond actor. Henry Cavill got very good looks and from thoese clips I could see him be very stylish as James Bond with his pistol, charisma in the poker table and ability to play with the ladies. Henry Cavill would so make good serious bond for the next decade. When he isent too old or too young either, when he just enetered his 40s.

Ageism is a sad thing in Hollywood. #Henrycavill is pretty much everyone's favorite. Tall ✔️ Swave ✔️ Intelligent ✔️ looks amazingly good in a suit ✔️ Trained in mix martial arts ✔️ Very strong ✔️ Dedicated to his roles ✔️ Smoldering good looks check ✔️ Fight scene in MI Fall Out should be entered into evidence. Daniel Craig was 38 when he took on the role of Bond but looked 48. Henry is 40 and looks 35. I could go on...😂

@rianmacdonald9454 10 ай бұрын

IN my view - Daniel Craig was the best bond by far. He had the look of an MI6 agent, a spy, a trained cold blooded killer, and that takes a toll on a person's mind - so the suttle looks, the aura around him in that role - he was the perfect Bond. Now that being said I can fully agree with your list regarding Henry Cavill, perfect superman, had the same character experiences and torment - case and point, the scene he had to kill Zod in - then watch him in The Witcher (loved that show, again he was brilliant in that) SO yeah - I agree with you, I think Henry would/could be a damn good bond. However, Daniel Craig played it so well, I honestly feel sorry for anyone who plays Bond after him - as Daniel set the standard for Bond. The early ones, Bond was more of a ladies man, boarder lining cheesy, Daniel Craig, took the role in a much much more serious and darker path (which you would expect for an MI6 agent).

I absolutely love Bond movies. But you never see once Connery or Moore being vulnerable. And when Lazenby was vulnerable, he wasn't hired again. Fassbender is much more suited to roles with emotional depth.

I also say Cavill; no, he isn't Sean Connery, but, the interesting thing about Cavill is he really looks like the Bond of the book covers from the 1950s. He's also a serious actor who can convincingly play various roles. As for Elba, yes, Bond should absolutely be white, but, interestingly, Elba might be the closest thing to Connery. Turner would be great if they made the Bond films period pieces set in the '50s and '60s when they were written. Keep the rest.

So refreshing to have a high profile Bond creator, like yourself advocate for Aidan Turner. You said it best. He checks ALL the boxes. His performance in “And Then There Were None” was like his Bond audition. And he has the essence of Sean Connery from his best Bond films. Thank you for bringing his name back into the discussion! Unfortunately, Turner himself seems to not want the fame and has made comments about “not being a fan” of the series and you know Barbie and Mikey G Wiz don’t take kindly to such things, but who knows! He turns 40 next month, so will that automatically take him out of the running? I’m with you, it would be a dream to have him become our next James Bond....thank you!

@jamesatkinsonja Жыл бұрын

I remember Clive Owen back in the day said he wasn't too keen on the hype around Bond and it wasn't for him [even though I still see comments saying he should be Bond]. Sam Neil said something similar last year [stating the 'screen test' he took part in was his agents idea]. Maybe the role just isn't for Turner and there's no shame in that as it's going to define your life going forward. I would presume 40+ is probably 'out of the running' given about the only think which has been said is wanting a Bond for '10 years'.

@damonappel Жыл бұрын

It occurred to me after watching this video that maybe that's why Eon is dragging their feet so hard. Maybe they've already made up their mind to cast a much younger Bond this time, and if they just wait a couple more years, they can use "age" as an excuse why they didn't go with the obvious one who most people want: Henry Cavill. 😢

You could use Idiris Elba as 008 (the agent M always threatens to re-assign Bonds missions to) in a 007 needs to rescue 008 plot. The cons of this idea is it could turn the movie into a Leathel Weapon buddy film but with British accents. A double 00 agent turned bad guy plot would be just another re-hash of Goldeneye and Skyfall.

If Cavil doesn’t get it then Richard Madden should be Bond.

But as far a Henrys age and physique, (which causes women to blush and thirst , and makes men hesitate a physical confrontation with Henry ) also he has unmatched fighting ability . and the man just looks good in a bespoke suit.

👍 Excellent overview of good actors. James Bond should always be: 1) A real Brit 2) A straight male 3) Middle aged (remember Bond was originally written as a WW2 Naval Commander operating as 007 in the early 1950s. 4) A suave, but tough personality (as in Connery, Brosnan, & Craig - remember he is a killer assassin) Any ACTOR who can display these characteristics would be suitable. I generally agree with your choices, particularly your suggestions on possible Bond villains.

* That's gotta be rough being the person who has to cast the role of Bond for a reboot. The actor would have to be at least 5'10", around 30 years old(give or take a year), have an athletic build like Daniel Craig, and they would have to look, at least, a little bit like Ian Fleming's original concept of Bond(although Daniel Craig proved that you can actually have a blonde Bond, and make it work), but I agree with you that Henry Cavill would've made a pretty good Bond. Unfortunately he and Aidan Turner are around 40 years old now. They might be willing to do 3 Bond films at best. If we manage to find an actor who is between 29-31, there would be enough time for them to do *"7"* Bond films(like Sean Connery and Roger Moore).

I loved your picks and Henry Cavill's also my number 1 choice for the rol, I think he's absolutely perfect for it! I also agree on Cillian Murphy being a great choice to play a Bond villain. PS: Great choice of Bond theme to end the video on, A View to a Kill by Duran Duran is the best theme there is (it still is the only Bond theme to reach number 1 in the charts)!

@Tvjunkieful12 9 ай бұрын

Skyfall won a Best original song Oscar. A view to a kill was number two in the UK charts, Paul Hardcastle with the song "19" held number 1. Adele and Skyfall had a similar faith, since "Don't you worry child" with the Swedish House Mafia prevented Skyfall from reaching the number one spot. Skyfall also reached number 2 on the Hot 100, only one down from Duran Duran's A view to a kill, but several places above the two other Bond theme Oscar winners, written and performed by Sam Smith and Billie Eilish respectively. Therefore, objectively speaking, Skyfall is the biggest Bond hit of all time.

I reckon the next Bond should be 35 or younger. Unless they pick up the production pace someone like Henry Cavill (as much as I'd like him) he'd be in his mid 40s by the time they cast and film a movie and would probably only be able to get at best three movies out of him. But then again Daniel Craig was in his late 30s when he became Bond and they managed to get 5 movies out of him

I remember when “fans” threw a fit when Craig got cast because of how he looked. Crazy how times don’t change.

@jamesatkinsonja 11 ай бұрын

Agreed. It seems virtually every casting decision now a days follows the same pattern: 'fan' anger when announced only for the actor [with a script tailored towards there strengths] to 'win everyone over' when they actually get to see the finished film.

I was disappointed when they cast Daniel… how wrong could I have been. Casino Royale was superb.

@TraceyJean 10 ай бұрын

I didn't pitch a fit when he was cast, figured I'd give him a chance. I went to see the first film and agreed with the fans throwing a fit. He is just not Bond material to me - too unattractive to be the suave, sexy agent. I guess Roger Moore is as unattractive as I'm willing to get and he was decent looking to me. I'll be back when they cast a new guy but I'm not watching anything with Daniel Craig.

Couldn’t agree more, Craig is nothing like Bond, he would make a good baddie. No time to die was on the other night, I watched a part of it as long as I could stomach it before giving up, I don’t know what it is, but it’s no Bond film.

I love Idris Elba. He is great. But I worry, him as Bond, would more just be him as him rather than him as Bond. He is very likeable naturally, but I also think age might be against him.

Cavil was born to play Bond!! He is perfect for the role just as he was perfect as Superman! Richard Madden and Taron Eggerton both would make brilliant bonds too I feel they have the looks as well as the exper of playing action roles! The way Bond looks is made when they get the part! I too was so pissed off when Craig got the role as I couldn’t see a blonde hair blue eyed bond but OMG did Craig slated the part!! He is actually my second favourite after Sean Connery! So either of Richard or Tarron could be brilliant if they say Cavilis too old ! Luke Evans would brilliant a Bond but if they go for that age group I’m still a cavil fan!

Henry Cavill is to todays audience what Pierce Brosnan was to 80 audiences. As for Idris Elba, while I think he’s a good actor, at his age he’d be better suited for M.

Henry Cavill is the obvious choice imo but I’d totally be happy with Aaron Taylor-Johnson after his Bullet Train performance

Richard Madden would be a great 007, especially having a Scottish accent and Bond being Scottish/British. One actor I hope to see on the list of potential bond-actors is Charlie Cox. He is British, he can go along with women and his acting is phenomenal. Especially the action-scenes like the ones in Daredevil.

Cavill, Elba, Madden. Elba may not look the part- but he's got the charisma and menace needed to be a legit double-0.

No not elba, we Asians are never gonna agree with your mindset, you can be obsessed with this diversity crap but James Bond we all know is a caucasian man and shall remain who he is, would you allow a white man play black panther? It has to remain fair from both sides not one sided. Grow UP!

@Mast3rHand989 7 ай бұрын

another great and underrated choice would be Brandon Sklenar, who played Spencer in the series 1923, for me an amazing actorial discovery (if you don't know him search on youtube the scene where he meet alex and you will be as persuaded as me).

No one mentions Tom Ellis who played Lucifer, but I think he would be great. Tall, handsome, fit and with a glimpse in his eyes. He can switch between charming and dangerous in a blink of the eye.

@teijaflink2226 4 ай бұрын

Henry Cavill just looks so much like a Bond, so charming and handsome. I kind of agree with you about Tom Hiddleston he's charming but he's kind of a scrawnier version of Daniel Graig. Idris Elba and Cillian Murphy I think would be amazing as Bond villains. Idris Elba perhaps as a new M or another agent.

@clausvergara9702 Жыл бұрын

For me, I personally think that Henry Cavill is a perfect choice for playing James Bond. He’s fit into it. My second, probably the controversial, is Scott Adkins. He can act, physically fits for the role and charming. Plus he is martial artist, that currently needs in the Bond franchise.

@johnbernhardtsen3008 11 ай бұрын

I dont like him, too stoik and wooden in his line delivery, but as Bond?!!! absolutly!thats probably Why he isnt going to be Bond!they killed the franchise with Phoebe Waller Bridges writing!its over with the masculine man!lol but its true!they could actually make two 00 agents, one is James Bond, agent 007, the other a person of colour or even gender!

In my opinion the next bond should either be Tom Hardy or Henry Cavill, for me tho I think Tom Hardy slightly has the edge as Henry Cavill was superman and really it would be a shock if he played superman and bond…however Tom hardy was venom and is the more older of the two so anything could happen. Who I’d like to see as bond is Henry Cavill tho just because it doesn’t matter if he played superman, because in my opinion I think he’s the best bond out of all the other names and would be excited if he got the role

There was a time I thought Clive Owen would be a great James Bond. He has the looks and played very well on many action movies, but today he's too old for the job. On the other end of the age spectrum is Jack Bannon (32), who also has the looks and played very well the leading role on the DC Comics series Pennyworth. I think James Bond role should always be played by a British actor. BTW, I mostly agree with your comments, approvals and disapproval.
