Finn balor Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 So Danny Boyle is confirmed as the director for bond 25 that is due in cinemas in November 2019. Daniel Craig has confirmed this will be his last film. So realistically bond 26 won’t be out till 2021/22. A lot of the rumoured people like Idris Elba, tom Hardy, tom hiddleston etc will be in their forties so they won’t have much mileage for the role. What would people like to see in the next instalment of bond? I’d like to see a young actor playing him and base it on him in the army/ sas and how he made it to the secret service. You would need an actor between the age of 25-32 ish I reckon. I’m not one of those people that think it should be a British actor either. For the director I would go for Christopher Nolan as he uses minimal cgi and his sets are colossal. What would your choice be for bond and what would you like the plot to be about? Id like to see people like Nicholas hoult, Aaron Johnson- Taylor, Micheal b Jordan to be in the mix but I think Robert pattinson has been doing some great independent films. His acting has come on from doing twilight and wants to be a serious actor. He looks unconventially handsome like Daniel Craig and would give the role some darkness just not sure if he can do the comedy element Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Think we’ve had this discussion before. My call for Bond is James McAvoy, and I’d be very happy with Nolan directing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Connery (probably the finest Bond ever) played him at 53, age is just a number. Hiddleston would be my choice, The Night Manager was the perfect audition. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idris Elba is incredible. That being said, I really don't think making a misogynistic, womanizing, killing machine black is some monumental step in race relations. Not saying Bond can't or shouldn't be a minority, but I really don't think that it is much of a landmark for society nor is it some sort of advancement for the character. That being said, if Idris Elba is the best man for the job, of course I'm all in. Chach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I would go for Henry Cavill. I'm wondering what's happening with Daniel Craig? He isn'ttt doing many movies lately, if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be plenty of women spy characters, but James Bond is not one of them. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Nolan directing would likely have Tom Hardy as Bond. Nolan likes to use the same cast for his films. Would like to see Idris Elba play bond though. Few other British names not been mentioned yet who could be in the running : Clive Owen Damien Lewis Andrew Lincoln Benedict Cumberbatch Christian Bale Gerard Butler Ewan McGregor Jason Statham All of the above have had roles in action films, all british, some better than others mind, but all would make a decent bond in their own way. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Clive Owen, saw him first in a computer game (Privateer 2) cut scenes (come a long way from that) and absolutely loved Children of Men, The International, Inside Man, Closer, Croupier. He would be great if they went back to the more classy and spy like Bond (Pierce Brosnan) instead of the brute force bond of craig. Cumberbatch is a fantastic actor, just brilliant but he only makes sense if they go in a more eccentric Bond role. he's neither that debonair or a brute to make it work.

Bingo royale. Elba gets my vote.... There is an easy way around it, make a new character and have it in a "Shared Universe". Bond is 007, Sean Bean's character was 006. Why not have a female character in their own movie as 003 or something? In no way do I mean this replaces Bond, but runs along side the Bond films, maybe have a cross over film at some point. pete0, Matt and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately what will happen is the womens rights movements will question as to why the female 003 actress doesn't get paid as much as 007.... despite only doing a third of the hours filming. The movement will be called "premium bond" aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
