When Craig is done and they find a new Bond, it should be someone in their early 30s, not someone's who's 45. Anyone come to mind that could fit that role? Henry Cavill would be my choice.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Of the actors who routinely get brought up, Aiden Turner might not be bad. His rise from TV star with Poldark to Bond is similar to Moore going from The Saint and Brosnan from Remington Steele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,045 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have no good suggestions myself Tom Hardy would have been great 5 years ago when Craig had said Skyfall would be his last, but now he's 40 himself We had a nice thread about replacements here: http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26160-who-should-be-the-next-bond/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Daniel Craig looked a bit Crypt Keeper-ish in the last one. And naturally they paired him with a broad that looked 1/3 his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,450 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Has any director walked-off of a Bond film, before? As much as I hate to say it, they might just go with second choice, when they were casting for CR. What's Sam Neill up to, these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Man from Uncle was great and Cavil did a great job in that movie. He was also great in Mission Impossible: Fallout so i think he would make a great Bond.

Cavill played a Bond-like spy in a film based on a 60's TV show that was created because of the Bond-mania at the time. That film bombed. I'm sure he's not high on EON's list to be the next James Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,318 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Licence To Kill - Bond seeks revenge after Felix Leiter is fed to a shark and left for dead and his new bride is murdered. Goldeneye - the villain turns out to be a former colleague and friend of Bond's. Tomorrow Never Dies - the villain's wife is a former lover of Bond's. The World Is Not Enough - in addition to stopping the nuclear threat, Bond must rescue a kidnapped M. Casino Royale - Bond is betrayed by the first woman he's ever properly fallen in love with. Quantum Of Solace - in addition to foiling Dominic Greene, Bond pursues those responsible for Vesper's death in the search for revenge/answers. Skyfall - as well as the film's final third being set at Bond's childhood home, his surrogate mother/son relationship with M plays a major part. Spectre - the villain turns out to be Bond's brother-through-adoption, who seems to do what he does because their father loved Bond more. Maybe, just maybe, what's needed in Bond 25 is a resting of the 'Bond has a personal stake in the story' thing. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The CGI parasurf was daft fun. That's not what makes it terrible. The script is just AWFUL, completely lacking any of the wit or fun of Goldeneye, TND, even TWINE in places. I actually think the fencing scene is worse than the CG stuff.
