Quintus 5,399 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Pretty unimaginative choice if you ask me, but I'm not arsed either way. When you look at the kid they got to play the lead in Dune, and the offbeat look they went for there, that's a much more inspired kind of casting for a big role IMO.

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hardy has a similar quality to Craig - both decent-looking men with a slight rough edge to them.

Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Until EON says it's so, then it ain't so. Hardy's 43, likely at least 45 by the time his debut Bond would be released ... admittedly Moore was 45 on his debut, but the role's a lot more physical than it used to be. I doubt this story, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Clickbait garbage. Every British rag comes out with a scoop about the next Bond or Doctor annually and they’re never right. The bullshit Christopher Nolan speculation just adds to the article’s odiousness. Hardy’s name has been tossed around for over a decade, along with Clive Owen and Idris Elba. I won’t believe a word until the next film is in development, which is likely years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 He does tend to play the villain, but I think that's the range of his acting ability to take on those roles, and besides, villains are usually the more interesting characters. I think given the right direction, story etc. he would make a great Bond and in five years time we'll be looking back thinking why JWFan hated the idea in the first place. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oomoog the Ecstatic 314 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Casino Royale was my fav because I like Craig's character so much and the added atmosphere of the script and its setting. I watched Skyfall and didn't get it: Bond should've been hospitalized because he can't function and the script was confusing? Can someone who likes the movie explain. Maybe I need to rewatch.

I didn't find Skyfall confusing at all (and I lose plots easily) but the story does fall apart logically if you think about it for 5 minutes. It's a different beast to QoS, which is just flat out confusing. No idea what's going on in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I think Richard Madden would be great as the next bond, having seen him in Bodyguard. Also he’s young enough so he can play bond for like 15 years if that’s what the producers want. He’s well known but not as known as Hardy Elba Hiddleston Cavill etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
