    I want John Oliver as James Bond. That is the bond I would pay to see. Otherwise I am done after Daniel Craig. Well, maybe if they go with peppa pig I would take a look.

    He seems a bit too pretty and young to be in the role...?

    Are they trying to get a younger audience w this casting choice?

    Is this going to be a Bond origin story?

    Oh yeah, let's do that - shall we?

    I looked it up, he's 32. Same age as Sean Connery when he started. :async:

    I also looked up how old Bond is supposed to be, mid-late 30s seems to be the consensus. In Moonraker he says he's eight years away from a retirement, which is supposed to be at 45.

    It was the era of the prime alpha man - leather skinned, red meat chompin', booze swilling, cigarette hoovering MAN.

    And a woman knew how to take a good slap before a snog.

    Craig was 37 when filming Casino Royale. All the people complaining about mid 30s being too young are just getting old. :lol:

    Moore looked ancient and silly in Moonraker. Moore was in his 50s at that point.

    ATJ isn't a terrible fit, but he doesn't seem dark enough.

    I heard Tom Holland's name being batted around and that I absolutely can't see.

    Of course, I've no idea how the writers will make Bond in this iteration. But hopefully they'll revert to something closer to the Connery/Dalton/early Craig pattern, a harder, darker Bond.

    It would be better if a filmmaker of Nolan's quality was not tied down making franchise shite.

    You want to know how you can prove the Oscars are bullshit? Hugh Jackman didn't get the award for his performance in that film. Seriously outstanding work on his part.

    If Nolan thinks he can do something cool with making them as period pieces then it makes me interested in seeing the next Bond film.
