Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

[Morrus]

::laughs in Tom Cruise::

He's making his last MI at 60-ish. And he's a freak of nature. I guarantee he won't be doing that at 70.

 

[Morrus]

I could see the Spider Man kid doing it.

I dunno. He's tiny!

 

[Morrus]

A a side thought, I'm hoping for a 60s period reboot.

 

[Alzrius]

I'm honestly not sure it matters, since the bad blood between Amazon and Barbara Broccoli seems to have placed Bond's future in limbo for the moment, which is bound to affect the issue of casting going forward.

I don't think it is a James Bond movie with a woman in the role. It might be a 007 film, but that's a different thing.

Personally I would love that they tke up 20 years or so after Bonds death with his daughter needing the help of the current 007 to deal with fallout of Bonds death.

. I wonder if his patience would run out faster than Craig's did.

IIRc, he only signed for the role on if he was killed in his last movie.

You mean like set it in the 2040s, in a futuristic kinda way?

I dunno... Nobody predicts the near future right. Ever! They always looks really dated really quickly.

Will Poulter.

I never really understood actors who did that. Like Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to die in RotJ (he didn't get his way that time, but he did in TFA). It's not like there's a law that if your character isn't dead, you can be forced against your will to play them again. Frogmarched to the studio and forced to sign up for another film. You can still stop, and new people can take over the role. Everybody else did it.

Richard Madden could be interesting.

Madden would be perfect, but word is they don't want to cast him because he's gay.

Yes, that is apparently still happening in 2025.
