Bodybuilding related because we are discussing Hollywood hunks. Apparently Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, some random called Rege-Jean page, Cillian Murphy and Idris Elba are all in the running.
I think it can only be Cavill. He's got it all going for him and he's still young. Hardy's too old now and not stylish enough. Cillian Murphy would have been great but he's also too old and maybe wouldn't pull off the persona quite as well. I'm fine with a Black Bond as long as he's not calling himself 'Jay-Bee' and holding his pistol sideways.
The last ones were a bit shit, anyway. Skyfall was a masterpiece but they just went downhill after that. I hope they stop trying to please everyone and go back to what made Craig's Bond so good.

Obviously…… B-hanks!

Adam Sandler

Thankfully, Broccoli has stated that it will be a man (whatever that now means; I'm not a biologist). The Bond franchise is worth so much that they can't really deviate far from the standard mold. They still need all the big sponsorships so they'll have to go with someone reasonably stylish. No one is going to buy the latest Omega if it's being modeled by Magic Johnson's son or Simon Pegg.

Should be cavill.
Maybe hunnam

I saw a movie last night “( the horde) I think it was called … guy name Paul Logan … thought randomly he would make a great James Bond!
-
I thought only James bonds from now on were darkie women only?

I think the final decision will come down to either Goodrum or Shizzo…

Goodrum with his elite military training and orange blazers, lol. I'd watch.
Wass goin' onnnn, errrbody. The name's Bond. Uni Bond. I'm here to fill yo crack!

A fat black lesbian.

A White, English Man!
Why? Because that was Fleming’s vision.
So……obviously; fuck that guy, and his useless vision!

Yeah, I know. I agree. But ... a man can dream. We have to live in hope. It was fucking brutal to see an emasculated Bond ask Ana de Armas to turn around while he got undressed.
They need to stop trying to reform the cold, antiquated and damaged Bond. That's the character. In Skyfall, they really nailed it. The research they put in was awesome. It's still probably one of my favourite scenes in cinema where Bond is running down the street as Tennyson's Ulysses is recited.
What we need is Cavill to enter and play a real psycho. Opening scene should be him mowing down a group of schoolkids in his DB7 as he relentlessly chases down and murders a female whistleblower. Tons of sex scenes, too. Full penetration.

For those that think a woman should have the role, it simply wouldn't be "James" Bond, race is one thing but gender is another.

Been saying this since I heard about The Witcher. There's no way he's not got the role. The guy is made for it. His brother is a colonel in the Royal Marines, he's got the textbook looks and style, he's young still - he could take the franchise to another level as long as they stop with all the family-friendly, modern Bond nonsense. I'm still optimistic.

Perfect new Bond...

Samuel L Jackson would be a new twist on the bond series. “Names Bond, James MFing Bond

Perfect new Bond...
There should be a scene where a drunk Cavill barebacks 'her' while on R&R in Thailand and suffers an HIV scare. We need to keep it true to real life. All this shagging and we've never once seen Bond squirming with embarrassment at the STD clinic while he waits to collect his post-exposure prophylaxis.

Lol, it would be the shortest film ever. James Blob would order a large vodka Martini - no vermouth, no olives, no ice. Twenty of them later and he waddles out of the bar and into his Aston Martin, which he then drives straight into a brick wall. Roll credits.
-
Whomever is chosen, he should be white, British and Henry Cavill. Cavill was fine as Napoleon Solo in the fairly recent Man from U.N.C.L.E. and is a handsome man with a decent build that would do well in the iconic role of Bond.
As Residue states, Hoagy Carmichael was considered what Bond should look like and there is a drawing out there done by creator Ian Fleming that shows Bond as being what he is expected to be.
* White
* Male
Anything woke would kill the franchise. I will NEVER see a Bond that is black, brown, yellow, red, queer, dyke, et al. As one of Q's staff once said (and I paraphrase), "It's good to have you back 007. Now we'll see plenty of violence and gratuitous sex"...
Cavil should be James Bond.

Bro.... Superman is DC not Marvel
Superman gave DC Universe the problem that's he's just too powerful a superhero compared to the rest of the DC superheros (Justice League) They found it hard to use the character in team ups because he just makes the rest irrelevant.
They are now just gonna focus on a young Superman storyline, I'm guessing separate from the Justice League stuff, so Cavill got the boot.
-
I'm sorry, gentleman.
But that is a horrible decision. Then again, In the Black Adam closing credits, We had Henry as Superman.

Who should be cast as the new James Bond?
"Art the Clown"...

that was the same historically with the Comics, people get bored if the character doesnt have an vulnerabilities
Batman is the most stupid character of all, its a man in a leather suit, one punch from Superman would have torn a hole straight through him

If I was a villain I would easily defeat Aquaman by just not going in the water.

He could swim up your toilet or come out of your shower.
Or instead of doing battle with you in the ensuite maybe he just waits for your wife who, let's be honest, maybe wouldn't mind so much. The dude has it going on. It's true. He does. Next thing you know you're raising a whole squad of half squid kids and wondering wtf. Ain't no supervillains got time for global domination when there's birthday parties at the aquarium and ink stains to clean out of the rug.
You can't defeat Aquaman's swimmers.

"Lucien Laviscount eyed as the next James Bond
Lucien Laviscount has emerged as a contender to be the next James Bond.
The 30-year-old star has caught the attention of 007 chief Barbara Broccoli for his performance as heart-throb Alfie in the Netflix series 'Emily in Paris'.
Lucien would fit the bill as Daniel Craig's replacement as the iconic spy after Broccoli said that she wanted to cast an actor who can play the role for the next 15 years. It is also thought that Bond bosses are keen for an ethnic-minority actor to play the character to ensure that the franchise reflects modern society."

James Bond isn't black, yellow, red, brown, homosexual, lesbian, tranny or any pervo combination thereof and anyone that does that to this classic British character deserves to die and go to Hell. And I hope they go bankrupt on their way to Hell.

Stopped watching Bond a while ago since the latest movies have been too woke
Sean Connery was the best Bond imo
Roger Moore made Bond his version with more humor
Lazenby/Pierce Brosnan/Timothy Dalton were ok
Was hoping Henry Cavill could become next Bond

This is what happens when spoil mayonnaise fucbois crying about Idris Elba to the point he says, "Hell no!", in which he would be a perfect Bond since Henry Cavil is hard to work with. Hire this WOKE dude and tank the franchise once and for all. Mission Impossible franchise is 100% better.

Will not be watching. Didn't even watch the last Bond film.
I watched it up till the point where he's in some Barbados type island and pulls some black bird from the club. Took her back to his place. I ended it right, there. Not even sure if they ended up shagging. It's not the fact that she's black. It's the fact that the script had to interject that in there for the sake of Mr Goldberg's idea of what modern romance should be.
If things weren't shoved down our throats: we'd be a lot more willing to accept things. Character development/back story of this woman prior to Bond deciding: I know - out of all the attractive women out there: I'm going to pop on a moped with some whore that could possibly be linked to local thug crime tourist robbery group. No thanks, Mr Goldberg.

I don't care what anyone says: Brosnan was the greatest Bond of all time. Sophisticated with handsome looks superior to any other bond. Roger Moore had to wear a fucking girdle and was 60 years old for that role.
Brosnan was the height of power, sophistication and fantasy. You could say Timothy Dalton before him did good but was too 'modern' for what a bond should be, imo. I loved Brosnan ever since that epic ending as an IRA hitman in The Long Good Friday.
I actually live in a house that Roger Moore used to live in in Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield back in the day. I looked for girdles in the attic but found nothing :( But seriously: the guy had taste.

Agree with that Remington Pierce was class!

Dolph Lundgren would have been cool as Bond, but anybody Nordic looking must be evil according to Trollywood.
Realistically... maybe Cavill.

Agreed. Guy was(/is) a sickkunt. Cool af, good looking, smooth....
I liked Dalton too and his movies..
Moore was a fucking joke. At least the Bond movies he was in - were. Tf is with those cheesy kids-cartoon-like sound effects? *boing* *pewwoooop* wtf ::)
I couldn't stand Craig in the first couple movies.. but I guess he grew on me / I got used to his ugly mug.
I think it was his first or second Bond film and I was like "wtf is this shit?! No Bond theme song all movie and the only car chase lasted for 5 seconds before he rolled his Aston like a shitkunt?! I'm done with Bond".

I watched it up till the point where he's in some Barbados type island and pulls some black bird from the club. Took her back to his place. I ended it right, there. Not even sure if they ended up shagging. It's not the fact that she's black. It's the fact that the script had to interject that in there for the sake of Mr Goldberg's Ms. Broccoli's idea of what modern romance should be.
If things weren't shoved down our throats: we'd be a lot more willing to accept things. Character development/back story of this woman prior to Bond deciding: I know - out of all the attractive women out there: I'm going to pop on a moped with some whore that could possibly be linked to local thug crime tourist robbery group. No thanks, Mr Goldberg Ms. Broccoli.

Bond films should be made along the lines of the Bourne movies
No stupid comedic one liners and gimmicks
Real fight scenes, the scene in the hotel room afer Daniel Craig had killed the two black guys in Casino Royale and he was downing whiskey and staring in the mirror trying to compose himself was a pretty realistic reaction to what had just happened.

Do we want Bond to be realistic though?
For many, Bond is all about Witty oneliners , Class and Gimmicks

Haha, that was the only realistic scene in the whole movie. They should have filmed him having a panic attack as he scrubs his penis with antibacterial soap in the morning.

LMAO. Imagine that. That'd be worth a Bond film alone. Brutal, yet true.

Casino Royale was Daniel Craig's best bond movie. And the best of the franchise IMO. It was not woke either. He was kicking and killing black ass all over the place. First the Parkour dude and then the black warlord / drug thug in the hotel stairway. And the ball torture scene was also not PC.
The scene in Miami where he prevents the plane from being destroyed was fantastic. The Parkour scene was also great. I liked the card-playing scenes also. Overall a perfect Bond movie.

Agreed. Guy was(/is) a sickkunt. Cool af, good looking, smooth....
I liked Dalton too and his movies..
Moore was a fucking joke. At least the Bond movies he was in - were. Tf is with those cheesy kids-cartoon-like sound effects? *boing* *pewwoooop* wtf ::)
I couldn't stand Craig in the first couple movies.. but I guess he grew on me / I got used to his ugly mug.
I think it was his first or second Bond film and I was like "wtf is this shit?! No Bond theme song all movie and the only car chase lasted for 5 seconds before he rolled his Aston like a shitkunt?! I'm done with Bond".
Oh and - hi Taff.
Craig's first Bond film, Casino Royale, was the best of the entire franchise. He was never able to match that performance in the subsequent films. But his other movies were still good. I did not care for his last movie.

agreed, it was also two stories in one
It could have ended where Bond had retired with Vespa but then she stole the money and it was all go again...

Stopped watching Bond a while ago since the latest movies have been too woke
Sean Connery was the best Bond imo
Roger Moore made Bond his version with more humor
Lazenby/Pierce Brosnan/Timothy Dalton were ok
Was hoping Henry Cavill could become next Bond
My favorites were Connery and Moore with Brosnan being pretty good as well. Didn't like Dalton and never saw the Lazenby film. My problem with Daniel Craig was that it was too woke and Bond was no longer a ladies man but more of a Simp which of course Hollywood loves. He also physically was short. blonde and stocky as opposed to tall,dark and handsome (no homo).
I get that Bond in the novels wasn't witty or funny with his one liners but for 40 years of film he was and changing to a serious guy with Dalton and Craig just ruined him. I think they just need to drop the Bond movies and we can enjoy the old movies for years to come.

That's exactly what they did become with the Daniel Craig ones and it made them just run of the mill action films rather than James Bond films.

The success of the franchise was launched by the American Brit-mania of the 60s and kept alive by the fact that people were basically starved for entertainment until the internet ripened.
They are the McDonald's of movies. Same every time, unremarkable, unsatisfying. I dare you to watch any of them from the 60s, 70s, or 80s and explain how it was so good it justified another. People paid and sat in movie theaters to stare at these plainly ridiculous wastes of celluloid.
I know. James Bond is a tradition and yada yada, but go watch one. You'll be so fucking bored. They suck.

You are right in the sense that it does follow a formula and they are not high art, or even middling art,
But conversely that is the franchise's greatest strength - McDonald's is a decent analogy and it's still going strong and highly profitable, if not exactly nourishing for the body and soul
Or put another way, it's like the quote from one of the AC/DC members when they are mocked for every album sounding the same : they are proud of it, saying it's like your favourite beer, you don't want it changing flavor every year, people like it how it is
The Bond movies work - at least for a lot of people, myself included - if understood on the basis of their intended premise: simple escapist sometimes ludicrous fun with hot girls and guns and action and locations e.g. The Spy Who Loved Me, Goldenye, augmented by a superficial self-mocking veneer of 'class' (nice suits and lame one liners) along with a now healthy reservoir of 60 years of goodwill and nostalgia.
And ultimately it's only a couple of hours every few years at the end of the day, so plenty of opportunity inbetween to delve into French noir films with 20 minute scenes of people staring broodily around dark corners (I've seen a few of those, see my username) and uttering deep pontifications on life's essential meaningless. That and WYHI threads on getbig
TLDR: You're kind of right and you may find them boring and not your cup of tea, but they are sugar hit films basically, nothing more or less, and infrequent enough that they don't wear out their welcome

After all those previous Bond chases, this feels like a nice countryside drive on a Sunday.

Considering how much this chase cost, it's truly stunning just how dull and danger-free it is.

This scene never feels like a chase. More like a glorified Aston Martin commercial.

I think Daniel Craig held the most James Bond records in malfunction/error gadgets...

This chase has always struck me as as a chase they'd try to pull on Top Gear, not a major Bond film.

There are more gadgets in a single Johnny English movie than all Bond movies with Daniel Craig combined.

I liked this movie more than most, but watching this makes me understand other people's views. A car chase should not be this calm. It comes off as a boring commercial.

If you ever watched any interviews with Brosnan, he always carries that "I'm sexy and I know it attitude" with him. But somehow it doesn't irritate in the least, it feels natural and honest - like it's just how it is. I think it's exactly that kind of energy he got selected for the role. No obligatory roided up upper torso scenes, no oiled biceps flexing. Just class and charisma.
2:09 "let's take the high way"
2:33 "alright keep your shirt on"

I really hope they do not turn this into, "My name be Bond...Lamez Bond".
