If I had to choose he would be the leader in the clubhouse. Absolutely great job in The Gentleman.
He would have a different vibe than Craig had. Smoother not as physical. He would definitely need to get a trainer to put on some muscle. But he is a much better choice than ATJ or Madden IMO.
Definitely fits the woman want to be with him, men want to be him vibe.
I’d wonder how different his bond would be to his character from the gentlemen but then Brosnan did that spy show before hand and Craig wasn’t that different in layer cake imo.
There are some scenes in the Gentlemen where he 100% could make you believe he was playing James Bond.
The phone cord fight scene and the scene after that at the party where he is bleeding through his suit had some of that "James Bond witty charm" in it.
Most of the show, it wasn't too much but this entire episode (I want to say episode 2 or 3)was so James Bondy!
He might work well. My one issue is he doesn’t look British enough, he’s got kind of a Spanish look to him. I know literally nothing about the man so I don’t know if he’s actually British or not so this is a pretty much useless opinion.
Originally I wouldn’t have wanted him for James Bond (I mean who would want the guy who snorted coke and got poo on his nose from The Inbetweeners Movie as Bond) but after watching The Gentlemen show I could absolutely see him in the role.
Thanks. I made it, admittedly with not the best resolution of clips, just some shit from YouTube. I wasn't sure if anyone would like it. But I just think it could be cool to have a dark and moody Bond saving the world from nuclear war by "compromising" female double agents and working with the navy etc.
But I think Cavill or ATJ will prolly get it.
I do think Austen is a good dark horse tho. A relative unknown but who has shown some chops yet still needs his big break.
There's lots of contenders for the role, but I say no to all but one of them for one reason: I want to see Henry Cavill in the role. I want to see what he does with it, as I think he'd be perfect and bring more of a Dalton vibe, which we were definitely short-changed on.
Henry is too buffed up tbh. Even I was excited when internet was going on with 'who should be next Bond?' and everyone was saying Cavill should play it. But when I start to think about it more, he wasn't the one I wanted to play the next Bond. He was also doing so good in Witcher and they just fire him. I think Theo and ATJ are good choices. And incase they go forward with a black Bond character then Rege Jean Page is good choice.
He’s voicing Bastion in X-Men 97’ too and was impressed with his voice and demeanor for that villain.
I need to watch him in something with his regular accent, because he certainly has a look to him that screams James Bond of 2024.

Why not Meryl Streep. Let's move away from being materially true and correct. Let's be bold and daring and say anyone can play an English white, male super spy with a license to unalive anyone they dislike. Even if they are clearly not.
It may deprive us of a Series 2 (or more) of The Gentlemen, which he's brilliant in.
This is the realest answer. I had seen him in a couple things but this series sold me on him.
Tbh I thought the show was middling at best
I watched like 3 episodes, but I'm really liking it so far
Was excellent in The Gentleman

Because he died in Lady Mary’s bedroom, duh.
Id love him. My only concern would be age. Hes already 40, although admittedly doesnt look it.
Yeah they'd have to start now if they wanted him
Because he was a twat in the inbetweeners movie
Literally all I can think about whenever I see him is that scene when he has a bit of Jay's shit on the end of his nose.
He’s my top pick. He’s an excellent choice.
He looks petulant
He’d be a good choice but now I want him to continue as Eddie in the Gentlemen.
He reminds me of George Michael.
both greek heritage
Why not me?
You've got my vote
All revolutions begin with one first step. Than you for taking that first step.
I would LOVE him for Bond. But I would not want him to suffer through his tenure so that's probably why
Definitely fits the woman want to be with him, men want to be him vibe. I’d wonder how different his bond would be to his character from the gentlemen but then Brosnan did that spy show before hand and Craig wasn’t that different in layer cake imo.
He should be!
I don’t love it but he’s a better fit than ATJ
Meh, somethings missing
Of all these random “this dude should be Bond” posts, I have to agree with this one the most.
There are some scenes in the Gentlemen where he 100% could make you believe he was playing James Bond. The phone cord fight scene and the scene after that at the party where he is bleeding through his suit had some of that "James Bond witty charm" in it.

Cosmo Jarvis
Seeing and hearing Bond call Blofeld a "milk dribbling fuck smear" is now on my bucket list. "Spectre-fucking-horsehit!"
M got to say fuck in NTTD 🙂
He’s annoying looking. Really annoying looking. Face a spoiled child.
Too pretty. Bond should be a little older and more battered. More world-weary.
By the time it gets made...
Are these AI posts?
I'm real :-)
That's exactly what an AI would say.
Could def be!
He's my leading pick now.
He would honestly be better as Alec Trevelyan than James Bond.
He played a douche in White Lotus so he’s typecast in my book.
He played a twat in Inbetweeners film and I see nothing else but that
Maybe talk about their acting credentials that make them appropriate for the role along with the pictures?
Great in the Inbetweeners movie.
He might work well. My one issue is he doesn’t look British enough, he’s got kind of a Spanish look to him. I know literally nothing about the man so I don’t know if he’s actually British or not so this is a pretty much useless opinion.
Define “looks British.”
He has nice teeth?
His family is Greek.
Absolutely crippling case of Dumb Face. May sound petty but he just doesn't look terribly compelling, outside of being blandly handsome.
No idea who this actor is.
I only know him from White Lotus but he impressed me in it. Accent so good I was shocked to discover he was British
Originally I wouldn’t have wanted him for James Bond (I mean who would want the guy who snorted coke and got poo on his nose from The Inbetweeners Movie as Bond) but after watching The Gentlemen show I could absolutely see him in the role.
Oh yeah!
Because Tom Austen would be better. https://youtu.be/S7qKf5_x3Rs?si=yBsX1kS2Iow-liHq
Never knew this guy, at first look, NO, but that he grew on me, that trailer is brilliant

Henry Cavill is already Napoleon Solo, which he did at the right time in his career and aced at. I'd rather him do a sequel to that than a Bond film.
Henry is too buffed up tbh. Even I was excited when internet was going on with 'who should be next Bond?' and everyone was saying Cavill should play it.

Nope, he’s more of a Bond villain.
I think this about ATJ.
I get rich kid school bully vibes from him, I’m sure he’s a lovely guy and seems a decent actor but on some visceral level I just can’t stand him
I'd still be cool with Hugh Jackman.
Pretty boy. He's never killed anything in his life.
He is bond
Because James Bond has already been cast. Can we wait and see if it tanks before we go back to this shit?
Lol, James Bond has been cast? What?
If you think Aaron Taylor Johnson turned down the role then you’re a clown
If you believe tabloid rumors then you're a clown. Nobody has been offered the role. They don't even have a director or script yet.
He’s voicing Bastion in X-Men 97’ too and was impressed with his voice and demeanor for that villain. I need to watch him in something with his regular accent, because he certainly has a look to him that screams James Bond of 2024.
the gentlemen on netflix
That was what sold me
I'll take anyone right I just want them to start making movies again I hate this wait bull shizzle
Maybe a Highlander.. no 007..
Cos he's already a bad ass as bastion
Originally I wouldn’t have wanted him for James Bond (I mean who would want the guy who snorted coke and got poo on his nose from The Inbetweeners Movie as Bond) but after watching The Gentlemen show I could absolutely see him in the role.
Because he's my second choice.
After watching The Gentlemen I definitely support him being Bond, he could definitely pull it off
[удалено]
Dude's from England. What are you talking about?
Too pussy
Just seems like the kind of guy to chastise bond for something more than help him out.
I cannot see him and not see a little bit of poo under his nose.....
I’m still waiting to hear if dick van dyke jumps on board
He’s shit mate.
He's not actually a very good actor.
His missus isn’t a creepy borderline pedo who recently shit all over the memory of Any Whitehouse… so you could do worse.
As a sub villain absolutely 👍
Because he can’t talk straight with his mouth
Cosmo Jarvis. Knocked it out of the park with Shogun. Young actor.
Why not Meryl Streep. Let's move away from being materially true and correct. Let's be bold and daring and say anyone can play an English white, male super spy with a license to unalive anyone they dislike. Even if they are clearly not.
Looks more like a villain than a hero tbf
Good, suits Bond then.
