Interesting! While I have enjoyed the recent run of Craig era movies, I do hope he will keep his word this time and call it a day. I truly loved Casino Royale, but since then the freshness has faded and they seem increasingly keen to return to an older Bond style. I'd love to see someone else take the role, but if they do one last Craig film then yeah, you know Boyle can deliver something interesting to bow out with.Quote:

You're probably right. How about.... Chiwetel Ejiofor?Quote:

It didn't work and they did consider having James Brolin to play James Bond before the production of Octopussy as they even filmed auditions for Brolin. That didn't work either.Quote:

Aidan Turner.
If you've watched Poldark or Being Human then you know he has the right blend of class and intensity, and he's at an ideal age now where he's old enough to be a convincing veteran but still has another decade and a half's capability with action roles. Little-enough known that cinema audiences can primarily associate him with the role, but with enough TV work in the can that the press (in Britain at least) won't be all "who?". And obviously he's rather good looking.
Regarding Idris Elba - he may be too old for Bond now, but I'd love to see him cast as a fellow agent in the next film. I think he'd have great chemistry with Daniel Craig, in a similar manner to Sean Bean with Pierce Brosnan. Doesn't necessarily have to be a villainous role, but you know, someone on Bond's level.
I don’t think 50 would be too old, look how long Roger Moore went onQuote:

If they're willing to just sign Idris up for 2-3 films then sure, he'd work very well. Bear in mind though that he's only 5 years younger than Daniel Craig, which is 1-2 films at the current rate.
Yeah but Roger Moore did make Bond his own as he struggled to find his footing with the first 2 films but after The Spy Who Loved Me, he definitely found his approach in playing Bond and made it so fun to watch until A View to a Kill where it was clear he was getting too old.Quote:

ETA--Roger fuckin' Moore was the man. Even at 58 on his last Bond film.
Damn right. *Raises glass of scotch, and eyebrow, accordingly.*Quote:

I'd be very happy to have a tough young black Bond though. Perhaps there's someone else out there who can take that on?
Daniel Kaluuya? In a few years from now?
It is time for a black bond for sure. With all the new talent we have with young black actors these days, there are plenty of options. I would die to at least see one bond film with Elba fitting every niche for the role. I mean, we could see a standalone film with him like we did with Dalton (Wish we got more of him) but I would rather see multiple films. Daniel Kaluuya is a great choice I think, but I feel I need to see to him in some more movies before I make that decision.
I too would love to see Idris Elba as Bond, maybe in a few years. Kaluuya in a few years if not.
This film was a surprise to me. I thought Daniel Craig was done with Bond. Never say never, I guess.
He stated on Colbert several months ago that he would do one more film.Quote:

I'm intrigued. I generally really like her – especially in Fight Club! Her personification of Skynet in Terminator Salvation, maybe not so much, though I'd chalk that up to the script more than her performance.Quote:

Whatever that means. I wouldn't mind seeing Martin Campbell return.Quote:
