Now, I'm a big Moore fan but you can't have him at number 1, then criticise Craig for looking old when Moore played the role at nearly 60.
Tom Hardy to be the new James Bond?

There were James Bond Jr rumors IIRC once upon a time. With Orlando Bloom being rumored of all people.

He would make a good Bond. But I can't help but chuckle at the idea that Venom is James Bond.

I don't know the only time i felt his age affected his films was in A View to a Kill.
Octopussy is my favorite Bond film and For Your Eyes Only is in my top 5.

Pierce Brosnan killed that UK citizen precedent.

Well how was I supposed to understand that without an emoji? If it's possible to read someone's words in a serious tone, I take them as serious.

He's my neighbour, we both live in Killiney, so that's why I put him first.

The Spy Who Loved Me, The Man With the Golden Gun, and Live and Let Die are my favourite Moore Bond movies.

This has convinced me. I'm on board.
I will always be bitter that Patrick McGoohan turned down the role. He would have been fucking awesome.

There are fire hydrants that tower over Tom Cruise, and he doesn't let it stop him from hanging off of airplanes and jumping motorcycle into canyons.

You're confusing him with Tom Holland

I'm not. Hardy, while still a manlet, doesn't possess spider sense.

I'll be honest I'd of thought someone closer too 6' ft would be a better option, plus Hardy is in his early 40s already, but at the same time, you're hard-pressed to find that many actors who are going to fit the bill, plus women legitimately love Hardy. I think the main problem they face is that albeit he can carry off the bruiser nature of Bond well enough (something Craig also excelled at tbh) I'm less sold on him pulling off the upper-middle-class without coming across like a bit of a fop as he did in Inception. Still we'll wait and see (assuming the talk is true). I dare say it will be a long while before we see a film regardless.
No lies detected. The Bond Navel-gazing and the retconning BS in both Skyfall & Spectre was pretty lamentable. With the former, at least the Cinematography was excellent as The Deakins was on board though and Javier Bardem was a scene-chewing villain, but the plot was utterly asinine. I legitimately hope they don't go down that route again.

I guess I've always been ageist. I don't want a guy that old starting out as Bond. Playing Bond for the last time or being halfway through his era, fine, but not starting out.

I wasn't serious. I do see your point though.
I can't think of any other actors, let alone young actors.
Maybe the spiderman fella from Avengers

I watched all the Craig Bond movies last weekend, it was fun. I do agree that CR is the best but they did okay with the cohesion and I don't hate them (nor the Pierce [
] movies) but can totally see why folk would be turned off of them. It's been a while since I've watched most of the classics, I need to change that.
I would love to see Hardy take a crack but I ain't gonna lie, Supes would be dope assfuck. I loved him in MI: Fallout even if a bit cheezy! After watching Tenet one of my first thoughts was how would a Nolan Bond turn out, would also love to see it happen.

Casino Royale is in my top 5 all time Bond movies. Quantum of Solace was pretty forgettable and a major letdown after Casino Royale. Skyfall I actually liked a lot (but nowhere near Casino Royale). SPECTRE was an outright mess which had me ready to move on from Craig. Definitely a disappointing run though on the whole since Casino Royale, which shockingly was 14 years ago.
I guess we'll see how the next one is. I'm not sold on Hardy, but there could be worse choices I'm sure.

You have this nailed down to a tee! Craig definitely wasn't the best pick for a new 007.

Skyfall is a horrible and stupid movie where people forgive it its flaws because it's pretty.
That said, I don't see Hardy as Bond (yet).

Oh christ no. Not saying he's not a good enough actor, he is, but he's too damn boyish looking. Let's see how he looks in 10-15 years.

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. Though you might wanna tellTesseract to edit his quote.
How is Tom Hardy not a citizen of the UK?
I didn't want to imply that but yeah he is, forgot to re-read myself before posting heh.
In any case, i wanted to say that Tom Hardy is not the best available pick, there is as good and younger actors that fit the profile like the ones i picked.
Also, even if Pierce Brosnan is Irish-American, i rather keep James Bond being played by someone from the other side of the pond.

Actually I'm joking around but whatever floats your boat.
No thank you. I really think theres like this Manedela effect convincing people hes a really great actor, he just isnt. He can do some things well, exaggerated characters like Bronson for example, but I would not believe hes Bond.
I would much rather they chose someone younger and less known.

Henry Cavill shouldve been the first options
Tom Hardy doesnt have the look and charm
Hes more suitable as james bond villain
Not to mentioned hes also short 5'7
Very bad decision
