James Bond with a sonic screwdriver?
Who Is He?
The fact I heard a Tardis sound and started singing Doctor Who when I saw his pic tells you all you need to know.
Acting Resume?
The Doctor (Doctor Who), Barty Crouch Jr. (Harry Potter), DI Alec Hardy (Broadchurch), Peter Vincent (Fright Night), Kilgrave (Jessica Jones), Giacomo Casanova (Casanova), Prince Hamlet (Hamlet), Twigs (Tree Fu Tom)
Pro’s ?
The British public love him. He has lots of experience with special effects thanks to his stint as The Doctor and is winning us over to his serious side with his role in Broadchurch.
Con’s ?
Like one of the previous chocies, is David tough enough? I kinda see him as a more eccentric Q!
Final Thoughts?
I kinda have the same feeling towards David as Bond as I did about Benedict. Yes they are both really good actors, but I think ultimately it’s David’s lack of action roles that unfortunately let him down. Go away, get some action experience and come back in a few years and then yes you got my backing. Then again that’s what I thought when I heard the guy who played Casanova was cast as Doctor Who.
Jason Statham
The names Bond, James ******* Bond
Who Is He?
Tough cockney hardnut and former British diver, yes diver! If you don’t believe me, Wikipedia it 😉
Acting Resume?
Frank Martin (The Transporter), Chev Chelios (Crank), Frankenstien (Death Race),Deckard Shaw (Fast & Furious Franchise), Bacon (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Turkish (Snatch),
Pro’s ?
He’s as British as a fish and chip supper, well more like winkles and jellied eel and has the action experience required.
Con’s ?
Like Idris is he TOO hard and would he alienate some of the older fans?
Final Thoughts?
If they want to go with a James Bond that will appeal to the younger generation this is the way to go, but will he sacrifice some of the older more classical James Bond fans to appeal to the younger ones? Imagine a James Bond film with Statham as Bond and Michael Bay directing *shudders*.
Michael Fassbender
Would his Magneto powers interupt with his spy gadgets?
Who Is He?
German-Irish actor who has the the ability to control metallic objects and be awesome.
Acting Resume?
Magneto (Marvel Universe), Carl Jung (A Dangerous Mind), Brandon Sullivan (Shame), David (Prometheus), Edwin Epps (12 Years A Slave), Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Burke (Jonah Hex), Connor (Fish Tank), Bobby Sands (Hunger), Burton ‘Pat’ Christenson (Band Of Brothers)
Pro’s?
Other than Henry he’s a perfect choice and you know it.
Con’s?
Like Henry would his other work projects prevent him from dedicating the time that is required to playing Bond?
Final Thoughts?
Magneto? Steve Jobs? Carl Jung? James Bond? That would be one awesome resume that would be only rivalled by Ian McKellan. I reckon he’d be the ideal Bond but ultimately his commitment to his other roles would mean that now is not the right time for him and that makes me sad 😦
Aidan Turner
Would he be the first James Bond with long hair?
Who Is He?
Argh VAMPIRE *runs away*, wait a minute if he was a vampire how’d he have his picture taken? :S
Acting Resume?
Kili (The Hobbit Franchise), John Mitchell (Being Human), Ross Poldark (Poldark), Luke Garroway (The Mortal Instruments), Dante Rossetti (Desperate Romantics)
Pro’s?
He’d be the underdog Bond, you couldn’t help but root for him.
Con’s?
He’d be the underdog Bond, but do we need a James Bond we can relate too?
Final Toughts?
At first I was kinda like hmm really? But then sure why not, I mean he’s a good actor, he’s posh enough and he can do action. Does he have the typical James Bond mould, we have come to expect? No? Well maybe it’s time for a change and who better than Aidan?
Jamie Bell
Before you say no, just hear me out
Who Is He?
Former child actor who’s younger than me! Ir’s not fair *sulks*
Acting Resume?
Billy Elliot (Billy Elliot), Ben Grimm/Thing (Fantastic Four), Jimmy (King Kong), Griffen O’Connor (Jumper), Ralph ‘Iggy’ Ignatowski (Flags Of Our Fathers),
Pro’s?
He’s been in acting for a LONG time maybe even longer than some of the guys listed here but is one of the youngest choices. Also his action roles and getting more impressive with each film.
Con’s?
Well other than the reasons listed below, I gotta say only his lack of upper class roles. If you’re not sure about his action experience, watch Jumper!
Final Thoughts?
Before you say no just hear me out. Yeah he was Billy Elliot but that was years ago. I’m sure that some of the other people I’ve chosen have done similar stuff in thier past but we shouldn’t let the past hold you back. If you wan’t a James Bond for the next generation Jamie is the one. Picture this a James Bond who makes his own gadgets? Yeah I know that’s Q’s role but think about it! I think Jamie would be the perfect mix of a James Bond and Q.
——————————————————————————————————————–
So there we go, there’s a couple of people I think that could play the iconic one and only James Bond. Men want to be him, women wan’t to be with him, however finding a mix of both is quite tricky. Let’s hope they pick wisely.
Now as for Q in my eyes there can only be one man …… Mr Gadgetman himself!
PLEASE NOTE:- Since finishing this article I’ve also thought of another perfect James Bond and that’s Richard Armitage.
Who do you think would be a good Bond? Let me know now.
