It's amazing how much enjoyment you can get when you actually give things a chance and go in with an open mind.

Like Into Darkness ? :neverusethis: :vomitard:

It was actually pounds, so that's insane. He said he didn't want to return after Spectre, so this isn't a surprise.

He said that 2 years filming a Bond movie is utterly draining.

So, how long before they cast a new Bond?

Henry Cavill is a good actor, but he doesn't quite feel like Bond to me. Then again, I haven't seen Man From UNCLE yet.

Cumberbatch.

Maybe but I think he's also too scrawny. He could bulk up I guess. He had to for Khan.

I don't think Bond needs to be STACKED. Hiddlestone for example would be absolutely fine in that regard.

That's a really cool pic of Cumberbatch. Very Bond-y.

I'm back and forth on the whole Idris Elba as Bond thing. I used to be all for it, then I wasn't sure, then I was for it again. I don't know. I love the guy as an actor, but right now I just can't decide.

Agree 100% . I think he would be great. and fuck anyone that can not get over that.

I think Cumberbatch would be a good choice, but his schedule will not permit a 2 year shooting schedule especially since he is signed for Infinity Wars.

He's black and getting a bit too old for the role. Not a fan of token race/gender changes in general that won't add/improve anything to the story. If possible, they should try to stick with casts and mood as close to the source as possible, and now that the Craig version has become the closest to what appears to be the original Flemming version of the character, I would like them to stick to that. Ultimately, I don't care, it's just a slight preference that I have.

Oh, Idris Elba is amazing, it's just on principle that I prefer such changes to not take place. Usually they are just made for reasons that do not benefit the end product. Either way, it would be Bond and I will watch it.

If by any chance he gets the role (i don't think his schedule will permit it regardless) then they MUST cast Ruth Wilson as the bond girl / villain :D

 Again thanks for the reply. Again I appreciate where you are coming from. All my point was is I think he could do the part well, as Bond. race aside.

I was thinking rather than Wilson that Betty White could do. Just sayin

That's my view too. Bond is too iconic of a character to just mess with for the sake of messing with it.

Yeah I've never liked the idea of changing a character's ethnicity just to appeal to the mass audience. I think legacy is sacred and by messing with it, you piss off a lot of people.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a big iconic role led by a black actor, but it pisses me off if they have to take a "white role" and change it. Movies like Black Panther is a step in the right direction because that is a "black role" and it's a great one, and I'm sure it will be a really good movie as well. I don't think there's anything weird with wanting certain roles to remain somewhat the same. Could you imagine the outcry if they made a new Shaft movie and cast a white guy as Shaft? There needs to be more big roles for not just black people, but also other minorities (like Asians) but to me, changing an existing "white role" and shove in a minority is not gonna solve that problem, and if anything it's only gonna cause more turbulence.

If they came out tomorrow and said that Idris Elba was the new Bond though, I would be fine with it. He's a really good actor and I think he has the chops to pull it off. But they could just as easily make a great original spy movie and cast Elba and create a world of their own, and it could work just as well.

The thing is - if you made a Black Bond - people would be mostly upset you changed the character from tradition or what was in the source material.

If they made a white Shaft - you would get uproar and everyone screaming Whitewashing.

I have a white shaft. I could be in that movie :hat. My only condition is the movie has a happy ending.

I loved Daniels more gritty Bond but if he's out I have no problem with a change of pace. I would hate to see an actor trying to play Bond like Craig so if the new actor plays bond completly diffrently i'm all for it.

If Idris can play Bond as convincingly as any other Bond that's good enough for me, how he acts Bond is of course more important than his skin color. If he plays Bond and adds certain lines and dialogue or trait of character to appeal to the black community for example then I would be worried but that dosen't sound like Idrs Elba at all.
