Chalamet would be terrible but I will say that for a long time I've been wanting them to cast a younger Bond. Someone in their mid-20s who can grow into the role and might actually have a shot at making five or six movies without looking like a decrepit old man.

Agreed, and also to avoid them doing “is Bond getting too old for the job” plotlines after 2 movies

But a person in my late 30s, people in their mid-20s frighten me. That wouldn't do at all! A mid-20s Bond could be interesting, but they would really have to lean into it. Bond has generally been portrayed as hyper-condifent and near-infallible. A rookie Bond couldn't and shouldn't be either of these things, or if he is, his arrogance would have to be his Achilles heel. That would be cool to see play out, but I don't trust Amazon and Amy Pascal to pull it off.

You need someone who has the innate suave confidence and it's rare to find in younger actors.

Hot take: I don't think there's been a legit good Bond movie since maybe From Russia with Love so I'm not really worried about nuBond.

If we're going with someone too young, at least cast someone talented like Aidan Gallagher.

Rege-Jean Page seems like the best choice IMO. He's got the looks, the accent, and he can act. Sure, I'd rather see him do weird stuff but he's in the right point in his career where a bunch of surefire paydays will platform him for that sort of thing later.

Godzilla looks great, I don't care how old he is. On the Young Bond thing, the older actors thing doesn't bother me, and they're usually better actors and also cooler when older. Daniel Craig was 38 in Casino Royale, and I never felt he's been too old to play Bond, plus they really took their time putting out some of these sequels. Dalton was 41 etc. RDJ was in his 40s for Iron Man. And lets not forget Keanu at 49 for John Wick. (I'm also 38  )

Connery was only 31 when he was cast in Dr. No. But of course everybody looked old as gently caress back then.

feedmyleg posted:A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.” on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble brag”…..wondering if James Bond could get into that in some way….he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense….and it’s all NBD to him, of course. The Color Run is not an extreme form of exercise lol. It's literally a bunch of kids and non-serious runners doing the laziest 5k ever.
