I think the James Bond brand ran out of gas some time ago. Cool back in the 60/70s when the cold war was on but not so much anymore.

@hippyjoe1955 Nope. It has always been; James Bond (a British Secret Service operative) vs. a global criminal organisation.
@room101 the cold war factored into it pretty big. It was never central, but it was often an important component to the plot.
room101 · 51-55, M
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Not in any significant way, particularly in the films. The Cold War, Russia, North Korea et al were all backdrops to the central narrative of Spectre and its various members and/or affiliates.

With the exception of Tom Hardy, I don't know any of the other actors. Liam Neeson would have made a fine 007 but he's now a little too old for the part.

Danny Dyer is leaving Eastenders, just saying 🙄
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Erm yea but the accent might be a problem for the American audience.
SW-User
@Nimbus It's a problem for UK audiences, hasn't stopped him getting work though 🤷‍♂️
Nimbus · M
@SW-User True.

@Lacemaker Great actor.
SW-User
@Lacemaker I'd prefer more Luther to be honest
Lacemaker · 41-45, F
@SW-User That's true. He's not a snappy enough dresser for Bond anyway.
He's a bit of a slob with a twinkle 😜

Smiler - wait James Bond he catches criminals as knowing Smiler he will turn a blind eye for a piece of the action
Nimbus · M
@nedkelly I'm just waiting for the fight scenes ;)
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@Nimbus and Mrs Smiler could play Miss Moneypenny
Nimbus · M
@nedkelly Erm, I feel sick.
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
Ralph Fiennes could be an interesting choice 🤔
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@ozgirl512 Can't, his already playing M
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@nedkelly so obvious I overlooked him... Sorry🤣
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@ozgirl512 You've never heard of job sharing during a pandemic🧐

Prince Harry 😂 first James Bond p-whooped by his wife
Nimbus · M
@cherokeepatti All of them are useless.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Nimbus It seems he wasn’t prepared for the simple life. And marrying a power-hungry high-maintenance woman is not helping. For example, if you want to make your money go farther, don’t buy a mansion, the utilities, property taxes, insurance, and hired help would cost way more than what they need to live on otherwise.
TheGreatestEver123 · 41-45, M
@cherokeepatti 😂😂🤣He’ll try to shut down SPECTRE for not having a diversity policy or an adequate carbon neutral strategy.
room101 · 51-55, M
Have you not seen "No Time To Die"😱😱😱
helsbels · 26-30, F
@room101 There will be more Bond films, and a new James Bond as usual... Daniel Craig's films were seen as their own 'arc' of films from his first to his last so won't affect any others going forward.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
@helsbels Agreed. I liked the way his films were a bit of a mini-series within the whole collection.
room101 · 51-55, M
@helsbels That would be a significant break from how the franchise has operated since it began in the 1960's.

Anyway, I'm saying no more. There are too many spoilers inherent in this discussion lol
smiler2012 · 56-60
{@nimbus] nah thanks for the nomination and endorsement nimby but for a scouser it looks too much like hard work 😄
Nimbus · M
@smiler2012 It's good that a man knows his limitations 😆
Coralmist · 41-45, F
Henry Cavill☺️
TheGreatestEver123 · 41-45, M
@Coralmist I think so too but nobody else seems to mention him. He’s the perfect choice.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@TheGreatestEver123 He truly is😌
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
@Coralmist Fans already know him by Superman. It be strange seeing him as 007.
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
Michael Fassbender

Tom Holland
Nimbus · M
@Mikeawesome1986 Yea, him too!
4meAndyou · F
🤣🤣🤣 I definitely think Neddie could do a fine Bond!!!

Of your other choices, it was a close tossup between Tom Hopper and Michael Fassbender...but I would prefer not to see another effeminate Bond like Roger Moore.
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Me too!

Ned Kelly 007 has a ring bout it ;)
Boris Johnson.....
Nimbus · M
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Dead man walking!

I only recognize 2 of the names there. Fassbender can't do anything right, and Pattinson..? I can't believe you said Robert Pattinson.

Daniel Radcliffe
Nimbus · M
@SW-User lol, sure.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
I thought it was going to be a woman?

Anyways I think James Bond has overstayed its welcome. Time for something new.
Nimbus · M
@FeetAreFantastic They keep changing their minds.
SW-User
Warwick Davis
Nimbus · M
@SW-User That's a bit of a tall order ;)
SW-User
@Nimbus maybe but he's not short on acting abilities
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Nice one 👍
