aaron taylor johnson the new bond cause of that new omega brand ambassador thing which craig also did before being confirmed as new bond

That’s totally true and an argument I’ve made a lot of times in defence of IP work and big studio franchise stuff when it’s good. No rebuttals to any of this I can think of, all really well put

Wait Roger Deakins oh s***

I get where you're coming from though. There's something intangible about original films like Sinners. A surprise factor, maybe? It can sometimes taste just a little bit sweeter

I’m more excited for that

Please no

Zendaya is too good to be a Bond girl if we're being honest. I don't think she would take the role unless Denis did something really interesting with it

Far better actresses than Zendaya have been Bond girls, especially since the Brosnan era. I agree with the second part of your post tho.

wait what

He already done one of these

was rooting for dev patel but in for atj

That’s what I thought too. Greg Fraser deserves a shot at the title

Deakins also famously said Fraser was snubbed for an Oscar for the Batman so I’m sure he’d be the first person to wanna see Fraser have the opportunity

If it has to be a British actor

Then it’s easily ATJ

He’s not bad but he’s not great either

i honestly have no legitimate reason for not watching any of them but idk, can’t bring myself to have an interest. really dumb, i know; especially since i always hear good things about Casino Royale

Really don't think it's gonna be ATJ. Just a few days after the Omega ambassadorship was announced, Aaron Pierre was widely rumored to be the frontrunner, with nothing on ATJ. He's also vacationed at Goldeneye multiple times over the past few years and it never materialized to any concrete rumors/speculation, meanwhile other names with far less of a connection have been discussed in the trades far more than he has, from Theo James to Josh O'Connor and now, Pierre.

And as I said earlier, such a widespread rumor followed by this official news... I think it's more likely than not that there's something there.

Get ready for a decade of unbearable discourse

Likely not coming til 2028 btw

rather have damson idris than pierre as a black bond tbh

hooly s*** in

Going to be the GOAT

Daniel Kaluuya as Bond.

Wow. Very happy for Denis. Bond is safe in his hands.

I sure hope not. They should cast someone younger.

Jake Gyllenhaal. Ngl, would rather have him than ATJ
