I had to Google who this is but damn he’s handsome and he’s also got that ironic expression Pierce and Roger had.I thought they were talking about Regé-Jean Page? I vote for him!
Maybe tv stars are too expensive for this franchise now
They must be just be exclusively looking for guys who got stuck in a flop and are down on their luck.
Honestly though good luck to him. It is a feel good story that someone who seemed like he was in the doldrums as an actor has clawed it back.
Ohhh he’s that guy who was groomed into marriage by that director.
Now it’s all making sense.
And he was quite cool in the Bullet Train along Brad Pitt. Baby’s got blue eyes, certain intelligence about him, the smirk, good bod - we’ll wait and see. I recall Daniel Craig also didn’t have many admirers at the beginning of his JB journey.

They probably want someone relatively unknown, who is cheaper and can/will sign on to a multiple movie contract. I remember him in Avengers as the brother to Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) but it was a small role and I haven't seen him in anything else. I assume they can make him over to look more suave and train him to be more Bond-like.
I didn't know he married at 18 to a 42 year old. Off to Google that!

Indeed we will see. I suppose everyone is in their own echo chambers but I remember (while there was disappointment in the Idris camp and some people were like ‘blonde???’) him being really hyped before casino royale - these shots of him in the trunks were everywhere
Maybe they need to lose the gun and the Elizabeth holmes polo neck and get this new guy in the old swimwear for his next shoot - If it ain’t broke….
They need to stay true to the character. He has to be mature enough to be a former Commander in the Royal Navy. He’s Scottish. I personally love Daniel Craig as Bond. And if they don’t stick with the character Ian Fleming wrote then they will loose their core audience - the middle age men who grew up idolizing Bond. A woman or a black man would be a great spin-off character to start a new series.
I never thought Daniel Craig really fit the role either. He is not suave enough looking. He is kind of rugged looking. Not elegant enough.
Agree with you and this new guy just looks too young and inexperienced, nor do I find him good looking.
I admit I really “saw” DC in these shootsAnd I am quite confident, our new bloke is JB-doable
Bond movies didn't become a billion dollar industry for nothing. I say don't screw with the formula. If the movie industry wants a "woman Bond", then great, go create a whole new movie genre with a woman in that kind of role, don't make her the actual Bond. I think they tried something similar to that with Angelina Jolie in "Lara Croft" and "Salt"; Charlize Theron in "Atomic Blonde"; Ronan in "Hannah"; Soldana in "Colombiana"; and they didn't develop into long series. Maybe they weren't meant to be. Don't destroy the six decade long successful Bond franchise by making Bond a woman.
Instead of making Bond a woman, make a successful movie series with a charismatic bad ass spy woman--preferably one that is extremely smart, self-made financially well off, witty, wears great clothes, works for her gov't, and shags a guy now and then with no strings attached. We didn't mind women who bagged every guy who came along in "Sex in the City". Seems the movie industry and thriller novels for that matter, have to portray strong women with having some kind of hard luck background that makes them psychological damaged goods. I hate that.
Granted, James Bond was an orphan, but it didn't turn him into a damaged goods operator. The Bond movies were a bit silly in some ways, but they were fast paced and entertaining for their target audience. Bond movies need to stick to their knitting or they'll make a billion dollar industry implode because they'd be betraying their target audience. The typical Hallmark fan wouldn't watch Christmas Hallmark movies anymore if the couples started beating each other up and getting bitter divorces. Don't screw with the formula.
I don't know a thing about Taylor Johnson. I'd think there are a number of guys that'd make a decent Bond.

The villainess you describe sounds like someone Cate Blanchett could play. I'd watch that.
Damn Henry Cavill is so handsome but they don’t want to pay that much
Cavill would be the bomb...
He's expensive but also has a strong personality (He's difficult apparently).
But you can get a glimpse of the Bond he'd be in "The man from Uncle"
