I’m sorry but he’s everything I see a bond not being.
Just. Please no.
What’s ironic is that he is a good actor, just sometimes picks the wrong role.
Looking at you lex Luther
A Real Pain, Zombieland and The Social Network, great roles. Lex Luthor, not so much.
I like him as an actor but please, not Bond.
If he can be Bond then anyone can be Bond. If anyone can be Bond then the whole premise is absolutely pointless.
Get Danny Devito's agent on the phone
Nah too much class, let's get Pauly Shore.
The PM was just making a joke to make it clear their military service changes are voluntary.
Well we've tried old and decrepit Bond, might as well try neurotic and weird Bond
This. Actually could be a good thing for the franchise, especially if the action is ruthless and needlessly brutal. Would make Bond a borderline psychopath with real unresolved issues.
No thank you. No need to transform a classic character and franchise into something they notably are not. Being cool and charismatic and smooth and whatnot, in other words essentially the polar opposite of the average Jesse Eisenberg character, is part of the core identity of the character itself. Change that and you don't have Bond anymore. It's a whole different character that shares the name for marketing purposes.
Nobody's stopping nobody from writing their own movie with their own original character who happens to be a weird neurotic psychopathic nerdy secret agent, though. No need to hijack a cinema classic for that.
It already happened. The last James Bond character already clashed sharply with the seducer kung-fu fighter with cartoonish action moves and a gun expertise resembling Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun that were the original three. The James Bond figure constantly evolve to adapt to its audience and to the competitors (i'm looking at you, Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer).
How’s his British accent? A Bond who is not canonically an Englishman would be like Superman not being American.
On several fronts: No. What?
Every Polish citizen is required to take military training according to a new law.
This is a joke a out that.
This comment section is one big whoosh.
Him?
