It’s a little sad Dev Patel seemingly wasn’t even in consideration for Bond. MONKEY MAN felt like his audition for Bond the same way LAYER CAKE was for Daniel Craig.
need a friends to lovers situation because i want to be in a relationship but i don't want to change anything about my life as i am very content and as i’m typing this i'm realising that probably means i’m not ready for a relationship ok thank you everyone great talk good night
Tbh I do think Josh o’connor would be an interesting choice for bond but I just do not want him to be tied down for years on end for it. Especially when he’s at his peak right now!!
to be clear: the only valid debate about josh o’connor as bond is whether an actor of his caliber should be tied to a franchise for a decade. not whether he can pull it off. watch Challengers, La Chimera and Wake Up Dead Man. range, magnetism, physicality. he has it all.
Callum Turner: No personality on-screen. Nothing interesting about him IRL (other than being Mr. Dua Lipa)
Josh O'Connor: The best actor of the lot, but too nerdy. No aura.
Jack Lowden: Perfect, other than the baggage of having played the most failson spy on TV for six seasons.
