I seldom read the continuations with actors in mind, that’s why I rarely contribute to these threads. But some interesting choices there, Crowe, Blunt, Molina, Rush - I’d like to see them sometime soon.

I think casting any type of James Bond movie is hard. You want familiar, but not everyone knows your name famous.
That’s true, but lately (especially with the villains) they have been going for more well known actors: Javier Bardem, Christoph Waltz, Rami Malek. Even Lea Seydoux and Monica Belucci were far more well known than previous Bond Ladies.
