Who do you want for Bond 7?

That made me laugh.

Michael Weatherly had a little fun today with this image on Instagram. The image here is not the best as it’s screencap on my part.

Tony DiNozzo?

I don’t see why Turner is supposed to be a candidate.

ā€œ Seems someone knows something I don’t ā€œ

Some actors don’t want a role like Bond because they’re worried it will overshadow their career. Idris Elba seems to be suffering all of the negatives of being associated with Bond without ever having played the character.

I remember back in 2018 articles about Elba being cast as Bond completely overshadowed the release of Yardie, his cinematic directorial debut.

The sad irony is: he would have been terrific as Bond.

He probably would have been, I agree.

He’d also make a fantastic M as well moving forward. He definitely has the gravitas needed to command that office set in the way that Fiennes, Dench, Brown, and Lee did during their time in the role.

Still does not seem like Bond to me but see for yourself…

Very good actor, strongly recommend you watch The Capture. He is the series 1 lead. It has this whole thing that Holiday Granger is lead but there’s a second lead and he changes every series. Series 3 is more Bondish but Turner, rightly, got awards for his series 1 character.

it’s all produced by David Heyman

Can’t think what he’s doing now…

Can’t say I’m familiar with him apart from the usual tabloid articles, but I guess he has the general look. Other people do too, though. I’m all for Amazon screen testing widely.

I don’t know much about Turner, but apparently he has George Clooney’s endorsement.

I suppose we’ll also see Nicholas Galitzine test for it as well. He’s done quite a bit of work for Amazon and/or MGM here in recent years.

A lot of the betting sites have Turner as the hottest pick.

That means something to me since a lot of these bets are usually rigged.

Someone could have some inside information and is trying to make a quick buck out of it.

I was only old enough for Craig being announced.

I was alive for Brosnan but it was nearer to TWINE before i got into Bond.

Brosnan, i gathered later, was predicted. Craig seemed to come out of nowhere.

Is there something we should be looking for?

Turner feels right but this is a complete reset with only Amy Pascal having worked on a Bond movie before so it feels even harder to guess

One thing’s certain. If this guy Turner is picked, the name of the title song singer will be obvious…

Would love to see Elba command that office in Lee-mode…

I genuinely interpreted that as Christopher Lee before my little mind caught up. Would certainly shake things up a bit.
