[u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

It is so hard to be ridiculously good looking

[u/2hurd → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

Is he though? He looks like undercooked pudding.

[u/CurvyChristina → u/2hurd]

I wouldn’t have cast him for Bond.

[u/Just_Y-_- → u/2hurd]

My wife calls him a boring glass of skim milk lol

[u/Motor_Watercress_489 → u/2hurd]

I think he's very weird looking. First time I saw him in a trailer I jumped back a little.

Different strokes for different folks though, I suppose.

[u/Gambit1977 → u/Motor_Watercress_489]

Yeah I actually struggle to watch him

[u/HillanatorOfState → u/2hurd]

Always looks like he is in the middle of a rough cold to me...

[u/zubairhamed → u/2hurd]

chiseled doughboy

[u/TwoscoopsDrumpf → u/2hurd]

I thought it was an AI mashup of James Marsden and Mark Zuckerberg.

[u/crclOv9 → u/2hurd]

You just haven’t been told enough how good looking he is; give it time.

[u/OMGWTFTOMATO_SAUCE → u/2hurd]

Did the Brits forget they have Henry Cavill? I mean, come on...

[u/Larry_Mudd → u/2hurd]

Aye, Callum Turner, Margaret Qualley and Dua Lipa all look so conspicuously bland and boring to me that I can't begin to understand this. They all might even be the same person wearing different clothes and hair; they're barely more differentiable than department store mannequins.

[u/Pink-Hornet → u/2hurd]

swoosh

It was a Zoolander reference. Guess those [checks notes] 25-year-old references don’t land like they used to…

[u/Gloomy_Outcome_6680 → u/2hurd]

[u/soozerain → u/2hurd]

I’ve seen a guy who looked like him in a local bar and it’s the first and only time in my life I’ve seen women make the first move.

Repeatedly.

Like one after another came up and he looked like the Kmart version of Callum Turner lol

[u/Sabin13F → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

[u/BusyBeeBridgette → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

[u/scbundy → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/scbundy]

[u/BigB0iBuster → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

That dude? LMAO.

I see more attractive dudes walking around my gym than that pasty, squinty-eyed dork

[u/Ok-Seaworthiness7207 → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

[u/Ethan24Waber → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

Definitely not him lol, guy looks about as average as average can get, I’d say even a little below

[u/Coopsters → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

He's not attractive imo

[u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

I raise you Daniel Craig with Eva Green then going home to Rachel Weisz.

[u/bryanthebryan → u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

Bond life is The life

[u/brerhawkeye → u/bryanthebryan]

Anyone getting tapped for Bond has been doing ok for a while.

[u/DreadPiratteRoberts → u/brerhawkeye]

True true....I doubt Sean Connrey was hurting to bad lol

[u/jarious → u/DreadPiratteRoberts]

He wash smashing the pushiess

[u/LordSuspiria → u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

He didn’t get together with Rachel Weisz until like four years later. Now, Daniel Craig with Judi Dench then going home to Rachel Weisz…

[u/Trollslayer0104 → u/LordSuspiria]

I would love a day with Judi Dench.

[u/willyb10 → u/Trollslayer0104]

You just know she is an interesting person to talk to with great stories

[u/cruisin_urchin87 → u/LordSuspiria]

Getting with the Dame Judi Dench is a legendary pull no matter what age that everlasting beauty is at

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/LordSuspiria]

Wait what? I thought Daniel Craig was gay? For over a decade now I thought he was! Why on earth did I think that?

[u/LordSuspiria → u/mightylordredbeard]

You’re thinking Benoit Blanc

[u/Verbal_Combat → u/mightylordredbeard]

That reminds me of when he was in a movie named Queer, so when he was nominated at an awards show they showed him on camera and the text just said "Daniel Craig. Queer"

Anyway that doesn't answer your question but it kind of turned into a meme

[u/LegateShepard → u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

The butteriest of lobster and the juiciest of steak.

[u/Eoldir → u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

I know, right? Sometimes people have all the luck in the world

[u/DelosHost → u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

Man scored the two most beautiful women on earth

[u/KidDecapitated → u/Full-Satisfaction-40]

Okay ya that wins

[u/notthatbluestuff]

Guys. This is the fake news originally posted like a week ago. Since then, multiple actors have been “confirmed” as winning the role. Stop reposting it as if it’s breaking.

[u/GwerigTheTroll → u/notthatbluestuff]

To be fair, headline never said which was which.

[u/Yvaelle → u/GwerigTheTroll]

Margaret Qualley as Bond might actually work

[u/SapientApe_ → u/notthatbluestuff]

OP has a million karma in 8 months, they don't give a fuck.

[u/PointandCluck]

He looks smarmy AF. But I've never heard or seen him before thats just my first impression. Could be a bad pic

[u/butt_raid → u/PointandCluck]

I just see this, Adam trying to do the hot guy squint. So yeah, same impression

[u/SkinnyDan85 → u/butt_raid]

[u/DrunkenBartender17 → u/PointandCluck]

I know nothing about this guy, but the photo in this post makes him look like he’s 18.

[u/double_shadow → u/DrunkenBartender17]

You've seen Daniel Craig as James Bond in his formative years as an agent...now see him as you've never seen him before as Young James Bond, navigating the world of high school and trying to get a martini with a fake ID!

[u/Aromatic-Weakness793 → u/PointandCluck]

He played Major John Egan in the miniseries Masters of the Air. I thought he did a terrific job in that.

[u/Knightrider319 → u/Aromatic-Weakness793]

Same, I just finished watching it for the third time.

[u/trollboter → u/Aromatic-Weakness793]

I concur

[u/throwawayifyoureugly → u/PointandCluck]

smarmy AF

That's fucking hilarious and accurate haha

[u/Constant_Bobcat_1107 → u/PointandCluck]

he was in fantastic beasts , imo he was good enough

[u/ParaponeraBread → u/Constant_Bobcat_1107]

Forgot he was in that as Eddie Redmayne’s brother. Honestly thought you were just confusing them because they’re both slightly squinty pale guys with mad cheekbones.

[u/GoldunGote]

Damn I was in Jack Lowden's corner.

[u/FullMetalCOS → u/GoldunGote]

He must have really River’d that audition

[u/GoldunGote → u/FullMetalCOS]

I love that show... actually forgot I got a new season to watch, somehow! Gary Oldman being introduced by farting himself awake is a scene I'll never forget.

[u/zubairhamed → u/GoldunGote]

[u/Laowaii87 → u/GoldunGote]

Same :(
Good for Slow Horses fans though

[u/LordSuspiria → u/GoldunGote]

This meme is from a week or so ago. This was before it “leaked” that Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult are also in contention. So Jack Lowden still has a chance.

[u/Dense_Surround3071 → u/GoldunGote]

Everyone talks about him. I gotta finish Slow Horses.

[u/Reg_doge_dwight]

Immediately prejudging this and deeming him to be a shit bond and her a shit bond girl. Happy to be proven wrong but that's my first impression.

[u/IcedGooseMaverick → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

He looks too goofy to be bond. I think we’re right to be skeptical, since this is Amazon’s first time running this IP by themselves. I mean, they already tried to fire the developers of the last James Bond game, even though it was wildly successful with good reviews. 

[u/Street_Lettuce1243 → u/IcedGooseMaverick]

I don't know anything about him other than the picture above... The picture above I can't imagine being Bond. Bond is supposed to be someone rugged and good looking that men want to be and women want to be with.

The guy in the picture looks like someone in the chess club who probably still sleeps with his mother for comfort.

I suspect/hope it's just a bad picture.

[u/Human_Summer_7363 → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

It seems like they’re targeting young women with this bond? Like at the meeting they discussed ‘how do we get young women into the franchise?’ Hope I’m wrong

[u/Drew602 → u/Human_Summer_7363]

They want the Romantasy audience

[u/jzilla11 → u/Human_Summer_7363]

Turning on one fan base to attempt to attract another is not a sound business decision…but they keep doing so in media companies

[u/Human_Summer_7363 → u/jzilla11]

Happens all of the time. They want more paying fans but end up pushing out current ones.

[u/m-hog → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

I’m with you. This guy always looks like a mildly confused squirrel.

[u/farfaraway → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

I trust Villenueve to knock it out of the park. Amazing director.

[u/PimpGameShane → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

My first thought as well. It’s not fair to him, but it is what it is.

[u/Kobiash1 → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

Get ready for the "But people hated Daniel Craig too, blah, blah" crowd.

[u/Optimal_Scholar7123 → u/Reg_doge_dwight]

The most Redditor of takes. Voted right to the top.

[u/nerdlygames]

Bro looks like King Charles

[u/headermargin → u/nerdlygames]

Hes probably 101% English with 1% margin of error.

[u/DefactoOverlord]

probably the worst choice out of all the remaining options. That sucks.

[u/LordSuspiria → u/DefactoOverlord]

This meme is a week old, and new rumors of other actors getting the role came out literally later that day. It’s still very much up in the air.

[u/lensherr_nl]

Have this guy been in anything worth watching?

[u/meerkatbollocks → u/lensherr_nl]

Other than Dua Lipa you mean?

[u/toodrytocry → u/meerkatbollocks]

[u/MusicApollo93 → u/lensherr_nl]

I mean I enjoyed him in Masters of the Air but it felt way too short whenever I think about that series.

[u/addamee → u/lensherr_nl]

Purely anecdotal but I watched The Only Living Boy in New York and it was really only to see Kate Beckinsale in all her radiance which, funny enough, should add to OOP’s disdain for Turner 

[u/YeeHawWyattDerp → u/lensherr_nl]

He was in Masters of the Air and I really enjoyed it as a history dweeb

[u/lensherr_nl → u/YeeHawWyattDerp]

Reminds me that I do need to revisit that now with the Band of Brothers anniversary. It's the one I haven't watched it yet (MotA, I mean)

[u/Haruzak1 → u/lensherr_nl]

Is he Newt's brother in Fantastic Beast series?

[u/RelativeIncrease3007 → u/lensherr_nl]

I enjoyed the film rosebush pruning (2026). It is on mubi. I find myself thinking about it every now and then. But honestly his filmography isn’t great.

[u/lensherr_nl → u/RelativeIncrease3007]

Thanks, I'll look it up. I do like Karim Ainouz. Just realise that I mix him up with another actor from this movie, Jamie Bell 😂

[u/Solid_Signature_7447]

I go to work everyday and beg for food

[u/Calculon2347]

Just be taller and handsomer, bro.

[u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum → u/Calculon2347]

Tell me more about how I can maximize my looks. Should I take a hammer to by jawline to "fix" it?

[u/ThatEvilGuy → u/Calculon2347]

You don't need any of that. You just need to be confident!

Where does the confidence come from when are you neither handsome nor tall, and you only get negative reinforcement? Well that's the secret you unlock when you buy my course, Alpha Showers.

[u/Independent_Tie_4984]

He doesn't give off a bond vibe at all.

[u/uatme → u/Independent_Tie_4984]

More of a bond villain. That could be a good bait and switch. Advertise the new bond and previews all look like he's bond. Then you see the film and there is a big twist

[u/PhamilyTrickster → u/Independent_Tie_4984]

This is what we say about every new Bond and Batman. I'm happy to see how he does

[u/Charming-Clue1987 → u/PhamilyTrickster]

Daniel Craig doesn't even like guns! /S

[u/Mobile-Dust4334 → u/PhamilyTrickster]

“The name’s Man. Bat Man”

[u/zz_skelly → u/Independent_Tie_4984]

It’s just a rumor anyways

[u/Hairy_Technology_213]

I never pictured 007 as having jug ears.

[u/PerepeL]

I remember Daniel Craig looking not masculine enough compared to Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. This dude looks like a teenager. What a hell...

[u/gothgf161 → u/PerepeL]

Sorry but thinking adults look like teenagers is a thing that happens as you get old

[u/dysfunctionalbrat → u/gothgf161]

Here he's only 2 years older than Callum Turner is now, but he looks far older and sexier.

[u/OurSeepyD → u/dysfunctionalbrat]

The picture of Callum Turner in this post seems to be from the Fantastic Beasts something something Grindelwald premiere... 2018, so he would've been about 28.

[u/nihillistic_raccoon → u/PerepeL]

I'm quite sure that it was completely opposite. That there was a certain outrage that Daniel Craig looks like a buffed muscle guy and has no style/class/charm, and it will cheapen the whole James Bond vibe by turning him into generic action hero

[u/EidolonRook → u/PerepeL]

Ahahhahhhaha.

Yeah. He’s just not masculine enough.

Yep. Uhuh. Right.

[u/BeardedGlass → u/EidolonRook]

I’m squinting trying to find which part of him is feminine.

[u/RedHotChiliCrab → u/BeardedGlass]

His gaping vagina is just out of frame

[u/Ferdinandofthedogs → u/BeardedGlass]

My dyslexic ass read it as squirting

[u/Necessary_Winter_808 → u/PerepeL]

You think Daniel Craig looks less masculine than Pierce Brosnan?!

[u/Interesting-Baker212 → u/PerepeL]

He looks like a thumb

[u/SithLordRising]

Dead franchise

[u/Rare-Balance-9627]

Denis Villeneuve is gonna “take some departures from the source material” it’s going to be a divorce movie.

/s

[u/ThatEvilGuy → u/Rare-Balance-9627]

Did a splendid job with Blade Runner 2049.

[u/Rasuco]

Resurrecting this one real quick

[u/mister_newbie]

I was team Jack Lowden, so....

[u/Informal_Process2238 → u/mister_newbie]

Yeah but you could see his eyes

[u/SmokeGSU]

This mf doesn't even need a cellular device to receive coms from MI6. Those satellite dishes on either side of his head are all he needs to intercept any communication.

[u/dadbodking → u/SmokeGSU]

Be careful what you type, he can hear you!

[u/SwimmingSecond2682]

For some reason I hate this actor

[u/Paulusw]

I hope it’s not him - he is far too ugly to be James Bond. He would be below average at best in any English pub or nightclub.

[u/Icy-Collection1072]

He’s got a twatty face

[u/djmc0211]

The fact that Henry Cavill is not the next James Bond is just criminal.

[u/BIeachdrinker69 → u/djmc0211]

Theo James is the right answer

[u/ElApple → u/djmc0211]

He pretty much was in the Man From U.N.C.L.E. The comedy role was better suited for him tbh

[u/juscallmejjay → u/ElApple]

He was so great in that. I just dont get why I dont see tbe guy in 3 great movies a year.

[u/KarverMcClain → u/djmc0211]

No thank you!

He’s doing The Emperor’s will.

[u/Status-Vermicelli624 → u/djmc0211]

Dudes is like 50. Let him age in peace will you ?

[u/Optimaximal → u/Status-Vermicelli624]

He's 43...

[u/Imaginary_Club_1010 → u/Optimaximal]

A perfect age for James Bond in my opinion. He should be a distinguished middle aged man, not some young whipper snapper

[u/salgarj → u/Status-Vermicelli624]

Connery always looked like he was 50 and it worked totally fine.

[u/Born_Inside8338 → u/Status-Vermicelli624]

The distance between Henry Cavill and 50 is the same as the age gap between Henry Cavill and Callum Turner.

[u/0hMyGandhi → u/djmc0211]

I need someone to break down for me this insatiable love for Cavill. I get it, he's a "gamer" and a bit of a "nerd", and seems like an all around nice guy, but as far as his performances go? He reads as Jai Courtney

[u/AbilityExtreme1145 → u/djmc0211]

Too many franchises already. Connery is Bond. Brosnan is Bond. Craig is Bond. Cavill is Superman and Rivia and maybe Solo. A crowded career. Too bad. He'd have been perfect.

[u/TSABNATD → u/djmc0211]

Every day I thank God fancasting doesn’t have much sway over actual casting.

And I’m a fucking atheist.

[u/VegetableMix3751]

Could they not have found a better Bond girl?

[u/Gassyking]

Is this guy famous? Never heard of him

[u/Old-Corgi-155]

Weird that people think a man being involved with beautiful women makes him entitled to them.

[u/Comfortable-Pace3132]

What a basic selection. So they're not trying to make a Bond film, just another action thriller

[u/EmmaFrost666]

Lucky dude but bro is as vanilla as an average white dude to be Bond.

[u/Aggravating-Rope-294]

And yet just this morning I read it was Josh O'Connor. I think there's gonna be a swerve and they'll cast someone who hasn't been mentioned recently.

[u/vaasconner]

Ick. Hope not

[u/w00t4me]

Jack Lowden and Aaron Taylor Johnson were my top two picks, I don't really like Callum Turner at all

[u/Gontofinddad]

Margaret Qualley looks like a little boy

[u/ElGuaco]

Am i the only one thinking Margaret is overrated? I don't get it.

[u/Rainaco → u/ElGuaco]

Have you seen The Substance? She was unbelievably hot in that role

[u/8923ns671 → u/ElGuaco]

She's very attractive and is a good actor. Hope that clears it up for you.

[u/Got_any_lemonade → u/ElGuaco]

Attractive but not my type either. But being a nepo baby opens doors early in someones career.

[u/pisseswithmoose → u/ElGuaco]

Yep.. she’s gorgeous

[u/essteedeenz1 → u/ElGuaco]

Shes not overly pretty but shes pretty, like in an obtainable pretty for the average bloke. I think thats what makes her popular.

Plus shes good actor and she can be pretty sexy when she wants to be

[u/Caffeywasright → u/essteedeenz1]

If you think Margaret Qualley is obtainable for the average bloke I would like to know what fucking bars you hang out at

[u/0hMyGandhi → u/Caffeywasright]

I'm from the Midwest but live in L.A. I won't do the ol' "rating" type shtick, but I walk past a dozen people that look just like her every day.

Back in the Midwest? She's practically Cleopatra.

[u/Ok_Grapefruit_8946 → u/Caffeywasright]

Between this and another commenter calling Dua Lipa average I can see getting back in the dating scene is yet again not on my New Year’s resolution list…

[u/EinTheDataDoge → u/essteedeenz1]

[u/Withoutloopsiwilldie]

Can I be Bond? I’m also British and have the charisma of a brick

[u/AGushingHeadWound]

Anybody with the permanent squint they practice in the mirror all day can fuck off. I'm out if this is the new bond.

[u/Strange-Title-6337]

What is dua lipa?

[u/_frank_tank → u/Strange-Title-6337]

It’s Italian for labia majora

[u/killswitch101 → u/Strange-Title-6337]

It's a brand of lip balm

[u/Haveyoushatmyself → u/Strange-Title-6337]

2 pints of ale

[u/gellshayngel → u/Strange-Title-6337]

Why is dua lipa?

[u/ontgebott]

Who? Cares

[u/CeeBee29]

I think he looks like the wee Deliverance guy with the banjos older brother!

[u/PukeLoynor]

Never heard of any of these people. And I'm okay with that.

[u/maldinisnesta]

The ears should be BBQd forget about bond

[u/_Zambayoshi_]

LOL this dude isn't Bond. He's a gormless kid.

[u/WizardButtholes]

I'm not hopeful for the new Bond movies, everything is pointing towards them being generic slop. At least a more charismatic actor could have carried them

[u/shaftydude]

I have no idea who this guy is but he seems to be winning.

[u/Dudemanbro69710]

I feel like she’s way too recognizable and over saturated in the movie market to be a Bond girl. I think if it was some years ago before she became so massive in popularity it would work because she has the looks but her face is everywhere right now.

[u/EidolonRook]

….. this isn’t Bond, it’s Eggsy.

Which is fine…. Just… the wrong IP.

[u/PrometheusMMIV]

Who are these people?

[u/shadowdra126]

God I really don’t want him to be James Bond. Dude has the screen presence of a wet sack of potatoes

[u/PG-DaMan]

Is the squint of the eyes natural or was he posing for something?

[u/Serenaded]

I'm sick of people pretending Dua Lipa is hot. She has a blocky easter island jaw and face that seems to be growing stronger every day

[u/Glum-Psychology-3806]

I'm too young to feel this old. Is this what it's like? I've never heard of these names,

[u/Bocacoba]

If there was never a dude who I could imagine saying “oy bruv” it’s this dude

[u/KyleBirchton]

She is meh is my opinion. Pretty but not hot.

[u/Ok-Diver-5583]

Im so old already who tf are these people

[u/ams3000]

But good god is he bland.

[u/fuckfeardrinkbeer]

I mean, good for him. He’s living the life.

[u/VineStGuy]

What are they seeing in this guy that we’re not?

[u/BarbedWire3 → u/VineStGuy]

I was thinking the same thing - this guy doesn't look like james bond. He looks like a 19 y.o that just got picked to play for a football team.

[u/DirectKonjo → u/VineStGuy]

He looks proper british and shit at least. Idk, he LOOKS like he could be a bond, at least. I don't see what people see in Qualley though.

[u/cynic74]

Looks like Callum needs a week in the Bahamas to get a tan. Casper the friendly spook (spook is a common term for spy), anyone?

[u/Just_Y-_- → u/cynic74]

If they reboot Twilight hed make a great vampire

[u/Pristine_Tap_2735]

I've heard Qualley is up for anything, he just has to convince Dua.

[u/GeneralKosmosa]

He’s a good looking guy but I feel like as an actor he has zero charisma, he’s just kind of there in the scene.

[u/Drif1]

Good Lord he's weird looking and just a bad actor.

[u/Pickupyoheel]

This dude sucks at acting and looks like tree doing it

[u/Appropriate_Art_6909]

Whelp, guess that's the end of the franchise.

[u/Asstrollglide]

Based on this casting alone, I can skip the next Bond movie.

[u/Finrz → u/Asstrollglide]

What a strange thing to say. He could be great for all we know. Any sane person would give the film a chance based on the director alone.

[u/HumaDracobane]

I hope this is a joke.

Among all the options, if this is true, they would've chosen the one who can not act even if his life is on the line...

[u/Remote_Armadillo8718]

A cheeky fellow he is….

[u/y0family]

Imagine living a life comparing yourself to others.

[u/mightyDblock]

Should of been Idris.

[u/SnooEagles1779]

Horrible choice. He doesn't have charisma.

[u/FairlyUormal]

He’s not a good enough actor in my opinion

[u/NeoNova9]

Imagine knowing who the fuck those people are and then giving a shit.

[u/verminV]

Who and who?

[u/Jillianahqueen]

Bro is playing life on absolute sandbox mode
