So yeah, it's gonna be a hard decision.

Boris Johnson has just announced that the UK is officially on course for a second wave. Get your 2021 calendars out, Universal.

Given they're closer to the Tenet-scale of spending and committing to the November date in marketing, I wonder if Tenet-esque incremental delays may be on the table. Not to mention PVOD. They literally had tons of materials printed and marketing spend committed specifically with the November messaging as opposed to WB-style 'only in theaters'

And the rest of the Internet is deluding themselves into thinking Tom Hardy's just won the job for some reason despite that story coming from The Daily Express and The Vulcan Reporter.

 

How about we don't discuss Craig's potential successors until this film is in cinemas?

It's ridiculous. Anyone can create a blog or a twitter account (including me), then say they are an insider and the internet will run with it.

 

Who knows when the next movie will come and the actual movie hasn't been released... but they thinking that the executives are thinking right now in a new actor. lol

I mean, I'm fairly confident they have been actively thinking of casting the next Bond knowing this will be Craig's last one. They probably even had a list of names to approach should the negotiations with Craig post-Spectre have gone south.

Leave it about five years and have Millie Bobbie Brown as Janelle Bond.

Yeah, twitter should check the source first before losing their shit. Tabloid scoop? Hard pass.

There's a sadistic side of me that's looking forward to the wave of mass disappointment from everyone currently losing their shit over the Tom Hardy rumours when/if (likely when) the new James Bond is revealed and it isn't Tom Hardy.

[excel1]

Henry Golding would be a good Bond. 

[FilmFincher]

I've been pushing for Dan Stevens ever since The Guest. He just needs to put that muscle back on from then. I feel like he was the perfect age then as well, not sure how many films he can get in before he starts getting up there. They've pushed Craig pretty far though so could do the same.

I know right? Some things need to happen just for delicious meltdowns by people who set themselves for disappoint with unreasonable expectations.

Yeah this is definitely Tenet 2.0. But can they keep on with November without not just the US, but potentially UK too?

And if the UK is on track for a second wave, the US is headed for an even bigger second wave.

ANybody with a basic knowledge of science, could see this coming. Cold weather equals  cold season and more sneezing and coughting, and the covid will "Hitchhike" on more common ailmnets to spread. No Brainer,folks.

I think Universal has pretty much known that it's 2021 for No Time To Die for some time.

Just about the only time the heavily rumored and favored actor got the 007 role was Piers Brosnan.

Hardy it too big a name;I think that EON will stick with picking an actor who is experienced but not a big name  in movies.  Well known for TV work,yes (Moore and Brosnan) but not in movies.

I like Cavill, but can't see him being tough enough. Cavill can do the charm, yeah, but the whole underneath the charm Bond is a tough, ruthless bastard who will do whatever it takes to Get The Jon Done angle, I have problems seeing in Cavill. Anyway, if the rumors that apparently he is going to sign a long term contract with  Warners/DC to return as Superman  that pretty much rules him out for Bond.

Cavill can definitely do the brutal ruthless bastard type character given the right material. His character in Mission Impossible Fallout could easily smash Casino Royale era Daniel Craig through a wall without breaking a sweat. That said, I don’t see him getting chosen for Bond. I think they’ll go with someone less well known.

Yes, but the trick is to be able to go between the charming Bond and the ruthless SOB Bond witout losing audiences.

Anyway I think Cavill is out of the running for a number of other reasons;He is too big a name and he seems on the verge of locking up Superman for the foreseeable future. 

BTW I am predicting that the next James Bond will be an actor nobody here is thinking of.

[lilmac]

What about Ben Affleck? Tom Holland? Kidding. 
 

I really miss the early Sean Connery Bond. I would have been ok with Fassbender or Stringer Bell 10 years ago but please, not Cavill. Even 2021 will be rocky for the boxoffice. Could be one of the lower grossing Bond films when it ultimately releases.

Considering what's going on in Europe, how the hell this movie hasn't been delayed yet?
