Buy I doubt they would hire Jon Hamm.
I dunno, he had a sort of oily, unpleasant aspect that I associate with Bond. He was definitely better than Moore.
Personally, I donāt think Horowitz is the right person to write Bond novels. Too punchable.

I totally missed that and I have seen ALL THE MOVIES.
And yeah they were on the ball with Felix in the new ones. Same actor in Casino Royale and whatever that dumb too long 2nd one about water hoarding was named.

Iāll accept Idris as Bond only if it doesnāt get in the way of my Idris for Batman campaign.

Also wrong. Jeffrey Wright played him in both Quantum of Solace and the 2006 Casino Royale.
I corrected myself on that one aboveā¦ I actually liked him a lot for the bit character in those two films sadly it didnāt save the mess of a plot in Quantum.
and hereās Idris playing āJ.B.ā an Interpol Agent in the recent film āThe Gunmanā.
Fingers crossed.
Fuck, no. IDRIS AS SUPERMAN. Oh, the lulz. It would spark WWIII.

Believe it or not there is already a canonical black superman in the DC Multiverse, his name is Calvin Ellis. Heās also the President of the United States, because the first black guy in any job always has to work extra hard to prove himself worthy to society. (Also heās basically just Obama with superpowers.)

So Iāve done (internet) research and every British male actor is āupā for the role of Bond. The only one I believe has a chance, that I really know, is Tom Hardy.
Tom has shown he can really, really morph into characters. Iād prefer Idris, but Iāll take Tom.

Too well known, too expensive. Itās always a TV actor/minor film guy, not an established A lister.
More chance someone like Damien Lewis. But heās too old to start. Maybe Aidan Turner as I suggested upthread somewhere.
But yeah, everyone gets linked - Orlando Bloom, FFS?
Oh him. He could pull it off, but his hair would have to look less like mine. And mine looks better.
Iām still not sure I can forgive him for helping Peter Jackson ruin The Hobbit even though his character wasnāt even originally in the story.
I mean, commandeering a giant bat? Not only is that ridiculous itās a ripoff of a scene in one of Peter Jacksonās own movies! (King Kong)
How did he get elected having been born on another planet? Is President Ellis his secret identity? How does he manage being two of the highest profile people on Earth at the same time? Am I over-thinking this?
Clearly that alternate-reality didnāt have a bunch of people making thinly-veiled racist accusations and demanding to see the Presidentās Earth Certificate.
Or maybe everyone who publicly questioned his legitimacy mysteriously had their faces melted off.
