Tom Hardy for Bond role
 

so would you like Tom Hardy as the new James Bond after Daniel Craigs final outing?

I say yeah!

That'd be awesome! He's hot!

Idris

Absolutely - he’s almost made for the role. I mean just look at him! He’s a brilliant serious actor but also great at the tongue in cheek stuff that we associate with Bond.

a female bond pls

never. That would be even worse than a female doctor who which ruined the show for me. Bah. Xx

Les Dennis should be the new Bond

:clap1:

Love Tom Hardy but I think Idris would be better. Not a fan of James Bond though so not that bothered about it

would be happy with either Hardy or Elba. A female bond would be silly (and a female Doctor was not at all silly, it's just... a bad show aimed at young teenagers lol)

Now we are talking lads

home wrecker Elba would be awful

Would be an uninspired choice

Not a very exciting choice, I'd prefer Idris.

If Tom got the role I would start watching the Bond movies again...:cheer2:

Tom hardy can do one.


Ugly ugly man...white, getting on a bit..likes to play bad people.. nah. NOT FOR ME

You’ve just described Daniel Craig to a tee

:nono:

don't talk trash about one of my personal fave actors


I loved Idris in Mountain between Us


but i wouldn't select him for 007, maybe more opposite to 007, as villain since he can play that well too, as we saw in Star Trek Beyond :love:

...Idris..:lovedup:...after just watching him in The Fall, I think maybe Jamie Dornan could be a possible James Bond as well...

I like Tom Hardy but I'm not convinced he would make a good Bond... he could certainly do the action stuff but I'm not sure he fits for the "Charm In A Tuxedo" element that's also a huge part of the Bond films.

I actually (after hating the first episode) finally got around to watching the last 2 seasons of Doctor Who a few weeks back and came round to thinking that Jodie Wittaker actually is excellent in the role when she's given her moments to shine - I hope she gets to stay on long enough for the writing to be on par. Everyone's favorites tend to be Tennant and Smith but if you actually look back on it, they're handed so many opportunities for stand-out moments on a platter, that's really inevitable.

Yeah, a female Doctor isn't really comparable. It actually makes the most sense in the context of Doctor Who and the actual character hasn't really changed at all. It's just broadened the scope now for the actors who can play the part. The Doctor has always been pretty gender-less.

The writing, on the other hand.... :umm2:

It was honestly the worst time for the writing to go down the pan, too. I honestly watched the first JW episode and thought "Oh no... it really doesn't work" buuut after watching the whole series I'm like "She's the only part that DOES work at the moment". But a lot of people will blame the decline in.. umm... watchability :umm2:... on Jodie's arrival, which is a shame. There have been one or two pretty good episodes, too.

It did I agree, with you as to Dr Who.

I think the same as to a Bond too

I really don't see how the show or character can be ruined by being a woman, when the character has not changed at all in the gender swap.

Maybe you just don't enjoy Jodie Whittaker in the role? In which case that wouldn't be the gender swap being to blame, just the choice of actor.

Honestly I think the most jarring part of the Doctor Who change is that the JW Doc is much more similar to the Tennant and Smith doctors, and not at all like the Capaldi doctor, but there are valid in-universe explanations for why that would be, as there have been for all of the regens since the reboot.

Eccleston turns into Tennant because he has a cheeky boner for Rose so he becomes a younger, more modern, more fashionable doctor. It all kind of goes to **** for Tennant so he becomes a wackier, more childish, irreverent doctor in Smith who goes through several war-like, universe-ending scenarios, gets gradually angrier and more jaded and literally much "older" which ends up being reflected in his transition to Capaldi, who starts off angry, lonely, uncaring and quite selfish but "heals and learns" over time before regenerating into the much lighter and more "Tennant and Smith like" Whittaker who has a focus on being surrounded by people and family. Unfortunately, the Brady bunch companions don't necessarily WORK very well, and it's a huge part of the clunky writing, but still - all of the lore works fine.

Sorry, I'm aware this is a Bond thread. :joker:

The main thing letting JW's Doctor down is the writing. They write her too much as an idiot who doesn't know what's going on half the time and relies on deux ex machinas to figure it out, which is a really ****ing poor choice on the writer's part to make this doctor in particular seem incompetent. I wish we got to see Jodie handle Russell T. Davies or Moffett's writing, it's insulting how badly written she is under Chibnall.

Jodie elevates the material she gets but you can't polish a turd.

I agree as if anything, the Tennant-Smith-Capaldi doctors became MORE knowledgeable and competent over those runs (as you would expect, given the doctor more than doubled, possibly trebled in age over that run) but then JW is often written like she's a n00b :think:. Almost as though the writers forgot that it isn't a "new" doctor, it's a doctor with all of the cumulative experience of all the previous doctors. I think they've aimed for a more humble character which was absolutely the right way to go (as the plot up to that point was an increasing arrogance that was then slowly broken down in Capaldi) but instead of more humble, they landed on less competent which makes no sense.

Oh I never thought of it like that. That's quite clever. And Smith did always nail that "old man in a young man's body" vibe too.

Loads of reports that Harry Styles odds are shortening by the day ..

Surely not the next Bond !?!?!

Similar to Colin Baker, he had potential to be an awesome Doc but most of stories were just garbage. JW is fine, I don't think she's so good that she elevates the material, but she deserves better.

Clever! Yeah the others did have a "through-line" so it's like Doc suddenly became stupid for no reason.

That'd be awesome! Hope he gets plenty of beach scenes :drool:

Oh,I might actually watch it then :hee:, I also would have done if Gerard Butler took the part,he was short listed a few years back,but he's probably too old now.
