Wow, you've already reached that conclusion before anything has started. Impressive

My man, River Cartwright.

Absolutely love the thought of him being Bond.

Before anything has started? Bond news has been coming out ever since Broccoli sold the IP to Amazon.

A little premature for that assessment, there, Chicken Little. Let's wait until the next movie comes out before saying it sucks and is the downfall of Western civilization.

At the very least the part will be well acted. Every single one of those guys mentioned have serious acting chops.

I think Josh O'Connor looks too young though.

Only someone as dumb as yourself could engage in sophistry as much as you do without realizing how obvious they are.

Of the three, none of them are good-looking enough to play James Bond.

Josh O’Conner dipshit. Not Jack O’Connell.

The middle one there is O'Connell, not O'Connor. Different actor

So, Bond is going to be a dork?

I don’t know who any of these dudes are, I posted the photo that was in an article. My bad if it’s the wrong guy. The point stands, however, as none of them look like Bond.

ETA: I looked up the other guy. He’s even goofier looking than the others.

Yes, O'Connor would be an odd choice

They think the character is too masculine. They don’t want him seducing women or being too imposing around the female and other modernized characters they’re going to have in the new Bond universe. Btw they want to make a Moneypenny series, just so you know where this is headed.

This is the same “news” that’s been reported for the last 18 months.

And well directed.

Well acted and well directed. Off to a good start.

Lowden has to be the pick of those three.

The mystery choice is interesting. You ask yourself why they would keep it a secret. Either part of another big franchise or someone they think would get a lot of hate on social media.

Honestly, I've started to come around on Pattinson a bit if these are the other choices. I feel like he's flown under the radar with the rumors.
