Tom Holland would be an L of biblical proportions. The guy is 5'5" at best.


But in the flip side people clamor for Cavill who is built like the fricking hulk.

Honestly Hiddleston is probably the best casting from a physicality standpoint

I doubt there's much truth to this. They need a script first and then they'll start doing casting

Taron Egarton is a better option over Holland.

The other two are better options than Egarton physically, but I'm not sure they are better actors.

Holland is beyond awful for it. Would be one of the worst miscastings in history.

They should have switched to Fassbender years ago.

I think he'd be great. I'm also a fan of Tom Hopper, although he may be a little too muscular.

I thought there was an article a while back that said that Aaron Taylor-Johnson was the frontrunner, but this was before Amazon acquired the rights.

I'm convinced that Tom Ellis a few years ago would've been solid as well.

Did Henry Cavill die or something? And the next Bomd movies should be Cold War period pieces set in the 60s

No he's not lol. And it’s very easy, too easy, to lose muscle mass. Just simply stop lifting weights for a few weeks. Bam.

He looks great right now but even if they wanted him to lose a few pounds, he could do extra cardio for a month

I think they should go in a new direction and cast Stephen Merchant as James Bond

He would bring a fresh approach to tired material

Ever since I learned he married a 50 yr old and took her last name, I just can't picture him as James Bond.
