Out of all the listed names, Pattinson is the closest to pulling it off. Probably already bulked up for Batman too, so not much needed. Just needs some MMA and firearms training

Current day UK has little interest in 1960’s era Bond, at least the studios don’t.


Pattinson is an interesting twist though.

I mean…what a dumbass.

Possibly the best British actor of his generation, already played so many different roles, done Batman, and has essentially already played Bond in Tenet and was by far the best part of that film.

Pattinson is a legit movie star, and having him tied up doing bond instead of doing more interesting things would be the only downside.

The upside would be once DV is done with Bond he might be able to get Nolan to do one or two.

If he wants it, it’s his. The others are just waiting for his decision.

Didn't realize he only just made 40. As long as they put them out in a reasonable frequency and not Craig's every 5-6 years, they could easily do 3-4 before he gets too old.

Like you said, he's probably just deciding if he wants to "limit" himself to being Bond for 10-15 years of his career. He seems to like taking a wide variety of projects.

Pattinson?
It’s a good choice that I could have made for them in a 5 minute phone call, for a $20 chick fil a gift card, three years ago

Pattinson or Hoult would be better than any of the others.

Turners lack of chairsma probably got to him. Craig also had less charisma than most but did well.

His interest in Bond might suggest he's done with Batman. I wonder what they'll do for the 3rd Reeves Batman film currently scheduled for 2042.

I think this does show that the batman 2 is likely it for Reeves and Pattinson

Ya know, it’s strange, but I kinda see him being Bond. I don’t hate it.

Me either. Preferable to most of the other options.

Didn’t Pattinson play a Bond type character in Tenet?

Eh. That felt more like Nolan's own talking point than what could be perceived in the film's execution.

I thought Moore was older. He was 57 in his last film. And Connery was 52 in Never Say never again.

I do think Pattinson is older than the producers wanted when the search started, the goal was mid 30s or even early 30s. Hard to believe now, but Connery was just 32 in Dr. No.
