Damn, what a terrible list of names.

Why do they all look so melancholy?

Elordi is the only possible hit maker here. Anyone else gets the part and Bond becomes strictly streaming content.

Don't know anything about this guy, but he looks the part. He's also 6ft which is good height for Bond. Elordi might be too tall for the role

Some of the hottest names in Hollywood right now on the list and most of them actually british (Elordi is Aussie)
This is a pretty damn good list, actually
Lowden would be incredible but has to be much older than all the rest

Yeah all the other Bonds were superstars when they got hired

I like Lowden, he’s been good in what I’ve seen him in but watch something with him and you’ll see what I mean that he’s not a Bond. Elordi is tall but he can act, some of the physicality in Frankenstein looked fluid so could do some of the fighting/stunts. The height is an issue but he has gravitas and the women like him. Out of those guys, especially after NTTD, you need someone who can get people in seats. Elordi may not be a guarantee there but the others are a guarantee not to do it. Dog Stars maybe a little barometer for Elordi.

There is no list of names for which your reply would have been any different
Posted on 8/26/26 at 10:23 am to Fun Bunch
I have not.

The last 2 were very well known prior to being Bond.

Daniel Craig was not very well known at all.
He had a "hot" movie called Layer Cake that made him a name in Hollywood circles only, it only made like 12 million bucks at the box office.
he was not known AT ALL to general audiences, complete unknown really
Pierce obviously was, but most other Bond actors were not
Elordi is in a movie this weekend directed by Ridley Scott that is going to be the biggest bomb of his career

Craig was well known and in big movies like Road to Perdition, Tomb Raider, Munich, infamous
If Dog Stars bombs that badly, yea that’ll be a big red flag.

Both Turner and Elordi are like 6'5" so they are obviously playing around with that concept

There are plenty of models you can put with a tall guy and be fine. He just made a series with two tiny girls and nobody said anything about the height difference.

They look like they have hemorrhoids or something.

Audiences did not know who he is. I did not say that he had never been in anything.
Layer Cake was the film that got him bond.
I think he was cast as Bond before Munich had come out as well.
Like...this is a well documented thing that Craig was "unknown" to most audiences before Bond, it was part of why he was cast
