Well... at least they're all straight, white and biological males I guess.

Theo James was the right guy and at 41 could play the role for 5-7 movies.

These other choices are ...

For perspective ... the second best James Bond ...

Roger Moore was 45 years old when he debuted as James Bond in Live and Let Die (1973) and 57 years old in his final Bond film, A View to a Kill (1985), making him the oldest actor to play the role.

Ages in Each Movie (Release Year)

Live and Let Die (1973): Age 45

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974): Age 47

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977): Age 49

Moonraker (1979): Age 51

For Your Eyes Only (1981): Age 53

Octopussy (1983): Age 55

A View to a Kill (1985): Age 57

i've always suspected his role in that movie was what got him the bond role

he was menacing in that movie.



He was awesome in that movie. My personal nominee for the best role of his career.

In a cast full of megastars, he stood out. That's hard to do.

That movie was arse. Dude made zero impression as Superman. Nothing remarkable about his performance.


The movie was arse. But because of the script and the director. I also had thought Corenswet was a bad choice until I saw the movie. After seeing it, I think he would have been a great Superman, again with a better script, director and Superman outfit.

It was Corenswet, too. I thought his acting was a lot of him trying to channel Christopher Reeve's performance instead of putting himself into the role. It rang hollow to me. The rest of the film didn't do him any favors. Didn't care for Nick Hoult's Luthor, the nanobot chick was uninteresting, Lois sucked, the dog seemed like a gimmick. The Justice Gang was corny.
