He's a good choice for James Bond. He's young, athletic and not a big name to demand a huge wage from the producers. The new generation that EON wants to market James Bond to seems to find he's charismatic and likeable and zoomer women love him.

I don't like his voice.
It's shockingly bad
An anon posted a bit in the Kraven trailer in another Bond thread and that his voice sounds pretty deep and cool there and that's with an American accent. He can fix his voice.
Go to his Instagram comments. It doesn't matter if we think he's not charismatic or handsome, the new generation of audiences seem to think he is and that's who they want to appeal to.

Lol yes, surely the zoomers will save these films from being box office disasters.
Zoomers are the biggest consumers ever. You overestimate them massively. Barbie and Oppenheimer prove they are truly mindless cattle goys. All EON needs to do is pay for a TikTok marketing campaign and AstroTurf some weird marketing gimmick to make them see it.

They make up the lowest percentage of theatergoers >18.

It could be worse. Much worse.
He's okay but shouldn't james bond be middle aged? How the frick are high society types that james bond spies on supposed to take this young guy seriously?
They sign on for multiple movies and the process of making them takes their toll on the actor, so best to get someone in their early 30s.
>OP pic is older than Sean was here, by 2 years
Frick's sake.
Connery grew up poor. Iirc he literally participated in fights to win money for his family.
Likely a rougher upbringing than Johnson
A lot of it is modern diet, that made men so soft
ATJ is actually the same age as Bond in Casino Royale, the novel.
How are they turning men into twinks longer?
We don't even know what they'll be doing in the next film, since they killed off 'James Bond' in the last one. Will this be an entire series reboot set in in the historical era the books were set in? Will it be a new origin story moved to the present day? Or will they go though the process of an existing Agent getting told 'Your name is now 'James Bond'?"
It'll be disappointing either way. It'll either be a beautifully done period piece but with modern sensibilities in its politics and casting or it'll just be modern day shit. I honestly see no reason in them continuing the Craig run with another "James Bond". I mean, the name itself would carry so much infamy in the criminal underworld it'll cease to be a name any spy would use.
Bond isn't a regular spy, he's not even a spy. He's a 00, the highest tier of agent. Him being infamous actually works in that he's so efficient and undefeatable that he doesn't need covers or to misdirect. It's not a mistake or a plot hole, it's intentionally written that way. He's the MI6's best man and pseudo-mascot. It works if you make a bit of a Batman figure, like a villain knowing his time is up once he hears of Bond asking around for him.
Incredibly dishonest to not even mention the fact he's israeli. That's an essential piece of the puzzle to understanding this humiliation ritual.
its a good choice because israelites also serve anglos in the real world
he's fricking goofy looking, won't be able to take this seriously at all.
James Bond is an anachronistic mess and is essentially capeshit at this point. The only way to do it right would be as a period piece.
Making Bond anything but a white man and setting it in the past would kill the franchise forever and prove they have no juice anymore and have to rely on memberberries.
he was good in that brad pitt train movie
yeah, i liked him in that too. all things considered, this is a very sound choice that won't get people confused like with Daniel Craig. if the movies are any good, remains to be seen...
He doesn't look English. I can accept a Pooloo as Bond if he looks English. This guy looks mors like a Russian Bond Villain, not the hero. He looks sleazy and conniving. Bond is suave and slick.
You are fricking out of it, man. Indian subhuman.
Goodmorning sir
To be fair Bond is a Scot-Swiss larping as a quintessential Englishman. You've had a Scot, Irishman, Welshman, Aussie and Englishman play him in the past.
Listen frickface and listen well, nothing that you tell me, not a single one of your curated points will ever convince me to go watch this subversive homo-slop movie with this puppet israelite. I don't care if they pay every single Bond actor alive to suck his circumcised clown dick. I'm not watching. People are getting sick of your daily homosexual ad, stop it. I am not watching.

i said it before and I'll say it again: a picture of Dalton as Bond should be next to kino in the dictionary.
Connery did it better
he's a literal who, israeli and closeted homo. The franchise has died.
He doesn't at all convey conservative Englishness, he looks like a typical frickboy out of Los Angeles. Absolutely awful choice.
Bond isn't about being English, conservative, or anything else. The books were rewritten for a reason. Bond is about inclusivity. Elliot Page is the next bond.
