>The action star has no desire to take on the iconic spy role (recently rumored to be Aaron Taylor-Johnson next as Daniel Craig's replacement) in the future despite its lauded legacy because he considers his titular character on the Prime Video series Reacher to be his own version of Bond — and, in fact, even better.
>"It's funny, I kind of feel like Reacher is the American James Bond," Ritchson tells Entertainment Weekly. "And I've never had more fun playing a character. I love those larger-than-life, over-the-top action thrillers and spy movies and the heists that are smart and ahead of the audience. That's really great, but I feel like Bond, to me personally — people are going to hate me for saying this — I love Bond, but I feel like it's all a little misogynistic and predictable at this point."
>Ritchson adds that he'll always love the way Bond "can play 4D chess and stay ahead of us and save the world," but he views the character as a bit outdated now. "Reacher, to me, is like the American Bond, and I think it's a cool way to go about doing it where it's a little less purposefully cool," he says. "He's not in on how slick he is. I don't feel like we can have characters these days that are in on the joke. Either they know that they're funny, they know that they're smart, they know that they're very cool or capable or invincible — I feel like it reduces the stakes of stories, and we've seen too many movies, we're too savvy as an audience to be entertained by that."
wow he really wants that batman role
he really wants to be the Hollywood elite
he's so fricking desperate
when people talk about humiliation ritual. this is it. this is the classic.
The dude is out of his fricking rocker if he thinks Jack Reacher is in the same plane of existence as James fricking Bond. A tabloid rumour that's probably fake got more worldwide attention than two seasons of his Amazon slop releasing.
name one good bond film. austin powers is the only good thing to come from james bond schlock.
That has to be the most fricking insane opinion I've seen on this site in years. You should have a nice day immediately.
so none. thanks. goldeneye video game is another good thing but good in spite of james bond property. the movies are trash.
Their appeal was no-strings-attached pulp heroic entertainment. If you don't like it, that's fine but the series has gone on for 60 years for a reason so they're not "trash" and you praising some dumb game and a parody series over the Bond movies shows you're a millenial manchild moron.
Millenials are in their 40s now anon, you’re soooooo fricking old
I am not. Austin Powers is some dumb unfunny Amerigoy parody. That's all it is.
True, sadly. Daniel Craig destroyed the character.
You are oooold
Austin powers suuuuccks
You’re oooold
Craig’s Casino Royale is the best film in the franchise by a mile, Bond would be just as dead without him if not more
Wrong. Kys.
Nope, not even close. It's a bog standard 00's post 9/11 slop film.
>It's a bog standard 00's post 9/11 slop film.
Evidence?
No I’m right
Cringe old man meme
Impossible.
He’s is a moron but honestly no one cares that much about James Bond anymore either.
>Say these lines and also feed your kids hormones and we'll consider you for the role
sour grapes
>le tough guy who is actually a liberal
He's not wrong. Both sides overlook all kinds of shit as their guy goes into the boxing ring.
I can agree on that much.
Didn’t this dude get raped?
Yes, in these past few days he's made sure to humiliate himself. There's that, his le Drumpf take above and now shitting on James Bond for whatever reason.
He also used to claim he was natty. Now he says that he just started trt last year.
The rape Alan
You tell me
>American James Bond
Reacher was created by a British guy wtf lmao
the closest thing Americans have to James Bond is Ethan Hunt and by extension Tom Cruise.
Has he not seen the Daniel Craig movies? James Bond is a raped b***h.
You know the funny thing? Daniel Craig has played and held onto the role for nearly 20 years now and yet the James Bond every single person one earth thinks of when the name comes up is Sean Connery/Pierce Brosnan hence his le misogyny comment. Daniel Craig's James Bond is a complete cultural nothingburger.
>nothingburger
Cringe
but it's true. connery and brosnan ARE james bond in the public consciousness. daniel craig is that weird blonde guy.
Nobody cares but never type nothingburger again
It's a term from the 50s. would you rather he posted this?
Wasn’t he raped by a photographer?
kill it with
>Jack Reacher
is a turbo homosexual.
This is the same Reacher who, in Tripwire, makes it clear that he would have loved to frick his CO's 15 year old daughter, right?
>Either they know that they're funny, they know that they're smart, they know that they're very cool or capable or invincible
But this goes for Reacher as much as it does Bond
He also gave a literal truck load of opiates to a facially disfigured, drug addict, PTSD suffering war vet and then had sex with her.
this guy is on a sick combo with the PR teams he better get a role soon
>HEY NIGGLEY, HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU HOW HECKIN SMART YOU ARE?
Bond: raped
Perpetrator: his own wife
Reacher: raped
Perpetrator: a gay man
sorry poo boi, i need your boat
people are just watching Reacher for some amusing violence. is he insane?
We need to hear the Bond backstory where he got raped in order for him to be relevant
KWAB
It's unbelievable how desperate to be given a career by the israelites this massive homosexual is. He'll fricking do and say anything just to be thrown a bone and given attention
>The action star has no desire to take on the iconic spy role
Lmao as if he's some A-lister
What is his stand on raping homosexual male models?
