Not that I really care, but I just finished a rewatch of tenet and thought he might be a good fit. Loved him in the lighthouse and good time. Haven’t seen his Batman movie though.
Barry Keoghan, portraying just an average unassuming Joe in the real world but working as a spy. No glamor, no suits, no fancy parties, and not even gorgeous models. Everything is dressed down until the moment of action … like Jack Reacher but less killing machine and more just a clever spy that is more relatable as an average Joe.
If they want another five movies out of the next Bond actor, I’m not sure that’s Pattinson. Craig has been vocal about not liking being stuck with the character for five movies. And Pattinson already has experience being saddled with a less-than-stellar character for movie after movie (Twilight).
I would be more interested in 007 movies rather than James Bond. Keep the universe, put different characters in the 007 position so we get fresh stories. 27 Bond films seems like plenty, I’m not sure how much more can be said about Bond. I would be more interested to see Pattinson as 007 and free from the Bond baggage.
Be careful what you wish for. That would inevitably end up in some bad multiverse team up.
Henry Cavill:
That’s the real-life mission that Ian Fleming used to create both Bond and M.
Can’t be worse than Daniel Craig
Ok, I guess he could be worse than Daniel Craig then
