For heaven sake, please be James Bond....!!!


I must say, haven't see any actor who has that Bond's spirit like this guy. Personally, i think James Bond has that unflinching calm and sexy accent and typical british sense of humor. and Mark resembles all that. i mean, i love this man's works. every characters he did is delivered fully, but also very...him! i can imagine him well in suit, kicking asses and standing by hot ladies. people say he is aging, yes, true. But he is not necessary to show abs like vin diesel or anything. just make a movie which contains little but impressive actions and give some mind-bending, soul-discovering scenes of bond. like a bond version of Mr. Holmes. think that would be great. (i love the idea of michael and beckham and idris being bond but i don't think they can be more suitable than Mark, Michael would do a find Bond until he shows his twelve-teeth smile. beckham looks like bond doing a perfume advertising poster and idris would definitely kill audiences if he tries to do english accent)

He's too old to be Bond now. And a bald James Bond (or worse, Strong in a bad toupee a la later years Connery) is not a great idea.

reply

Why is it a bad idea if he goes without a toupee? Are you prejudice against bald people?

reply

Because James Bond is not bald.

Well, I think neither black but Idris Elba is a front runner...

reply

It's a cute notion but EVERYONE (including Idris) knows that he will never be named Bond. And he is most certainly not a front runner for the role.

reply

Yeah... later yars. Except Connery wore a wig since the very beginning.

reply

OP Idris should be able to do an English accent considering he is British.

reply

He is the best supportive actor I know. He knows this I think. He gives so much!!

Let him play the baddie in the next 007 then. I might like to see a Alfred Enoch as James Bond. Yes noone cares about rase but this guy is super British. As long as he works on getting his accent back. lol
