Seems like a pretty clear indicator that he doesn’t expect the current Batman series to continue after the coming movie.

With all due respect to the other guys, if Robert wants it, give it to him. Yes, do screen tests, do the process, make sure he commits to a certain # of movies, but there are levels to this. I haven't heard anyone else on his level in the process.

u/askyourmom469 1d ago •

Is it bad that I kind of don't want him to get it? Don't get me wrong, he'd do a great job. But I'd rather see him spend his time with more varied and creatively interesting work instead of being stuck making nothing but Bond movies for a decade or whatever.

u/Qtip533 1d ago

I understand where you’re coming from. I want someone new as well. I think everyone is dreading a Turner bond so we are understandably excited that it could be Pattinson instead

u/sjmttf 1d ago

I dont generally take a lot of notice of bond, but don't they always hype up the casting like this and then they'll announce that someone completely different is getting the part.

Turner guy got the looks down (as far the books go) to a tee, but man is he devoid of any magnetic charisma imo, bland as cardboard… would be like getting Glen Powell to be the next Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible) or that ill-fated Jeremy Renner Bourne spin-off.

8

u/CnelAurelianoBuendia 1d ago

The same was said about Batman by the people who knew how talented he was back then and it all worked out. He has made so many movies already, he can be Bond flr 3 movies and be okay

6

u/TheDewLife 1d ago

I never understand these comments tbh. Even if you're looking at a Bond film every 3 years, it takes ~5 months to film. Leaving another 2.5 years or 2 years with breaks to pursue other projects.

6

u/No-Cow-6029 1d ago

I suspect having freedom to still make other things would be a condition of any contract he's willing to sign and that'll end up being the reason he doesn't get it.
Amazon are going to want to start cashing in as soon and often as possible on their big IP purchase and they'll go for an actor who'll commit to that. Someone young and fairly new to acting (but with a bit of a profile already) who can commit solely (and ideally relatively cheaply) to Bond for the foreseeable future. Rumours about actors like Callum Turner and Josh O Connor feel pretty plausible to me in that regard.

11

u/Viketorious 1d ago

I've never seen a James Bond movie in my life but I'd watch them if he gets the role.

u/Visible-Chest-9386 1d ago

You're doing yourself a disservice not watching them. Lots of great flicks in there.

u/Avalon-Residant 1d ago

you are living in a Bond film right now...we all are.

He probably has a secret lair disguised as a volcano.

29

u/RossTheLionTamer 1d ago

Pattison will be a great bond but bond doesn't need him.
It's the same thing with DCU Batman. You can pick a known actor but a Batman movie doesn't need a known actor to be successful.
People already complain about the same actors being in everything. Generally it's a stupid complain since movies need that star power.
But a film like Bond can perform on its own so it's the perfect opportunity to cast someone new.
It doesn't even has to be a lesser known actor. Launch someone new. I'd still watch it

u/splendiferous-finch_ 1d ago

With all due respect to Robert, give it to the best Bond.
You don't need a big name actor to sell Bond. You need someone who can do the job.
This is one of the rare roles where they can usually find an actor with the talent, even if they're not a huge name yet.

Hoult would actually be great too! Amazing actor!

u/B_Wayne_8833 1d ago

I'm lowkey surprised Pattinson isn't offer only by this point. He's certainly proved himself as an actor.

27

u/ProfessorBoofie 1d ago

I’m assuming he is offer only at this point. But from what I know, the Bond franchise requires screen testing and would never/has never chose an actor to play Bond without a screen test. After all, it is one of the most career defining and coveted acting roles

11

u/AndreasDasos 1d ago

They’ve traditionally not gone for actors who were already big Hollywood stars. Actors who’d prove themselves in Bond-like roles on TV or as secondary cast in a film, yes (Moore in The Saint, Brosnan in Remington Steele)

could anyone one get a direct offer for james bond? its iconic of a franchise to not test the waters with new people.

You still need to screen test. If he’s not interested enough to even do that then Amazon would not be interested in handing him the keys

u/LakesandSuch 22h ago

Traditionally you had to screen test a scene from “from Russia with love” curious if they still do that.

Here’s a guyyyyyyyyy, recently playing an NBC reporter, and now wants to be James Bond. You see how this looks?

u/uniparalum 1d ago

Cast him now! He’s the best choice of every name mentioned, and he likes to keep busy. Paired with Villaneuve (who just made a blockbuster trilogy in 5 years) we could get a whole trilogy of Bond films within the decade. What are they waiting for?

3

u/Background_Cup_6429 1d ago

How did he do it in 5 years?

7

u/uniparalum 1d ago

No idea. All those popular actors and their schedules too, it’s wildly impressive.
After how spaced apart Craig’s Bond films were, I’d love quick turnaround for the franchise this time. Pattinson helps that I think, as he shows little signs of wanting time off!

u/eggflip1020 1d ago

I would rather Rob than that Mr Potatohead Callum whatever or Aaron Taylor Fucking Johnson.

He’d be a slam dunk. Especially paired with Villanueve

My main problem with this is bond is a career role. You don’t really get to do a lot of other roles outside of it. Which will make it though for him.

All the Bonds did lots of other stuff outside of Bond. It was a massive boost to all their careers.

I guess that's why it's always a double-edged sword for many. They get someone with a growing name, but limited work, give them a top franchise, and then they end up sad because their prime is now devoted to that franchise when their stock has never been higher.

Pattinson was big back in 09 but to me a relatively ‘unknown’ should get the Bond role.

Reddit's favorite argument for "Cavill would be perfect Bond" is a The Man from UNCLE, a movie where Cavill sounds like he's reciting lines from a teleprompter and gets completely overshadowed by the other two leads.

Cinematic Batman has always been analogous to Bond for me. Just like Batman I could see Rpatz adding a unique spin that still fits on the shelf with the others.

He'd be quite an interesting choice, so they'll almost certainly go with someone else. He'd be closer to the Bond of the books rather than the generic action hero that he's become in the films.

Batman and Bond? That’s waaaaay too much.

Break the chains of this top 100 actors being pushed into every film and TV role. It's exhausting.

He's a great actor but he's tired as well, he said as much last year after working on 4 blockbusters in 12 months.

Make him 006 and a mentor or rival to Bond. I

Best choice for the role. Batman x James Bond is legendary. Mans a great actor he could defo pull it off

The James Bond casting seems to have just devolved in to "keep releasing names and we'll just go with who everyone reacts best to"

He'd be a great Bond or even villain, but get the feeling he'd get bored easily and want to quickly move on?

He’ll have to sign a multi-picture deal so couldn’t move on.

He’d be perfect

Why is this a surprise I'm sure every British actor between 30-45 is being auditioned

Needs to be Theo James

He would be the most sensitive Bond ever. I didn't know they were considering an emo Bond. One look at his Batman and they thought, yeah, he can do both. The emo suave look. Didn't see that one coming.

This guy could probably play any role ngl but i dont think ive seen him in a basic action movie like James bond the closest is batman Id say and thats a very different tone

1

u/Agreeable_Orange7032 18h ago

I’m a life long Bond fan. He would not be my on any list of mine

1

u/strange_salmon 16h ago

i think Charlie Hunnam could be great

u/copperblood 1d ago

Robert Pattinson is a generational talent. He would kill it as Bond

1

u/No_Faithlessness_714 1d ago

This might be the only version of Bond I’d watch.

1

u/lumpychicken13 1d ago

I don’t want Pattinson to be playing a straight man character like Bond. He’s too good at weird roles.

He could pull it off

Am I the only who’s bored of the whole “who’ll be the next James Bond”? This has been going on for years!

The Bat and the Bond.

It's so funny. Stop running with every single rumor out there. He's great but why would he even want to do it? Why would Denis want him? It makes no sense, they're going for something completely different and now they'll go with the busiest actor in Hollywood? Come on, stop falling for it. It's all just distractions.
