I’ve always enjoyed his work since Kick-Ass and I actually think he could pull it off. They want younger and I feel like he hits the other marks that make James Bond 007. He’s well known, but has never quite hit A-list. This could take his career to the next level, which I think is what the creators are looking for.
Edit: Thanks to everyone whose given some pretty awesome suggestions for the new BOND and even suggested some addition ATJ movies I need to watch. Happy Holidays to everyone. Great discussion going on!
