I know I’ve inquired about this in the past but I’ve always been confused about how Brits seem to place bets in the odds of the next Bond actor being cast and this goes on for like, decades. But I mean… how does anyone collect on that? Is there even a way to do so?
 
Pierce Brosnan can go the hell away for good. Thanks a lot for helping RFK Jr destroy healthcare in the US you anti science piece of trash. (If you’re unfamiliar, Brosnan, Woody Harrelson, Eric Clapton and others held rallies for that monster during his presidential campaign). Oh but hey you were good in one James Bond movie 30 years ago so I guess nothing matters.

I had no idea about Brosnan. That sucks.

Yeah somehow he’s flown under the radar unlike other ***holes like Chris Pratt and Alicia Silverstone but he’s been a part of this nightmare too. Makes me really angry because I was a fan; The Matador is one of my favorite movies and of course Goldeneye is god tier Bond. But he’s a real POS.

That’s the second American actor in the past few days to shut down the idea of playing Bond. Honestly, why are they even being asked?

Have virtually all corners of the media ecosystem decided to just go braindead at the exact same time?

It's like giving Jeff Bezos creative control of the franchise was a BAD idea.

They hired a director, but isn't that director still working on other stuff at the moment? The writer they hired... didn't they just hire him?

How are they already screen testing actors?

Either this is going to be the most rushed James Bond movie in history, or this rumor is just like all the other screen testing/actor rumors: A bunch of bull****.
Don't they screen test actors based on a specific scene from one of the early Connery movies?

Also, I'm pretty sure that casting directors supervise the initial stages of the audition and screen test process, and the director then comes in to take a look at the "finalists" (in addition to that, the choice for a new Bond actor has always been a "team choice").

I mean Adam West was literally asked by Cubby Broccoli to be Bond for Diamonds Are Forever and Josh Brolin auditioned at some point if I remember right

This is a tale as old as time lmao

Edit: James Brolin, his father, as pointed out below

Not saying I want it to happen but I don't think it's THAT controversial for an American to play Bond. He's been played by an Australian and an Irishman in the past. If English actors can play Spider-Man and Superman, an American actor playing Bond is fair game under the right circumstances.

Wasn’t Burt Reynolds offered Bond as well?

Adam West in a serious suave spy film would’ve been amazing.
