So no chance a Rupert Friend tries to play the part Craig-like?

I'm not convinced that with a change in actor the tone of the films will change.

But the tone already changed in the first half of SPECTRE. Some of the negative reviews complained about the return of "camp", which they appeared to use as a synonym for "fun". And recent billion-dollar hits have been things like The Avengers, Jurassic World and The Force Awakens. I'm sure it can't have escaped EON's notice that the trend is away from Dark Knight-style seriousness and towards more escapist fare.

True. Bond films do seem to follow trends of the time. So I'd keep a check on Batman vs. Superman to see how it does.

Anyone who doubts ML94's choice of Rupert Friend as a potential Bond needs to check out Homeland Season 4 Episode 10 which is a much better Bond "screentest" than Agent 47 was for him.

Kit Harrington's agent needs to put in a order for a few Dr. Scholls gel insoles in that case.

Madden is listed at 5'11. Give him a shave and a more bondian haricut and he looks the part for sure http://hdcoolwallpapers.com/wp-content/ ... ers-03.jpg

I'm starting to notice a trend. Turner, Cullen, Madden, Harrington..these guys while different shapes and sizes have a almost similiar look like they could all be cousins or something. Maybe that is why Craig fans say he looks "interesting"
